Posted by James Richardson on 13 Jun 2013 10:46 am
BlackBerry have come true to their word and released the BlackBerry 10.2 SDK for developers.

Apple swipes a thing or two from BlackBerry

Posted by Adam Zeis on 10 Jun 2013 5:56 pm
Apple today in its WWDC keynote address unveiled its most magical, its most revolutionary -- and its most thieving version of iOS yet. It's a pretty big overhaul that includes a new look, new icons and some familiar new features. And we couldn't help but notice just how similar some of those features are to what we've already seen on current BlackBerry devices. Over the years we have seen...

With 60 million BBM users currently, things are going to grow massively once BBM rolls out to iOS and Android - which means BBM Channels is going to go the same way. The...

The QNX Bentley has just taken to the stage at BlackBerry Live and the whole OS is actually running BlackBerry 10. A perfect demo of this was the car receiving a BBM video call from Vivek - clearly this doesn't work while driving! The car software is actually built into the BlackBerry Hub on your smartphone so if the Bentley gets a software update this would show up as a notification in the...

Posted by James Richardson on 12 May 2013 12:27 pm

In the CrackBerry forums one user has stated that there is maintenance happening which will be resolved in a few hours - however we are not currently able to confirm this. For us BlackBerry users...
