Verizon BlackBerry Z10 Owners Are Dying for an OS Update…
I have been hearing from quite a few readers who recently purchased the Verizon BlackBerry Z10 about issues I know BlackBerry has resolved months ago. I know that Verizon has an older version of the BlackBerry 10 OS but some of these issues are very painful. For example, here is just one laundry list of…
Google Killing Google Reader & Google Voice for BlackBerry Client
Google just pissed off a whole slew of reporters, journalists, bloggers, and many other Google Reader users out there. Google Reader became the gold standard for RSS readers with Google pioneering the space a few years back. It is one of the only Google services I would actually pay a subscription for. In the past…
BlackBerry World Still Missing The Fundamentals – Coupon Codes & Gift Cards
I was really hoping the BlackBerry World team would finally address this HUGE gaping hole in the BlackBerry storefront with the launch of BlackBerry 10. While they did add sweet features like remote installing they are still missing a feature that is basic to every other online store in the world. BlackBerry World currently sits…

His article has sort of…

However it is unlikely that the two of them are going to come to much of an agreement, because they are talking about two totally separate things. Saunders’ response is…
RIM Details Their Roadmap for Code Signing – Still Seems Relatively Useless
I have always had a huge issue with code signing for BlackBerry applications. For almost a decade code signing has been a hugely frustrating and annoying barrier to entry for new BlackBerry developers while providing marginal security improvements. Hell it used to cost $200 for code signing keys. As far as I have been…
What RIM is Up Against? (In Vino Veritas)
I hate to categorize TechCrunch as “The Media” but RIM definitely has a perception problem/bias with some media outlets. Its almost like anything RIM does whether good or bad gets a negative spin.
