According to a the second semi-annual smartphone brand loyalty survey by Crowd Science , 40% of BlackBerry users want their next smartphone to be an iPhone .  The BlackBerry may be on top when it comes smartphone market share, but, when 2 of 5 BlackBerry users want to switch to Research in Motion’s primary competition’s device, the question becomes, how long can they stay there. What is equally alarming is that the survey says that almost a third of BlackBerry users want to switch to the Google Nexus One.  I think story being told isn’t so much about BlackBerry users wanting an iPhone or a Nexus one, but, how they want something more than what the BlackBerry offers.

There has been a lot of conflicting information when it comes to the inclusion of 2-way Gmail Sync in BIS 3.o .  When BIS 3.0 was first announced it was believed that 2-way Gmail sync was going to be included in the update.  More recently, we started hearing that 2-way sync didn’t make it into 3.0 .  Now that BIS 3.o is being rolled out in EMEA, it looks like 2-way Gmail Sync isn’t a core piece of the the update, however, an official KB article in the BlackBerry Support Community Forums indicates that the Enhanced Gmail Plugin for BlackBerry will actually include 2-way Gmail Sync. Is 2-Way Gmail Sync Coming With BIS 3.0?

One of the concerns for many BlackBerry users, when it comes to a BlackBerry with a slide-out keyboard, is that the device would be just too thick to use comfortably.  BBLeaks has more pictures of the BlackBerry Slider online and in a side view comparison to the BlackBerry 8900, the BlackBerry Slider is not as thick as you might think.

If you listen to the hype machine that is Apple as well as the drones with a voice that hang on every word that comes out of the mouth of Steve Jobs, you might think that the iPhone is every other smartphone’s tail so royally, that they should just pack it up and not even try anymore. That being said, comScore just released a report for U.S.

BlackBerry Still Outpacing iPhone In Market Share Growth… iPhone 4 Can’t Come Soon Enough

In 2001, faced with a 70-100 minute commute to work each way, every single day, I figured I needed to do something to make that time worthwhile. Remembering back to an account that I was given to test the usability of Audible audiobooks on the Compaq iPaq, I renewed the account, joined the Platinum Listener Club at Audible.com and have never looked back. I was just a little bit shocked last night to see that I have 588 purchased books in my account all these years later
