RIM has really been working on their accessory line with recent devices. Scott let me know about the latest accessory RIM has put on ShopBlackBerry.com which is the BlackBerry HS-500 Bluetooth Headset. The headset looks pretty standard but adds in features like automatic volume control. I am not sure how this will compare with [...]

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 [...]

I have been a fan of OtterBox cases for quite awhile. They now have 3 main lines of cases ranging from the light silicon of the impact case to the heavy duty hard case on the defender line. They just released all three variations for the BlackBerry 8520 Curve.
You can check out the cases [...]

David B sent us in this little tidbit on the steps forward that mobile printing has been making.
From Their Site:

We mentioned the Polaroid PoGo Bluetooth printer back in March as a cool albeit expensive way to print out pictures from your BlackBerry. Back then the device was a little pricey hovering around $80-$100.
Mr Pack was kind enough to send in a tip letting us know that the price is now all the way down [...]

A colleague showed off a pair of these bone conducting headphones to me last week and the idea just stuck in my head. Unlike traditional headphones that go in or over your ear bone conducting headphones just rest on your jawbone. That leaves your ears free to hear ambient noise like cars about to [...]

I am not sure what to make of SmartestCover. James spotted this little company that is selling a new screen cover for the Storm that provides touchable little nubs letting you know where your buttons are. Kind of like the little nubs on the F and J keys on a regular keyboard.
Now the interesting [...]

I am not sure if sales will take off like crazy for the Mogo Talk but it is the first Bluetooth headset I have seen stuck to a BlackBerry 8900 or 83xx Curve. They also mentioned on CrunchGear that the BlackBerry Tour & Bold models are coming soon. I remember there used to be [...]

Iskin sent me a sample of their new Vibes for the BlackBerry 8900, at first I though it was just like any other silicon cover but it turns out it is tougher. The package comes with the bodyguard, a clear screen film to protect your screen and some LCD anti-static cleaning [...]

My buddy Simon caught wind or Motorola’s upcoming HX1 Endeavor Bluetooth headset that looks really promising. It uses bone conducting technology that senses the sound vibrations in your jaw to get your voice. The headset also has a microphone but when you turn on their Stealth mode it will only use the a sensor [...]
