Things are winding down here in Orlando for BlackBerry Live 2013 but that isn't stopping us from packing in a bit more live content. We'll be firing up the cameras shortly for some more banter, interviews and a quick final podcast before we break down the CrackBerry Live set and...

BlackBerry: The Next Great Entrepreneurs

Posted by Michelle Haag on 15 May 2013 2:16 am

As in previous BlackBerry Jam keynotes, Alec Saunders, Christopher Smith and Marty Mallick are back, but this time they aren't singing. Previously known for their hits "The Waiting", "Keep On Loving You", and "At Last", this year the guys did something a little different and put together a parody of a reality TV competition. If you aren't in Orlando right now, or if you missed the...

CrackBerry Live: Hookflash brings open-source cross-platform video chat to BlackBerry 10

Posted by Simon Sage on 15 May 2013 2:02 am

One company we bumped into at BlackBerry Live 2013 was Hookflash. Using their OpenPeer SDK, they've managed to get video chat working between BlackBerry 10 and iOS in relatively little time. Given it's still in a rough beta state, and we've seen video chat solutions on BlackBerry 10 before, what's really cool here is that the wholething is open-source. This opens the doors wide open to...

A new device, new apps, new initiatives, and a reinvigorated attitude from BlackBerry.

CrackBerry Live: Interview with the inventor of BBM, Gary Klassen!

Posted by Kevin Michaluk on 14 May 2013 7:28 pm

On the day when BlackBerry announced that BBM is going cross platform to support both iOS and Android, we had the lucky opportunity to sit down with Gary Klassen. If you're not familiar with Gary Klassen, you should read this article we posted back in 2011, where we gave Gary the CrackBerry salute for being the Inventor of BlackBerry Messenger. That's right, Gary literally wrote version 1.0...

BlackBerry Q5 photo gallery

Posted by Simon Sage on 14 May 2013 2:19 pm

We've had the quick video tour of the Q5 at BlackBerry Live 2013, but let's take a closer look in this photo gallery. We've got shots of the white, black, and red version, but unfortunately the pink one was locked away under glass for the time being. Like I said in my original hands-on, the Q5 has a very glossy finish, but that's perfect to show off the eye-popping paint jobs. The keyboard sits...
