Oh, RIM. Pity the once-might conquerors of the corporate smartphone world, for they have been reduced to petty sniping while trying to emulate that which they hate. In its latest fit of corporate chest-thumping, the BlackBerry manufacturer has shouted to its European developer conference that apps on the BlackBerry App World are more profitable than their Android counterparts. Citing [...]
Remember those reports from last month that showed Apple beating out Android in the latter half of 2011? The ones that half the internet jumped on as proof that Android was “falling behind”? Yeah, not so much. Despite a massive rise in iPhone sales in the fourth quarter, Android is still way out in front [...]
Are you an Android developer? Do you collect obsolete and failed pieces of technology in a museum of electronic sadness?

The Canadian BlackBerry manufacturer wants to build buzz around the [...]
Got a BlackBerry Playbook? If the ales figures are anything to go by, probably not – but hey, maybe you’ve got a friend or a boss who was brought low by a Staples salesman. If that’s the case, be sure and tell him or her that the handful of apps huddling together for warmth in [...]

IntoMobile reports that the latest rage amongst Playbook modders is rooting via a tool called Dingleberry (no comments form the peanut gallery, please). It turns out that [...]
RIM is having a tough time right now. They’re being squeezed from the top with iOS and from the bottom (well, bottom, top, sides and everywhere else) with Android. But the BlackBerry hardware is only part of RIM’s overall business, and they’re making a major effort to expand even more into the corporate services space. [...]
Forget red and blue states. Mobile advertising firm Jumptap has a lovely infographic that shows us the majority we really care about here, most dominant smartphone OS of course. The chart highlights each state showing whether Android, iOS, or Blackberry is the most dominant (or if there’s a tie).
Welcome to our official Facebook Phone review – at least that’s what they’ll have you believe if you’re in the AT&T store. What I’d bill this phone as is the greatest little keyboard in the West that just so happens to have a Facebook button below it and a display that’s just a little bit [...]
