Posted by Bla1ze on 23 Feb 2013 2:00 am

Looking some new reading material? Now might be a good time to load up BlackBerry World and poke around the PixelMags powered BlackBerry Newsstand app for BlackBerry 10. After having seen a small update not too long ago, the app has now been bumped up to a quite fitting version 10.0.10.10. Oddly, no change log is listed for this release so if you happen to spot anything, give us a shout in the...

Posted by Kevin Michaluk on 22 Feb 2013 10:47 pm

As I type this I have been rocking the Z10 for almost a month. Surprisingly, I am still discovering new things about BlackBerry 10 as I put it to use in new and different ways. The latest discovery? The automatic pausing of screen sharing when confidential information is about to be shared. Earlier this evening, my mom (63 years young... who reads CrackBerry... who will be ticked when she...

Sorry, this Z10 gross margin analysis is totally out to lunch

Posted by Chris Umiastowski on 22 Feb 2013 12:35 pm

Last night I came across an article about BlackBerry published on Seeking Alpha. In case you aren't familiar with the site, it's one of the leading sites where anyone can submit investing articles. Many of the articles are of excellent quality. But some are written by people who don't understand accounting, financials, technology or other critical aspects of the topic they are writing about...

He's a cheeky fella - Pop Corny comes to BlackBerry 10

Posted by James Richardson on 22 Feb 2013 12:30 pm

You may remember Pop Corny from a while ago - we covered it when it was first launched for the BlackBerry PlayBook. I enjoyed playing it then and I still do now as it has made its way to BlackBerry 10. The game was first available on Android and iOS before the PlayBook but the developer saw the potential of the new BlackBerry platform and decided to commit. Pop Corny is the name of the...

No more bumping into people while you walk and type with TextNGo for BlackBerry 10

Posted by James Richardson on 22 Feb 2013 9:50 am

I think it's safe to say that most BlackBerry users are rather keen to send or respond to messages as soon as possible - even if walking, and that's where TextNGo may come in useful. Essentially that is what the app is designed for - to allow you to see where you are going even if typing a message on your BlackBerry 10 phone. TextNGo utilises the camera application on the BlackBerry...

Posted by James Richardson on 22 Feb 2013 5:39 am

We told you that the popular cross platform instant messaging client IM+ Pro had been released for BlackBerry 10 earlier this month.

That's now fixed so you can chat with your Skype friends around the world...

It's a double celebration - The BlackBerry Z10 launches in Singapore

Posted by James Richardson on 21 Feb 2013 9:41 am

We posted a short while ago that the BlackBerry Z10 had launched in Italy and South Africa. Time for some Singapore love now as the BlackBerry Z10 launch event has just finished and we were lucky enough to get some images live from the event. Many countries in South East Asia have a huge BlackBerry following so it makes sense to release BlackBerry 10 in these regions first. The event also...

The BlackBerry Z10 goes on sale in Italy and South Africa

Posted by James Richardson on 21 Feb 2013 8:49 am

The BlackBerry Z10 has gone on sale in yet another couple of countries in the last day or two. South Africa was first with the Z10 launching on Vodacom and then Italy followed suit where you can pick up the new BlackBerry 10 smartphone on Vodafone. Although I am not very familiar with the currency in South Africa, Vodacom do seem to be offering what may be a pretty sweet deal. If you...

BlackBerry will be setting up stands in a selection of shopping centres (malls) up and down the country in a bid to show off the wonderful new Z10 and generate some extra interest from shoppers. And who can blame them as BlackBerry 10...

The noted version shows as 4.2.1.109 with the change log simply stating improved battery life and bug fixes. As it appears now, the update isn't showing for everyone and in fact, it actually errors out on some devices leading...
