RANT! BlackBerry Platform Not Developer Friendly

Recently we posted about a rant by Neil, the developer of BBSmart HTML Email Viewer, on his blog DevBerry.com. It seems that Neil is not alone. Jonathan Fisher, the developer of BlackBerry Web Shortcuts and a few freebie games, has added his thoughts to the mix.

It does not include instructions on how to encrypt the memory card and device memory but that is a straight forward [...]

RANT! RIM & Facebook Annoying BlackBerry Users

It seems like T-mobile has decided to push out a link to all of their BlackBerry subscribers for their Facebook application. I have already received two emails about it so I thought I would let everybody else in on the details.

RIM Advertises 8310 In Times Square, New York

It is not just any device that gets blown up for the whole world to see in Times Square. I was strolling down the block this Christmas Eve and was astonished to see such a large ad for BlackBerry devices. Just thought you would enjoy seeing a BlackBerry 8300 blown up and plastered on a NYC skyscraper. [...]
