Posted by Adam Zeis on 21 Sep 2010 12:09 pm
We've seen bits and pieces of the BlackBerry Bold 9780 on video and in photos, but haven't really delved deep into the device hardware and software. Well the folks at TechnoBuffalo got their hands on a pre-release device and gave it a pretty solid look.

While waiting on any solid news up the upcoming BlackBerry tablet we've seen a few different names tossed around, of which "BlackPad "seemed to stick the most yet prove the most ridiculous. Well apparently RIM had filed for a trademark of the name "SurfBook"  in early August leading us to believe they may have...

Way back in January of 2008, word came from CES that Picasa had developed an official app for BlackBerry that promised to be more than just a launcher for the web album site. The app was rumored to make tagging and uploading your pictures from your BlackBerry's camera to your Picasa Web Album simple and quick.
