The BlackBerry Is The BlackBerry

September 29, 2008 by Robb Dunewood 13 Comments

I found the following email in my inbox this morning and though that I would share…

I tried my best to love the iPhone. I stood in line for it for three hours to back in June of last year to get one on the first day. Although 8 gigs wasn’t nearly enough to hold all of my movies the display made having to sync every day worth it. To this day I say that the iPhone is the best music playing, movie watching, web browsing mobile phone ever invented.

The problem for me was that even though my company now supports the iPhone and I can get my work email on it, it is simply painful to type anything more than the shortest of responses. I found that I was pulling my laptop out more than I ever did with my BlackBerry.

September 29, 2008 by Robb Dunewood 13 Comments

The last rumor in the world that AT&T would want to start spreading around the internet is that the iPhone may be coming to Verizon next year, so, make sure you keep this just between you and me.

9to5Mac is reporting that an Apple insider has told them that a CDMA iPhone will come to Verizon in 2009 and that it could be announced as early as MacWorld.

Is This The Official BlackBerry Storm Announcement?

September 29, 2008 by Robb Dunewood 4 Comments

We just picked up on this over at BerryReview…

Is this the official Research in Motion BlackBerry Storm Announcement?

The upcoming BlackBerry® Storm™ is the first touch screen BlackBerry smartphone from Research In Motion and it builds upon a variety of existing BlackBerry features and capabilities to produce a truly compelling touch experience. With the BlackBerry Storm, RIM will introduce a version of software (v4.7) that delivers a new set of APIs and capabilities for third party developers including:

1) Enhancements to the existing RIM User Interface APIs to provide support for touch and gestures including proper handling of multi-touch events.
2) Support for MIDP applications that leverage touch.
3) Virtual keyboard APIs
4) Enhanced and open GPS APIs on all networks

In addition to the new API capabilities, your Browser-based applications will build upon the browser capabilities released in v4.6.0 including:
For third party developers, one of the unique features of the BlackBerry Storm is its compatibility mode which provides an operating environment for existing 3rd party applications that are not implemented to support touch. This feature will automatically convert the touch events into existing trackball events. When an application is executing in compatibility mode, a virtual keyboard will be shown at all times for text input to mimic the physical keyboard on previous devices and will only support portrait mode.

  • Improved web page rendering including AJAX
  • XMLHttpRequest
  • JavaScript® 1.5
  • CSS 2.1
  • DOM L2 (including Core, HTML, Style, Events)
  • HTML 4.01 (including Forms, Maps, Tables, Frames, Objects)
  • Improved Native Attachment Download
  • Support for downloading files via the browser

Key Features
– Screen Resolution: 480×360
– Virtual Keyboard: SureType (Portrait Mode) and Full Keyboard (Landscape Mode)
– Networking: Global network support (2G/3G)
– Memory: Embedded Memory

For all BlackBerry Alliance partners, RIM will be providing access to developer documentation, the BlackBerry Java Development Environment (JDE) v4.7 and the BlackBerry Storm simulator in October to enable development and testing of your applications on this new and compelling smartphone.

AT&T To Offer Free TV Service To BlackBerry Bold Users

September 29, 2008 by Robb Dunewood 1 Comment

 
We just saw on BlackBerry News this morning that AT&T plans to offer its mobile TV service called CV (Cellular Video) to BlackBerry Bold subscribers with a data plan for free.

As I think about it, this is probably not a bad ideo for AT&T. Verizon has a new BlackBerry coming out pretty soon that will be completely capable of playing the same type of on demand video, but, we know that Verizon doesn’t give anything away for free.
