SanDisk Announces Ginormous 12GB MicroSDHC Card

SanDisk has upped the ante on MicroSDHC cards by announcing their new 12GB card. I actually saw it at the show but it was camera shy.  So far these larger SDHC capacities have only benefited people using OS 4.3 since the older OS 4.2 does not support more than 4GB. I actually have a 6GB [...]

VideoForBlackBerry has just released their client that allows you to stream video to your BlackBerry 8130 Pearl. Once again the only reason it is limited to the 8130 is because it is the only device with the current OS 4.3 required for streaming video. Sorry for not putting any pics. It would take too long [...]

Hands On Shots Of The BlackBerry PowerStation

Hands On With MobiTV For BlackBerry - Mobile TV

Over the weekend MobiTV has released their mobile tv application for the BlackBerry 8130. The software is not device specific but requires the streaming codecs only found in OS 4.3. The clarity was great and the speed was surprising over EVDO. The program guide is a nice addition.
If you happen to have an 8130 you [...]
