Latest patent shows off what could be a new BlackBerry 10 slider

With the BlackBerry Z10 and Q10 winning us over at full force, the next round of BlackBerry 10 devices could soon hit the rumor mill. BlackBerry Live is right around the corner and we are hoping to hear plenty more on the BB10 front.

Looking for a sweet alternative weather app for BlackBerry 10? yWeather is well worth a look.

Posted by James Richardson on 23 Apr 2013 8:28 am

I know we have a native weather application built into BlackBerry 10 and it seems to work just fine. However, I recently found yWeather in BlackBerry World and it's a real beauty. The majority of the display is taken up with the current weather conditions and included in these are some extra things we don't always see with weather apps. These include: Humidity, Pressure, Cloud, Rain, Wind,...

Costing £1.50/$1.99 (Yes, I got the price wrong in the video) many of you may be in two minds whether to part with your cash, so I'm hoping that after seeing the video it may help make the decision easier. The beauty of the...

How to upload videos directly to YouTube on BlackBerry 10

Posted by Bla1ze on 23 Apr 2013 12:10 am

Honestly, I don't take a lot of videos on my BlackBerry Z10. I'm more of a picture taking person. For those of you out there though that do take a lot of videos, there's always the issue of what to do with your videos after you've taken them. You can save them to your computer by directly pulling them off or use BlackBerry Link to sync them but of course, you then have to decide what to do...

BlackBerry Knowledge Base offers a further look at how 'promo codes' will be used in BlackBerry World

As BlackBerry Dev Alpha C devices were rolling out to developers not long ago, it was spotted in BlackBerry 10.1 that BlackBerry was exploring the idea of 'coupon codes' or promo codes as they're now described. As an example of their possible use, developers could give out special codes as part of a promotion so you can get their paid app for free or with an discount just by entering that code....

WIND Mobile opens BlackBerry Q10 pre-registration

Hey Canadians - the BlackBerry Q10 is coming soon to WIND Mobile, and they've got the pre-registration page to prove it. We had heard that WIND would be offering the Q10, though one can imagine that much like the Z10 launch, they might be a week or two. behind. That's okay though, because WIND has some pretty sweet rate plans, so long as you're willing to pay a bit more up-front for the device....

BlackBerry Q10 gets the tear down treatment

Posted by Adam Zeis on 22 Apr 2013 2:20 pm

The BlackBerry Q10 is rumored to be released in the not too distant future but already has been subjected to the usual tear down. Not much to it this time around as the innards are pretty much what you'd expect at this point. The Q10 is very similar to the Bold 9900 at the core when all is said and done. If you can stomach watching a disassembly of a shiny new pre-release Q10 then hit up the...
