Personally I am still struggling with the idea of why I would want a BlackBerry watch accessory but the Allerta inPulse Handsfree BlackBerry Watch is now available for preorder. The price is not as terrible as I was expecting at $149 but still not a casual purchase in my book.
Check it out at www.freeupyourhands.com. [...]

RIM let me know that they have officially released the HS-500 Bluetooth Wireless Headset that we mentioned before. I had a chance to check out the headset at a recent event and it looks pretty cool but not groundbreaking. The main appeal is the fact that it uses a MicroUSB charger port like newer BlackBerrys [...]

When I see these types of accessories it makes me iCringe. The latest and greatest in haircut gadget accessories is the iCape and the iTwinge tries to make the iPhone a BlackBerry wannabe.
The iCape is essentially a haircut cape with a clear 6” by 8” window in the front so you don’t have [...]

Seidio let us know about their latest case release called the Innocase Snap. This case separates itself from the pack by only covering the back, sides, and bottom of your BlackBerry Tour to minimize bulk. I am kind of intrigued by the concept of such a case since it has a slick design. Too [...]
