Essentially RIM, RBC, & Thomson Reuters promised to inject $150 million dollars of venture capital into mobile application & service development.

Bplay rarely does discounts so I thought this is worth mention. The 30% off is valid off their entire line in their store including games, themes, & ringtones. You just need to enter in the code JULY30 to get the discount.
Check it out at www.bplay.com
