Above is one of the photos taken, featuring what I refer to as my Future Member of...

If you even want to see how times change all you need to do is walk along a city street. Over the past seven years I’ve noticed a trend. Gone are the days of tourists using disposable and compact cameras to create lasting memories. Now smartphones are being used to capture that special moment everywhere I go. That being said, the shutterbug in all of us aims for more than just the standard...

Posted by James Richardson on 27 Apr 2013 10:29 am

EVAC for BlackBerry 10 reminds me of the old school Pac-Man game from back in the day. This one's a bit more up to date and with some extra features thrown in for good measure. Much like Pac-Man you must maneuver your character around the neon mazes collecting treats and avoiding the evil bad dudes that will peruse you. There various ways of fending off the bad guys - such as moving the...

Plants vs. Zombies returns from the dead on BlackBerry 10

After a bit of a false start, the classic strategy game Plants vs. Zombies is available for BlackBerry 10 again for $2.99. It's only out in Canada, Japan, and the U.S. for the time being, but it's safe to assume wide geographic reach shortly. Sorry, no Q10 support by the looks of it.  For those unfamiliar, Players Plants vs. Zombies puts players in the defense of their home during a zombie...

They had 2,000 units at the start and ran through their entire supply in just 90 minutes -- that's about 22 phones per minute. We do have to factor in...

Top ten typing and keyboard tips for the BlackBerry Q10

Over the years, BlackBerry has amassed a wide range of subtle optimizations that have really defined the experience, and many of them found their way to BlackBerry 10. We’re going to plow...
