Going Headless - Background app support coming soon to BlackBerry 10

It's no secret that BlackBerry 10 users are dying to have apps with the ability to run in the background. As it stands now, BlackBerry 10 apps need to be open (or in Active Frames) to perform any sort of background task. Which, as you can imagine, can be pretty annoying at times. While looking over the BlackBerry Developer Blog today, I came across this new post regarding some sessions that will...

Latest report from Bluefin supports a bullish stance on BlackBerry

So far this week we’ve seen some negative comments out of the usual bearish Wall Street analysts.  If you follow the stock, you know who these guys are. They tend to avoid any kind of balanced analysis, always hammering on whatever negative points they can find. Wall Street analysts are not typically experts on how to gather supply chain data, nor are they experts in how to measure sell through...

Give your messaging needs a boost with Hub++ for BlackBerry 10

Posted by DJ Reyes on 7 May 2013 4:39 pm

Back when I was using BlackBerry legacy devices, I was a huge advocate of the app Email++. It allowed me to configure some email accounts with a pop-up so I could essentially read the email or at least get a preview of the message from the pop-up. It made things a lot easier when important emails came through. The developers of the popular Email++ app are back with the same kind of thing for...

Comparing cloud services on the BlackBerry Q10

Posted by Simon Sage on 7 May 2013 12:49 pm

We’ve gone through Dropbox’s integration on BlackBerry 10 and touched on the Box preload in our Z10 review, and poked around at third party apps like PlayCloud that provide access to SkyDrive, Google Drive, and SugarSync. What we haven’t done is pit them all against one another and see how they run on the recently-launched BlackBerry Q10.  Cloud services are now an integral part of...

Jens-Peter had the Z10 shipped to an authorized service provider where it was totally disassembled in an ESD environment. He wasn't 100% happy with the final results as the volume keys, speakerphone and a few internal...
