The RIMarkable in-box gets crazy sounding emails from time to time and this one actually made me laugh out loud so I decided to post it.
After squarely being kicked in the seat of the pants by Apple with their launch of the iPhone and the continued success of Research in Motion’s BlackBerry, Palm, once the king of the hill in the smartphone industry, has decided to name all future next generation devices after fruit.
Expect the Palm Sapote in late Q1 next year. You know how the saying goes, if you can’t beat em, join em.

Here is another reason Apple isn’t going to hurt RIM’s BlackBerry sales anytime in the near future. 100% carrier subsidized BlackBerry Curves. And we’re not talking about the old 8300 models either.
If you want to get your hands on one of the new Wi-Fi enabled T-Mobile BlackBerry Curves and don’t want to shell out a lot of cash, you need to head on over to Amazon where they are offering a Free BlackBerry Curve 8320 with a 2-year activation discount and a mail-in rebate.

Research in Motion has recently filed a really cool patent application entitled Advanced Voice and Data Operations in a Mobile Communications Device.
The abstract details:
A system and method for integrating voice and data operations into a single mobile device capable of simultaneously performing data and voice actions. The mobile device working in a network capable of exchanging both cell phone calls and data items to the mobile device. By wearing an earphone or an ear-bud device the user is capable of dealing with voice conversations while working with data centric information related to the current caller. By providing a data-centric device with voice capabilities there is a new range of features that allow incoming data events to trigger outgoing voice events.
In plain English… You can talk on your BlackBerry and send email at the same time.
This should completely eliminate these type of calls. “Let me hang up and send it to you and I will call you right back.“

I know that we have been doing a lot of talking about the CDMA BlackBerry Pearl 8130 devices coming to Verizon and Sprint in November, however, there is another new GSM BlackBerry Pearl device commonly referred to as the BlackBerry Pearl 2.
The BlackBerry Pearl 8120 made it’s debut yesterday in Italy. With new new features including Wi-Fi connectivity, an enhanced visual interface, hardware refinements and a 2 megapixel camera with video capture, the BlackBerry Pearl 8120 is just as advanced as the CDMA BlackBerry Pearl 8130, differing only by the inclusion of Wi-Fi over GPS.
