Emoze has announced today that they’re now offering free Gmail push on any cellphone out there for free. We remember emoze, right? Emoze has been openly targeting RIM as a competitor, and now they’re horning in on their Google turf, which is fair game. Making nice with Google is good for business. There’s a divide […]

Gizmodo’s found some folks on Pinstack with pictures of BlackBerry 8820 getting its Wi-Fi groove on. It’s kind of old hat by now, especially with plenty of folks in Europe with their hands on one, but we’ll take whatever we can get on this side of the pond. Reports still linger about the quality of […]

BlackLine has announced today beta testing for their new location-based service called Blip for the BlackBerry 8800. They’re aiming for a social networking product with Blip, where your location is transmitted regularly to a particular list of friends who can access your location through Blip’s website. Although this beta test is geared specifically for the […]

It looks like Atari’s none too happy about BrickBreaker, the game that’s been preloaded on BlackBerrys since the 7200, and has been pursuing legal action. The resemblance to Atari’s Breakout is noticeable, and you can hardly blame Atari for the litigation. RIM has no doubt enjoyed the enterprise popularity in the game, and by association […]

In RIM’s recent issue of BlackBerry Connection, there was an interesting article on how to improve corporate BlackBerry adoption by “seducing” users. We’re used to hearing about companies with restrictive IT policies that block downloading ringtones or games, but the IT director at British and American Tobacco has gone another route. By not only allowing […]

I have a confession to make: although I’m really interested in the future of GPS, and I excitedly follow all the latest news in LBS, I have yet to really incorporate it into my life. The reason? I haven’t (yet) seen an LBS application that makes so much sense for my lifestyle that I’d be […]

Magmic continues to twang away on strings of nostalgia, now with their new game Duckshot. Think back long and hard to the last time you shot a pixellated duck. That’s right, you probably had a bright orange Zapper attached to a little gray box that you unloaded every time that damned dog laughed at you […]

We’ve really got to give props to the Engadget boys for their open letter to Palm. For a company that’s clearly having trouble, sometimes tough love is the only way out of the rut. It was even enough to warrant immediate response from Palm’s CEO. Now, given that RIM’s doing a hell of a lot […]

Toshiba’s busting out their own 8 GB card alongside some considerably beefier cards, getting up to the 32 GB mark. SanDisk’s cards high-density memory cards have been in the works for awhile now, and Samsung’s are on the way too, but damn, have you ever tried to actually get your hands on any SDHC card? […]

Well, that didn’t take long. Vodafone has officially announced the release of the BlackBerry 8310, complete with GPS capabilities. Any Brits in a rush to get this will have to go with Vodafone, since the carrier has a 2-month exclusive on the BlackBerry stretching until the end of October. On the plus side, they’re offering […]

The Globe and Mail just posted about a pretty great product RIM’s working on: the BlackBerry Home Server. The idea is that it would be kind of a mini-BES for your home, which would let RIM’s network operating center to talk with your PC at home, allowing for access to music, photos and files from […]

The fine Spaniards at miblackberry have spotted an upcoming BlackBerry 8100 dock by the name of BerryBuddy that looks pretty stylin’, especially versus RIM’s clunky thing. RIM’s BlackBerry 8800 and 8300 docking stations are coming out next week, but if the form factor of the accessory doesn’t match the that of the device, it […]
