Our sibling site TiPb.com is now iMore - go there for everything iPhone, iPad and more!

Posted by Kevin Michaluk on 5 Jan 2012 5:40 pm

There's a quote in the book The Alchemist that I like which says "What happens once will never happen again. But what happens twice will surely happen a third time." In the case of CrackBerry's iOS-related sister site, we're now onto round number 4. The site originally launched as PhoneDifferent.com in April 2007, just a few months after CrackBerry.com went live. That name was based on...

Hey RIM, Malcolm Gladwell says bronze is the new gold!

Posted by Ryan Blundell on 25 Jun 2011 8:47 pm

Last Monday, at the annual Cannes Film festival, Canadian-born author Malcolm Gladwell made a statement in regards to the business world; in so many words getting the bronze is worth more than getting the gold. What that means is that it’s not always who does it first, it’s who does it best. More often than not the ‘late-starter’ ends up being more successful. I guess you could say it’s a...

Posted by Kevin Michaluk on 8 Jun 2011 8:36 pm

We had so much fun recording our last podcast -- episode SIXTY NINE -- that for our 70th show we decided to do the math and call it 69 + 1. We hope you enjoy it. While we cover a lot of topics in this show, including the latest PlayBook OS update and Apple's iOS 5 news this week, the theme that kept coming up among Adam, Bla1ze, Craig and myself was how much we want our BlackBerry Bold 9900s...

CrackBerry Poll: Steve Jobs says 7" is too small... for a tablet. What do you think?

Posted by Kevin Michaluk on 19 Oct 2010 12:19 pm

Steve Jobs says 7" is too small...for a tablet. What do you think?Market Research Seriously. I probably own more Apple products than the average hardcore Apple fanboy, and despite being BlackBerry addict #1 still have a lot of respect for Apple and Steve Jobs. That dude is smart. But at the same time, I'm starting to think he's getting a little crotchety in his old age. Between...

With the internet still buzzing over the whole iPhone 4 Antennagate debacle, Xtreme Labs has teamed up with the folks from Fixmo Tools to help create Antenna Meter. The application itself is pretty straightforward. It allows you to test out different "death grip" scenarios and visually measure what, exactly is going on with the device while doing so. Does your signal drop? If so, by how much?...

Official statement from Research In Motion in response to Apple's iPhone 4 Antennagate propaganda!

Posted by Kevin Michaluk on 16 Jul 2010 11:27 pm

I hoped this was coming. Here it is. A joint statement from RIM Co-CEOs in response to misleading comments from Apple made Friday by Steve Jobs at the iPhone 4 press conference: "Apple's attempt to draw RIM into Apple's self-made debacle is unacceptable. Apple's claims about RIM products appear to be deliberate attempts to distort the public's understanding of an antenna design issue and...
