nuTsie Mobile Music Service Pushing Harder For BlackBerry Adoption

nuTsie is not really a new service since it came out a few months ago. Surprisingly it did not spark the revolution and uptake that nuTsie was hoping for.
A short description of nuTsie:

nuTsie is a new mobile and online music service that allows anyone to listen to their iTunes music and playlists in hi-fi quality [...]

Why RIM Needs A New Advertising Agency

Remember RIM’s last ad campaign and our parody. I was just reading an short article on Adrants.com about RIM’s new advertising campaign. The latest is called Comedy Hits The Hotspot. I am guessing that this is in regard to UMA WiFi calling but seriously RIM could have at least chosen FUNNY comedians to sponsor! I [...]

Don’t Write and Drive !!! Please…

This was one of the hardest articles I have ever written. The pictures I have posted below are from an email I received from a relative in Europe who happens to be a police officer. The header on the email was, “Don’t text and drive”. The guy was texting whilst he was driving and ‘wandered’ [...]

BlackBerryThemes.co.uk Gets An Overhaul - Easier Access To 100 Free Themes

Late in January we mentioned Michael Small’s website www.blackberrythemes.co.uk. Michael has over 100 free themes available on his site for the 8100, 8300, & 8800 series devices but the site was crippled by the fact that it did not work in any other browser other than Internet explorer.

Well Michael has taken our concerns to heart and [...]

FYI from RIM previously. I forgot to include it in the last post:

Microsoft Buying Danger? WM SideKick?

Usually we would not cover such a thing but I actually was actually surprised when I read this little tidbit on BoyGenius.com. It seems like Microsoft is buying out Danger Inc. I guess that means that the Danger OS will be going the way of the wind. I wonder what a Windows Mobile Danger handheld [...]

WebMessenger Mobile IM Application Now FREE!

Personally I think this is a move WebMessenger should have made ages ago. They are now offering their WebMessenger Mobile IM application for free! WebMessenger was the first IM client that I remember for BlackBerry devices back in 2000. WebMessenger allows you to login to AIM, Google, MSN, and Yahoo from your BlackBerry!
Pretty cool and [...]
