Samsung ChatON- one more reason RIM is behind!

Group messaging Apps are one the most popular forms of communication as of late in the wake of text rate hikes (which is a horrid abuse of power by the carriers- except for Sprint). But in the wake of the hype of these apps Samsung of all companies is here to save us?

Yes Samsung is here with ChatON, a new multi platform group messaging program the likes of Blackberry messenger! It is rumored to be announced at the IFA event overseas. Which all should be happy if it works as well as we hope it will.

Now comes the loser in this possibly, RIM and its blackberry messenger. RIM was rumored to introduce Blackberry messenger, it's knight in shining armor, to android this year and iOS early next year. Where you at RIM? If RIM even hopes to save itself you would think this was one thing they should have hope to capitalize on.

Don't get me wrong I love Rim as it holds a big spot in my heart but they missed another opportunity to get bbm out on more platforms. If RIM truly wants to gain more consumer buyers them they will have to make a move soon or fail to exist because they are losing many consumers, even in Canada!

GroupMe in agreement to be acquired by Skype!

Per GroupMe's Twitter account they announced the following "Exciting news! Today, we have entered into an agreement to be acquired by Skype". This is great news if it means it can grow this multi platform group messenger program. The only concern I have with this is that Skype, who recently was acquired by Microsoft, could just become a Windows Phone only program and kill the potential it has as a Blackberry messenger alternative for the likes of Blackberry, Windows Phone, Android and iOS. I personally use GroupMe and hope it can become a all in one group/video chat client and retain its multi platform nature. Here's to what may be a great app to be.

RIM releases BBM 6 with BB Connected Application support.

Finally a refresh for BBM in the form of BBM 6. This actually is a real refresh but brought some attention to BBM Connected Applications, and I fall back to the rumor of BBM on android/iOS.

This my personal speculation on the matter and I guess some hope that RIM will make a move to gain some positive attention, because they need it.

For more info on BBM 6 hit the link below.

Twitter to buy tweetdeck?

Word on the street says this ones legit but is this the right move for twitter? Twitters own app blows so why not pull a google and buy another company that actually does it well, right. Watch out android users because this may or may not be good for your beloved app. Are iOS apps next?

Anyway, hit the link below for more details on the matter.

Windows phone 7.....and why they are struggling!

OK let's just get this one out from the get go, Microsoft is making major mistakes with their new Os. They are not meeting their quota's or even expectations with Windows phone 7 and teaming with AT&T as the exclusive carrier just somes it all up.

Now let's get into their current issue with updates, but not their cut and paste update, just the update to allow updates. You might be saying "wtf"! Your not alone, I feel for all the Samsung owners, regardless of windows or android (but that's another post in itself).

Ok now we have many reasons why the update failed or why the phones were bricked but in any case Microsoft is not helping their case to become a accepted Os alongside Android and iOS. For more info on this hit the link for a full break down, enjoy.
