Quarantine the damage; Start Building the Love. It's time to setup a BlackBerry USA division.

Posted by Kevin Michaluk on 14 Feb 2012 5:26 pm
This is an editorial that's been in my head for a while now, and if you listened to my recent guest appearance on the Engadget Mobile Podcast you will have already heard a good chunk of it. With today being Valentine's Day and this article aimed at re-building the love for BlackBerry in the USA, the timing is right to publish it.

How I use my BlackBerry to get in better physical shape

Posted by Jared DiPane on 13 Feb 2012 4:50 pm
It's Health & Fitness Month at Mobile Nations!

After starting to improve on my eating habits I knew that I needed to get myself back into better shape physically as well. Getting back into cardio activities is a...

Halliburton and NOAA say "Goodbye to BlackBerry." Can RIM Maintain its Strength in the Enterprise?

Posted by Chris Umiastowski on 13 Feb 2012 10:25 am
In the last week we've seen two significant stories that further suggest RIM is losing what was once its iron-clad grip on corporate IT departments.

Posted by Chris Umiastowski on 9 Feb 2012 8:07 pm
Earlier this week, as I was doing my usual reading of mobile industry news, I came across this article from PaidContent.org, talking about how much traffic on the Internet comes from mobile devices. It turns out that, according to StatCounter, mobile devices are responsible for 8.5% of all website visits as of January 2012. The PaidContent article opens by basically saying that mobile...

Full Disclosure: I've just doubled my investment (tripled my shares) in Research In Motion stock

Posted by Kevin Michaluk on 8 Feb 2012 11:22 am
