CTIA Wireless 2008 News - Sprint & Verizon Get the Curve, XM Radio for BlackBerry, Guitar Hero III for BlackBerry, Viigo Project Tango Details and More!
As predicted in our last newsletter, there has been a lot of BIG NEWS in the BlackBerry World thanks to the recent CTIA Wireless 2008 show in Las Vegas. I reported on location and was able to get a hands on look at all of the new BlackBerry devices and software applications hitting the market. If you're not up to speed, check out our Blog Post Coverage and CTIA Edition Podcast.
Friday, April 11th we are having a ONE DAY ONLY vendor sale in our ShopCrackBerry.com software store. Shape Services, makers of the popular IM+ Messenger Application are letting this best seller go for 50% off its normal price. You can pick it up for $24.95 vs. the regular $49.95. This link and the image at the top of this post will take you to the specially priced product page, but only after 6pm PST today (that's when the 1/2 price product link will become live). We'll have details up at CrackBerry.com too, so you can always visit the site and click your way through come Friday morning. Don't miss out!
Other Cool News from CrackBerry.com... we're writing a Book!! I've teamed up with the authors of the BlackBerry Made Simple How To series and we are getting ready to release CRACKBERRY: True Tales of BlackBerry Use and Abuse! We're giving readers the chance to submit their personal stories to be published in what should be a must-read among the BlackBerry-Addicted population.
