Will Q10 demand drive a huge turnaround in BlackBerry’s financial results?

Posted by Chris Umiastowski on 6 May 2013 1:02 pm
Will Q10 demand drive a huge turnaround in BlackBerry’s financial results?

Last quarter, with only one month worth of Z10 shipments, BlackBerry shipped one million devices running the new BlackBerry 10 platform and posted better than expected results - particularly gross margin.  Now that the Q10 has hit a few markets, could things get even better? Could BlackBerry return to a level of profitability worth of Wall Street respect in the next couple of quarters? I suspect...

Avoid additional carrier bills with DataCheck Pro for BlackBerry 10

Posted by James Richardson on 6 May 2013 3:41 am

DataCheck Pro is probably one of the most simple apps available for BlackBerry 10 - yet possibly one of the most useful. Around the world the amount of data that BlackBerry users get with their carriers varies a lot. Here in the UK it is quite common for networks to offer 750mb per month, which for me certainly wouldn't be enough. That's where DataCheck Pro comes in handy. The application...

Vining for attention

Vining for attention

I confess. I like Vine. I used it yesterday for the first time and have been having some fun the past 24 hours making my own Vine creations (yes, I've been walking around the past 24 hours with 3 phones in my pocket... Z10 / Q10 / iPhone 5). You can check out my first Vine attempts below. The roof top one is pretty epic. *Note - It appears embedded Vines don't seem to play too nice on the CB10...

Get your cowboy boots and hats ready for the gunslinging RPG Six Guns

Posted by DJ Reyes on 5 May 2013 2:11 pm

We recently saw the popular western RPG, Six Guns land on BlackBerry 10 and it wouldn't be CrackBerry if we didn't bring you a video demo of the game play. I don't often play RPG games but the free game from Gameloft was too awesome to pass up. There are many missions to keep you busy, ranging in difficulty and occasionally encounter some supernatural enemies. You collect coins and stars...

BlackBerry R10 spotted in black, coupled with some rumored specs

Right then, here we go again. After having saw the device leak out in white, then red we now have a more visually pleasing black version to look at. Yes, the BlackBerry R10 as its known, has popped up once again and this time it has some specs to go along with it. They're certainly not on the same level as the BlackBerry Q10 or the BlackBerry Z10 but that's been pretty much known for a while now...

Here's one for you cooking fans - Chef's Recipe Box for BlackBerry 10

Posted by James Richardson on 4 May 2013 11:10 am

We've seen a few cooking applications arrive for BlackBerry 10 and I recently stumbled upon Chef's Recipe Box which is quite a beauty. The application is a native BlackBerry one, which always pleases me. Not that there is anything wrong with the Android ports - but I just prefer native. The UI of the app is kept pretty plain and simple with black writing on a white background but the...

Asset Selector: Designing for the Z and Q [Weekend Coder]

Asset Selector: Designing for the Z and Q [Weekend Coder]

As we can all plainly see, the BlackBerry Z10 and Q10 have different screen sizes and aspect ratios. This is obviously because the Q10 has the full QWERTY. More often than not this presents a challenge for app developers. Luckily when coding in Cascades it is easy to code for both aspect ratios using the asset selector. Before jumping into the asset it should be noted that Cascades will try to...

BlackBerry Q10 Buyer's Guide - Canadian edition

The BlackBerry Q10 is now in stores across Canada, and we’ve cracked open boxes from Rogers, Bell, and TELUS. The device doesn’t change much from carrier to carrier (unless a white paint job is a big deal to you), but what really matters here is the service and how much it costs. We’ve broken down what you’ll be looking at when buying a Q10 in the UK, so let’s do the same for Canada. First off:...
