Just spotted a post on BlackBerryCool that MLB and RIM have teamed up together to offer a bit more than just a homescreen link to the MLB mobile site. Instead they want you to have a link directly to your teams page. YAY! This is just what I wanted!!! SIGH…
Truthfully why cant RIM just let [...]

The long awaited BES 4.1.5 has been stripped of HTML emails and has been delayed once again. What a surprise. After the last delay I am surprised it is still coming out before WES. One of our readers, Snips, pointed out that the new release date shown on RIM’s website shows April 15th as the revised release [...]

I just read 5 different sources talking about an outage planned for March 22nd between 1am and 5am EST in “the Americas”. I guess all of you who are on call with their BlackBerry devices will have the graveyard shift off? This planned outage is going to cause possible outages for both BES and BIS due to a [...]

YAWN!. According to RIM’s latest press release they will be having a live webcast and conference call to announce their 4th quarter and 2008 fiscal year end results on April 2nd.

Stefano just sent me a link to a interview of Mike Lazaridis done by Joia Shillingford of the Financial Times. I found it quite interesting to see where his likes and dislikes stand.

We know that the 8120 is now available for Business customers at this link on AT&T’s website. Our pal Gary at ViralElectronics.com just found the OS 4.3 download available on AT&T’s [...]

Every few months I get an email from RIM asking me if I want to assist them with a new market survey. The all seem to have the same questions and then throw in the screwball questions.

I know this will only interest the developers out there I still think it is worthy of mention. We have been hearing about this Eclipse plugin for quite awhile and now it is finally available. You can see a screenshot of it below:

Magmic released two new interesting games over the weekend. One of them, Leisure Suit Larry, is an old time classic. I cant wait to try both out. Both are pretty cool looking role playing games.
