He said they wouldn&#39;t proactively offer me the upgrade but if I called in they might do that.</p> <p>Then I said it was because the new BB 10 phones were coming out. He said ya they loook really good but they are very far behind and prob not a good idea to go with Blackberry again...</p> <p>I sure as hell hope RIM knows they have these problems.

Do you see a lot of high quality Android apps in App World?</p> <p>We&#39;ve had some good games come but when I spend sometime with the iPhone I noticed some very useful Apps like the OED (dictionary) that seemed to be totally on the iPhone (not accessed via web).</p> <p>Are these things there?</p> <p>Really just curious and also want to set my expectations correctly. if OS 2 is pretty comparable to iPhone we can hope that BB10 will allow RIM to focus on unique things rather than catch up things (not a negative comment, I&#39;m just really curious).</p> <p>Thanks </p> http://www.berryreview.com/forums/topic/can-anyone-recommend-a-good-itunes-movie-converterh#post-24937 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 19:04:32 +0000 BBA Brian 24937@http://www.berryreview.com/forums/ <p>Sup everyone,</p> <p>Can anyone recommend a good converter program to convert itunes drm video files to be able play on playbook? </p> http://www.berryreview.com/forums/topic/9900-users-on-att-what-os-release-are-you-using#post-24879 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 14:59:44 +0000 DanielH 24879@http://www.berryreview.com/forums/ <p>I heard OS7.1 has wifi hotspot capability and would love to try it out so I am interested in hearing what OS release people are on before upgrading myself.

They are interpreting this a technical glitch (can&#39;t have same messages go to two PINS).</p> <p>I think this is garbage. Isn&#39;t it more likely the case that RIM collects $5 from every data plan for use of it&#39;s netowrk and for this reason putting BBM free on the playbook is undesirable. RIM want you to buy a blackberry with a data plan to get BBM.</p> <p>There may be some technical issues, but does RIM really have an incentive to solve them??? </p> http://www.berryreview.com/forums/topic/what-are-the-good-apps-i-dont-have-not-many#post-24893 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 22:18:05 +0000 kiddo2050 24893@http://www.berryreview.com/forums/ <p>Just saw a sprint commercial full of floating iPhone Apps.

With the news of Quad core in the iPad 3 and the SGS III, I wondered to myself....what percent of laptops have quad core.</p> <p>I googled</p> <p>Found this dated in July 2011 from a site</p> <p>&quot;It looks like laptops are set to get even faster, with almost half of all laptops shipped in 2015 expected to incorporate quad-core processors. This prediction was made by IHS iSuppli analysts in a new report dated July 12, which says that 160 million laptops, or 49 percent of laptops shipped in 2015, will incorporate quad-core processors--up from just 9 percent this year. Six-core chips are expected to make inroads too, rising from none, currently, to 18 percent of laptops in 2015.</p> <p>In a statement reported on eWeek, Matthew Wilkins, principal analyst of compute platforms for IHS iSuppli said, &quot;The cornerstone of PC performance, the microprocessor, is continuing to evolve to provide new levels of performance to the PC market...The battle now has moved from the dual-core segment into the quad-core area--and next will spread to the six-core realm.&quot;</p> <p>For now, laptop vendors are expected to continue improving existing laptops in order to achieve all-day mobile computing. One of the ways this may be done is to integrate the chip responsible for graphics processing, known as the GPU, into the same piece of silicon as the CPU in order to reduce power consumption. Another would be the use of an external battery. For example, the battery life of Sony&#39;s new VAIO Z laptop can be expanded from its default 6.5 hours to 13 hours with the use of an optional battery &quot;slice.&quot;&quot;</p> <p>Did you all read that... ONLY half of all laptops will have quad core by 2015!!! 2015!!</p> <p>I reiterate. The public clearly doesn&#39;t care about having quad core over dual core in their laptops. They won&#39;t care about quad core in their Superphone.</p> <p>Its just facts folks. They will not care.</p> <p>So stop pissing and moaning about BB10 devices having &quot;only&quot; dual core. </p> http://www.berryreview.com/forums/topic/grass-isnt-always-greener#post-24666 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 11:41:23 +0000 kiddo2050 24666@http://www.berryreview.com/forums/ <p>Somtimes when I&#39;m on Crackberry I click on WP Central stuff. Here is something posted over there and it made me think. Somtimes when we have only a Blackberry and we hear all the crap we tend to think that only blackberries have issues. This post shows, no, that&#39;s not the case. I recall when I had the iPhone I hated it, so I shouldn&#39;t be surprised but nice to read this stuff once in a wihle (and as I posted before #iPhonefail on twitter). The folowing is a post about Android:</p> <p>The other day @BenThePCGuy (a.k.a. Ben Rudolph) sought out to ease the pain smartphone users suffering from &quot;DroidRage&quot; after what appeared to be a massive adware outbreak on the Android Marketplace. He asked those afflicted to share their stories via Twitter. Ben would then pick the best (or worst) stories to receive a free Windows Phone.</p> <p>The contest netted nearly a thousand responses. The lucky twenty will soon be receiving a free Windows Phone to help ease their frustrations. Here is a sampling of the winning submissions.<br /> • &quot;I REALLY wish my Galaxy Nexus would stop rebooting while I&#39;m on the phone.&quot;<br /> • &quot;Android crashes even when i (try) unlock the screen..i bought it only because other phones was too expensive for me!&quot;<br /> • &quot;Battery issues, freezing, worried about malware, viruses... my DroidX gives me more trouble than my 2 teenage kids!&quot;<br /> • &quot;4 phones in 3 months. 3 hard resets in 6 months. I am dying alive from DROIDRAGE &amp; cannot wait for my new windowsphone!&quot;</p> <p>You can see all the twenty winners of new Windows Phones by hitting the source link below. This is the second of such promotions (Ben did the same thing back in December) and there&#39;s not telling when the third such promotion will take place. </p> http://www.berryreview.com/forums/topic/just-wanted-to-bring-up-bgrfor-just-a-second#post-24659 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 09:44:48 +0000 BBA Brian 24659@http://www.berryreview.com/forums/ <p>I wanted to point out the utter hilarity that is ensuing at BGR right now with the removal of the comments.</p> <p>BGR had evolved into a parody of fake posters that at first was funny but had grown into something sad.</p> <p>I think its a solid statement about the integrity of BGR that they had to resort to this.</p> <p>lol BGR... lol </p>
