How I'd like to see BlackBerry 10 come to the BlackBerry PlayBook

Posted by Kevin Michaluk on 6 Feb 2013 9:29 am
With all of the crazy BlackBerry 10 phone action on CrackBerry the past week, we haven't spent much time talking about BlackBerry 10 for the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet. During the official BlackBerry 10 launch event there was no mention of BlackBerry 10 for the PlayBook Of course, there has not really been much to talk about here. During the official BlackBerry 10 launch event there was no...

Why you should ALWAYS listen to what Kevin has to say

With all the BlackBerry 10 craziness the last few weeks (more so this week) it's easy to get lost in the shuffle. We've been non-stop posting all the BlackBerry 10, BlackBerry Z10 and BlackBerry Q10 stuff we can find and we won't be slowing down anytime soon -- we're all crazy excited for BlackBerry and what's in store for the coming months. Kevin and Bla1ze are on a plane back to Toronto...

Why you should change the default email signature on your tablet (especially for business use)

Posted by Kevin Michaluk on 16 Aug 2012 12:56 pm
  Yesterday morning I stirred the pot on twitter when I made the following tweet... When I get an email from someone that says "Sent from my iPad" I immediately conclude that person places little value on their time. Agree?  At face value and given my position as Fearless Leader of CrackBerry Nation, I'll admit the tweet comes off as harsh and fanboy-ish. Yes, I'm ripping at the iPad...

Is that a Samsung Galaxy S3? BlackBerry needs to make sure they don't pull a HTC

Posted by Kevin Michaluk on 10 Aug 2012 1:55 pm
The Mobile Nations World Tour continues... People keep thinking my HTC One X (right) is a Galaxy S3  The 2012 Olympic Games are coming to an end this weekend. Every spare moment I've had over the past two weeks I've turned on the tv to watch the awe-inspiring performances of some of the world's most amazing athletes. At the same time, I've also sat in front of the television in awe of Samsung...

  Throughout my 6+ years of working on CrackBerry, I have always been a stickler for doing things 100% by the book as far as BlackBerry-related vocabulary is concerned... It's BlackBerry. Not Blackberry. If you want to go plural, you have to write your sentence so you can say BlackBerry Smartphones. BlackBerrys is not technically by the book (you shouldn't modify a proper trademark), and...

It *should* mean those of you wanting a BlackBerry 10 phone with a physical keyboard won't have to wait as long relative to the release of the first full touchscreen model.  The previous thinking was that the first BlackBerry 10 phone would launch later this year (October-ish) and that we'd see RIM follow up early in 2013 with a version featuring a physical keyboard. Remember, a physical...

Why it wouldn't make sense for RIM to initially launch a BlackBerry 10 phone with a physical keyboard

Posted by Kevin Michaluk on 22 May 2012 9:26 am
We've had a hunch for a long time now that the first BlackBerry 10 phone to hit the market later this year will feature a full touchscreen design, lacking the physical keyboard that BlackBerry is traditionally known for. This was confirmed earlier this month at BlackBerry World, when we got our first preview of BlackBerry 10, running on a full touchscreen Dev Alpha device. Some media...

Why the USA *needs* a BlackBerry comeback

Welcome to CrackBerry Kevin's Mock School of Smartphone Economic Theory. Today's class... the effects of iPhone sales on the US economy. Examine the two charts above. The chart on the left plots the USA Index of Economic Freedom from 2006 to 2012. The chart on the right plots iPhone sales in the USA from 2007 to 2012. Notice how ever since the iPhone went on sale in 2007 that the US economy...

If the Porsche Designed P'9981 isn't for you, how about a Ferrari BlackBerry Bold 9700?

Posted by Michelle Haag on 14 Apr 2012 9:07 pm
Just the other week Kevin posted about his Porsche Design P'9981 BlackBerry and asked the community if RIM was to do any other partnerships with brands, who would you want to see them partner with. In the post, we showed off a hot looking Ferrari PlayBook concept. Now today in CrackBerry's forums, guess what photos showed up? That's right, a Ferrari BlackBerry, but in this case it's actually a...

Quarantine the damage; Start Building the Love. It's time to setup a BlackBerry USA division.

This is an editorial that's been in my head for a while now, and if you listened to my recent guest appearance on the Engadget Mobile Podcast you will have already heard a good chunk of it. With today being Valentine's Day and this article aimed at re-building the love for BlackBerry in the USA, the timing is right to publish it. Long story short, I think Research In Motion formally needs...
