Instagram still not "officially" available on BlackBerry 10; here's our first car winner and we're giving away a second!

Apps, Apps, Apps! Going into BlackBerry Live last week, one of the things I think everybody in the CrackBerry community was hoping to see was the announcement of more BIG name apps coming onto the BlackBerry 10 platform.  Leading up to the show and with the launch of OS 10.1, we now have Skype on BB10. For me, that's the most important of the big three apps -- Skype, Instagram, Netflix -- that...

Get the BlackBerry Z10 in India and pay monthly

Back in February this year we announced that the BlackBerry Z10 was available to buy in India but it came with a hefty price tag, which judging by the comments didn't go down too well. Due to the nature of the phone market in India payment is required up front for smartphones and the Z10 was retailing at Rs 43,490. Things have now developed and new EMI Schemes have been introduced which will...

Neil Gaiman's amazing A Calendar of Tales now available

In February of 2013, Neil Gaiman teamed up with BlackBerry for his Keep Moving Project. It was a rather ambitious idea, to combine fan submitted story ideas and art work with Neil's unique story telling abilities into what he titled A Calendar of Tales. Over the course of a few weeks, Neil took to Twitter, asking his followers questions such as “What’s your happiest memory of April?” and "Tell...

Gear up your BlackBerry for the Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix

The BlackBerry-sponsored Mercedes AMG Petronas team will be hitting the pavement in Monte Carlo for the Monaco Grand Prix on Sunday. I've never been a big fan of F1 before, but of course now that BlackBerry is sponsoring a team, how could I avoid it? Also, the Monaco Grand Prix will be the first time an F1 race is broadcast live on network TV here in the US (NBC). I'll be up bright and early on...

Calling the CrackBerry Community: We want to feature YOUR awesome photos in our articles!

Calling the CrackBerry Community: We want to feature YOUR awesome photos in our articles!

One of the things we realized while designing the new CrackBerry is that the site really looks best when we include real people in the "hero" photos that accompany articles. Given the site's clean look and high quality of design, putting real people into the photos gives it an extra touch of life that makes it even more compelling and engaging. This is especially true when you visit the...

BlackBerry Dev Alpha devices will stay up and running after all

When the BlackBerry Dev Alpha devices were given out, developers were told that at some point the devices would be deactivated and essentially rendered useless (or bricked in geek terms). With plenty of developers eligible to trade in their Dev Alpha for a limited edition BlackBerry Z10 however, this didn't seem like such a big deal. For anyone that hasn't received a BlackBerry Z10 or just wants...

Going cross platform could skyrocket the number of BBM Money users

While reading through BlackBerry-related news yesterday, I saw a post that our friend Ronen published on BerryReview pertaining to BBM Money. Here’s whats new: In the first 90 days since launching BBM Money in Indonesia, the service has in excess of 60,000 users registered.  It’s not exactly a huge number, but apparently the target is to grow this user base to 200,000 by the end of the current...

Mireo navigation and it's free trial updated for BlackBerry Q10 support

A while back we told you about the Mireo voice guided satellite application and the fact that it comes with a free seven day trial. The developer dropped me an email to let us know that BlackBerry Q10 owners can now take advantage of the app and with it's free trial there is no reason not too. Of course, we already have the native BlackBerry Maps app which does a decent job, but if you jump...

How about a Porsche Design BlackBerry Q10?

How about a Porsche Design BlackBerry Q10?

The Porsche Design P'9981 was a pretty interesting device but it's now a little bit outdated even with it having arrived in gold. Arguably, it was outdated at the time of release but that didn't matter to a lot of folks. Personally, I wanted one but I couldn't justify the cost for what essentially broke down to a dressed up BlackBerry Bold 9900. A Porsche Design BlackBerry Q10 though, that's...

Hell hath no fury like a BlackBerry/Netflix user scorned

Just in case you haven't noticed, BlackBerry users can be very passionate individuals. Especially those who hang out in the CrackBerry forums. Along with that passion, they're also very vocal, and when word came down that Netflix CEO Reed Hastings had never even used a BlackBerry 10 device but had zero interest in making Netflix for BlackBerry 10, the CrackBerry forums sort of blew up, and...

Casetop KickStarter project shows one vision of mobile computing

Posted by Bla1ze on 22 May 2013 4:59 pm

In fact, BlackBerry already has a patent for it all ready to go should BlackBerry CEO, Thorsten Heins, decide to make use of it. Those rumors aren't going away, they're only getting stronger as talks of mobile computing come up more and more often....
