Rumor: RIM working on a Blackberry Tablet
With over 1 million units sold in 28 days, the iPad is a runaway hit. Positioned as an intermediary device between a smartphone and a laptop, the iPad may very well change, in a fundamental way, how we use technology. But more importantly, the masses have spoken, and consumers are more than willing to pay [...]

Back in January, the Moto Development Group tested the efficiency and accuracy of capacitive touchscreens across a number of devices. When the dust settled, the iPhone’s touchscreen reigned supreme. But not everyone was convinced that the testing was all that telling, particularly because it was done with a human finger, making the test prone to [...]

Models of the upcoming BlackBerry Storm 2 are already out in the wild, and RIM has apparently decided to abandon the SurePress feature it couldn’t stop talking about when the original BlackBerry Storm debuted. Wasn’t the idea of a clickable screen the entire selling point of the Storm in the first place? It seems that [...]

Citing strong sales, RIM co-CEO Jim Balsillie told Reuters earlier today that RIM is already planning a follow up to the BlackBerry Storm.

Thursday, February 26, 2009
Check out this un-aired ad for the BlackBerry Storm. According to MacDailyNews, the video wasn’t considered by RIM, but was rather created as a “spec spot that’s meant to drum up business for the agency or production house that created it, in this case, GUAVA.” Pretty cool commercial in our opinion. What do you guys [...]

Tuesday, February 10, 2009
Citing a developer who supposedly worked on Android, VentureBeat is reporting that Apple asked Google not to implement multi-touch technology in its Android mobile OS, and that Google, obviously, complied. The implementation of multi-touch on the iPhone gives it a key advantage over competing phones such as the G1 and the BlackBerry Storm, and it raises the [...]

Thursday, December 4, 2008
Check out this interesting article from GracefulFlavor about how the iPhone forced RIM’s hand into producing a device that fell outside its engineering strengths. The BlackBerry Storm, in my opinion, is a wonderful illustration of how Apple’s innovation and market appeal can force a smart company like RIM to invest millions of dollars in a [...]

Tuesday, December 2, 2008
According to a research note from Needham analyst Charlie Wolf, the iPhone now has a 16.6% market share for smartphones worldwide, an incredible feat for a phone that has only been around for a year and a half.

Thursday, November 27, 2008
I came across this quote from Cosential that captures the essence of why many developers are starting to prefer coding for the iPhone. “In learning about development for the Blackbery platforms, we have to create a build for each phone and each network. As a developer, I just can’t afford it. Most of my customers [...]

Thursday, November 27, 2008
David Pogue of the New York Times released his review of the BlackBerry Storm today and he is less than impressed. It’s no help that the Storm shows you two different keyboards, depending on how you’re holding it (it has a tilt sensor like the iPhone’s). When you hold it horizontally, you get the full, [...]
