The BlackBerry vs.iPhone Debate Continues

by 7 Comments

As regular RIMarkable readers know, the very mention of the BlackBerry or the iPhone in contrast to the other device sparks heated debate on which device is better. New and regular commentators alike flood the comment section with their opinions on which device is better and who will end up on top when it’s all said and done.

RIMarkable is primarily an editorial… Basically a bunch of opinions on the BlackBerry and other smartphones as they relate to the BlackBerry and we expect and welcome differing opinions.

I Want TweetDeck On My BlackBerry

by 40 Comments

TweetDeck for iPhoneIt is not very often that I am envious of applications, especially free ones, that are available on the iPhone but lacking on the BlackBerry.  Everyone now and again, however, a cool iPhone app comes out that I whish I had on my BlackBerry and it just so happens that TweetDeck for iPhone is one of them.

Don’t get me wrong, UberTwitter is an awsome Twitter client for the BlackBerry, however, I hope the folks over at TweetDeck get to working on a BlackBerry client soon.

One of the cool new features is an integrated Twitter client which I am about to really put through the paces.
