Free BB App: face2face Combines LinkedIn, Facebook, And MySpace Into A Single BlackBerry App

programmer — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 06:19:56 +0000

I just installed face2face , a cross platform, location aware, social networking client from Promimate Global that combines Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter networks into a single client as well as ads consolidated chat between face2face users, on my BlackBerry, and, although I’ve only played around with it for about 5 minutes, it seems to be a pretty slick app thus far. face2face is a location-aware smartphone app that solves the problems of privacy and safety that have become synonymous with social networking – so that more people can benefit from the advantages that come from knowing which friends are nearby. I probably won’t enable any of the location aware aspects of face2face, and I will probably keep using a dedicated Twitter client on my device, however, face2face could be a candidate to replace Facebook for BlackBerry and LinkedIn for BlackBerry. I can’t say for sure just yet, however, I am impressed with speed and the interface of the app and if it allows me to effectively git rid of Facebook which is slow, and replace LinkedIn which is large, face2face, my find a permanent home on my BlackBerry Storm 9530 which is memory starved

Epidsode #28 of the Simple Mobile Review Podcast is up. Regular subscribers may have noticed that we’ve changed the day that the show is recorded and aired. At least for the rest of the summer, the SMR Podcast will be recorded on Sunday nights as compared to Wednesday. In this episode, as you can imagine, we talk a lot about Apple’s press event last Friday , Antenna Gate , as Steve Jobs referred to it. Let’s just say that Mr

What Will Apple Say In Their Press Conference Today?

ryan — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 08:55:33 +0000

I know that this is a BlackBerry site, but, Apple is holding a pretty important press conference today, presumably about the iPhone 4 antenna issues many users have been complaining about. I am guessing that Apple will fall short of issuing an iPhone 4 recall, however, will probably offer some type of cheap bumper case that prohibits physical contact with the antenna

Opinion: Android Devices With Good Phyiscal Keyboards Pose A Bigger Threat To The BlackBerry Than The iPhone Ever Has

ACDigital — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 11:20:24 +0000

I was having a conversation with a few friends recently all of whom know that I am really into smartphones, the BlackBerry in particular. One of them had just gotten a new iPhone 4 and was trying to convince the rest of us, all BlackBerry users, that the iPhone 4 was going to crush the BlackBerry and put RIM out of business. Being the smart Alec that I am I asked if he was using the term “crushed” loosely like when he said the iPhone would crush the BlackBerry, the iPhone 3G would crush the BlackBerry, and the iPhone 3Gs would crush the BlackBerry.

Bloomberg: iPhone Coming To Verizon In January

ryan — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 14:20:08 +0000

According to two (unnamed) people said to be familiar with the plans, the iPhone, currently exclusive to AT&T in the United States, will become available to Verizon subscribers starting in January of next year. This isn’t the first time that we’ve heard this rumor. It is, however, the first time that we’ve heard it from a news organization as big as Bloomberg . The question for me was never one of “if” the iPhone would come to Verizon, but, more of “when” would the iPhone come to Verizon. The big questions that I have now are: How will Verizon’s network stand up?

Will Flash Be An Optional Feature In The New BlackBerry 6 Browser

Loy — Wed, 26 May 2010 13:45:37 +0000

Say what you want about Research in Motion, but, you have to give them credit when it comes to providing users with options. In an iPhone world, Apple provides you with features and you either learn to like them or buy another product. That being said, I hope that Flash in the upcoming BlackBerry 6 browser will allow users to enable or disable the loading of Flash content. When I think of RIM’s focus on security as they design devices it would lead you to believe Flash will not only be an optional feature but off by default

Simple Mobile Review Podcast #19: Excuses Never Explain

ryan — Thu, 13 May 2010 05:05:52 +0000

Can you believe that we’ve recorded our 19th episode of the Simple Mobile Review Podcast ? This week we talk a lot about Google and Android. Is the Nexus One direct model working? Facebook to launch location based check-in services. How will this affect Foursquare and Gowalla. Android overtakes the iPhone for number two smartphone OS. Apple rationalizes why this isn’t the case.

Dropbox , a really cool cloud based file hosting and sharing application will soon be available on the BlackBerry. If you aren’t familiar with Dropbox, they have a video that explains on over on the Dropbox website , however, to make a short story a little longer, Dropbox is essentially a virtual folder that automatically syncs files dropped into it across multiple computers. We don’t have a specific release date for when Dropbox for BlackBerry will become available but you can currently set up Dropbox on your Windows, Mac, or Linux computers, as well as the iPhone, iPad, and Android devices.

Is RIM CEO, Mike Lazaridis, Aware That Smartphones Other Than BlackBerry Devices Do Quite Well?

ryan — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 05:44:21 +0000

I was reading an interview of Research in Motion CEO, Mike Lazaridis, and one of the things he said that I found very interesting was “ it is far from certain that video will become the “killer app” that defines smartphones”. I’ve go to ask the question..
