Someone asked me the other day if I was getting excited about BlackBerry 10 as its launch early next year gets closer. I said that I wasn’t necessarily excited, but, that I was eagerly anticipating the release.  They asked my why I wasn’t excited, and, after thinking about it for a moment, I said, “There Read more...

Believe it or not, there are actually quite a few, extremely good, very high quality apps out for the BlackBerry PlayBook.  The issue, however,  is that they are almost impossible to find unless you already know they exist. The problem here is app discovery, and, to be honest, every mobile platform struggles with it.  BlackBerry Read more...

The Roman Empire was not built in a day. The same can be said for Research in Motion when it was on top, Apple and iOS when the iPhone reached number one, and, Android now that it is top dog.  It took years for each of these platforms to best their competition and become the Read more...

I personally have been calling for Research in Motion to take BBM cross platform since March of 2011. Although rumors pointing to such a move are pretty easy to find, BlackBerry Messenger, what I believe to be the best mobile IM client of all time, is still only available on BlackBerry devices, and, sadly, has Read more...

I started this debate with a co-worker on Friday of last week simply stating that if this ruling against Samsung holds up this would be a wonderful opportunity for BlackBerry to regain some much-needed market share in US.  The question is how can RIM exploit this ruling for its benefit and capitalize to gain lost and new Read more...

There is no question that Research in Motion is “all in” when it comes to its next-generation BlackBerry 10 operating system. BlackBerry 10 must be a huge hit for RIM to have any shot of turning things and remaining a viable handset maker as we know the company today. Unfortunately for RIM, BlackBerry 10 success Read more...

I am often asked the question, “What can RIM do to get the BlackBerry back on top?” To be totally honest , I don’t know that there is anything, realistically speaking, that RIM could do to regain the crown of top smartphone in the foreseeable future. As a matter of fact, a potential bright future Read more...

After a week of playing around with BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.0 I have to admit that I really like it. The OS is smooth, intuitive and easy the use and the implementation of multitasking is the best I’ve seen on a tablet.  RIM has added basic applications like calendar, contacts, and email, and, although they Read more...
