BlackBerry Z10 vs. Samsung Galaxy S4

Posted by Bla1ze on 16 Mar 2013 11:44 am
With the Samsung Unpacked event at Radio City Music Hall in New York City all over and done with, there has been plenty of talk about the Samsung Galaxy S4 happening across all of our Mobile Nations sites. The folks over at Android Central are understandably excited, even though they had to endure the awkward keynote (You can relive it here - If you really want to do that to yourself). And...

Lame Samsung commercial tries to make inroad to enterprise by riding on magical unicorns

Posted by Kevin Michaluk on 21 Jan 2013 11:45 am
Samsung Mobile got some attention this weekend for a new commercial they're running which attacks BlackBerry in an attempt to position their Galaxy devices as enterprise friendly. The commercial is a little odd and lame. The YouTube viewer comments has for the majority been ripping the ad a new one. With BlackBerry 10 advertising sure to be ramping up soon, I guess Samsung wanted to get...

Maybe Samsung is a better model for RIM than Apple

Horace from Asymco.com published an interesting set of charts yesterday looking at how Samsung's profitability from mobile phones has now eclipsed Google's overall profitability.  Interesting, isn't it?  The guys who own Android aren't making nearly as much profit from it as the biggest hardware name in the business. Anyway, there is a lot we could discuss coming from Asymco's always-interesting...

What does the Samsung vs. Apple patent lawsuit mean to the Research In Motion?

Posted by Chris Umiastowski on 29 Aug 2012 4:43 pm
Unless you've been living under a rock, you know about the $1 billion in damages that a jury awarded to Apple, in the case of Apple versus Samsung. Simply put, Apple sued Samsung for patent infringement and won. There is always an appeals process to wait for, but as of now it looks like the courts have declared Samsung to be thieves, and Apple to be inventors. What does all this mean to...

Apple vs. Samsung - Jury finds predominantly for Apple

Posted by Bla1ze on 25 Aug 2012 1:00 am
Unless you live in a cave, you no doubt have heard about the Apple vs. Samsung case by now. Although it's far from the end the jury has reached a verdict in the U.S. with Apple now, depending on how you look at it, coming out on top. In the end, Apple was ordered to pay Samsung absolutely no damages while Samsung was ordered to pay Apple $1.05 billion. Along with Samsung found to be...

RIM stock price up 17% this week

Posted by Chris Umiastowski on 10 Aug 2012 7:37 pm
Wrapping up a week of BlackBerry stock activity fueled by rumors...    Yesterday we saw a story from Bloomberg revealing that IBM had informally expressed an interest in Research In Motion's enterprise division. The story is light on details. We don't know if there is any ongoing discussion between RIM and IBM. We have to assume that IBM is interested, or at least was interested, in the...

CrackBerry Asks: How important do you think it is that BlackBerry have a voice control app like Siri or S-Voice?

Posted by Kevin Michaluk on 18 Jun 2012 4:56 pm
How important do you think it is that BlackBerry 10 have a voice control app (like Siri or S-Voice)? A week ago, almost to the hour, Apple execs took to the stage for the WWDC keynote. Siri was the warm-up act for the show (see WWDC replay), and when it came time to talk iOS 6, Scott Forstall spent a chunk of time going over the new voice commands they built into Siri. Apple also made...

Should We Believe the RIM / Samsung Rumor and Does it Make Any Sense?

Posted by Chris Umiastowski on 16 Mar 2012 3:46 pm
RIM is trading 5% higher this morning. A blog post at Barons points to one possible reason for the bump. Apparently, Wall Street is talking about a potential investment by Samsung in RIM. There do not appear to be any legitimate reports on this, nor do their appear to be any sources willing to go on the record. Remember that Samsung has, in the past, said that it is not interested in...
