Remember this story from back in September of last year? Seems as though things are coming to a close in this case. Foxy Brown has entered a guilty plea in the assault case involving her using her BlackBerry as a weapon in an assault against a Brooklyn neighbor. What happened to 'love thy neighbor'? At any rate Brown has plead guilty to 1 misdemeanor charge of menacing. Yes, that's...
A busy week this week in the world of BlackBerry Software. It seemed like each day there were 1 or 2 new titles popping up. That's all good in my books, and with WES inching ever closer, I'd expect the software news to keep rolling in fast and furious. This week I have included the following titles: New BlackBerry Software: Texas Hold'em Poker Odds Calculator for BlackBerry, Blue Wave...
Seems as though there was confusion surrounding the BlackBerry 9000 and it's lack of 3G-ness. Code names were being thrown out, one 'Javelin' and the other of course 'Niagara'. BGR has learned that the Niagara model is the EV-DO device scheduled to hit Verizon in May of 2009. Seems like a long ways away for info leaks to be coming out about it? At any rate, here are some specs on the...
With WES fast approaching on May 13-15th, it seems as though things were a bit slow over the past week for BlackBerry Software news. Not to worry though, I've still rounded up a number of titles worthy of note. I hope you enjoy this weeks' edition! Covered this week are: BlackBerry Software Vendor News: BoxTone and Neverfail Team up for BlackBerry New BlackBerry Software: Auto...
If you are waiting for more encouraging news on the whole India/RIM situation, it looks like you're going to have to wait a little while longer. Seems as though RIM and the Canadian High Commissioner David M. Malone have sent a letter to the Indian Communication and IT Minister asking exactly who they can deal with that actually has the power to make decisions. This is not a good sign...

So lets say you're the lead press advance person in a delegation from Mexico visiting the U.S. for meetings with George Bush and his crew. You arrive well before any of your delegation or other press to arrange things and show people where to go, what to do, etc... What would you do if you noticed a bunch of BlackBerry devices sitting on a table outside a meeting room. You'd take them...
Have you ever wanted to search directions, traffic info, movies, businesses or anything else for that matter by simply speaking into your Berry? Enter Tellme from Microsoft. This cool new app will let you find what you're looking for quickly and easily. Just for fun, lets say I was looking for a health food store in my area. All I'd have to do is hit the Tellme icon on my Berry and...
A quieter week this week on the software front. Suppose we're still feeling a bit of the fallout and are coming down from the high of CTIA. All the same, there is still lots to talk about. Here's a brief overview of this weeks' roundup: New BlackBerry Software: e-Mobile Phone Alert, LaunchPad for BlackBerry, Texas Hold'em King 3, Sol Mania Updated BlackBerry Software: MobiPocket...

I've been following the whole RIM/India debacle closely, as I'm sure a lot of you have. Seems like the whole thing will be drawing to an end soon, as RIM execs and Indian intelligence agencies are scheduled to meet again April 9th. Interestingly enough, the solution RIM may use could be different than the solution used in China and Singapore. In those countries, RIM set up a proxy...
What a week. CTIA has come and gone, I'm sure Kevin is exhausted... but on we go. CTIA has brought us a new XM radio service, and Guitar Hero III... But I know we'll be hearing lots more from Kevin when he gets back to CrackBerry home base. Onward and upward, here's the Software Roundup for this week... NEW SOFTWARE Guitar Hero III For BlackBerry I reported earlier this week...
Earlier today RIM reported their fourth-quarter profits. They have more than doubled from a year ago, adding 2 million new subscribers during the quarter.

Live from the expo floor Kevin sent me a quick note about this one. Sprint and RIM have officially launched the BlackBerry 8330 to run on the Sprint Mobile Broadband Network. The device will have exclusive access to the Sprint Music Store and Sprint TV! The Sprint Music Store gives access to stereo-quality downloads instantly OTA. Choose from a library of thousands of artists in all...
Today at CTIA, RIM announced that downloads of the Facebook app for BlackBerry have surpassed the 1,000,000 mark! Wow that's a lot of downloads! The app gives Facebook lovers an easy-to-use interface to utilize Facebook on the go, no matter where they are. The userbase has grown leaps and bounds as the app was announced only a year ago at last years CTIA. 1,000,000 in one year?... Not...
Hot off the exhibition floor is this news from CTIA. Kevin just sent me a quick note from the floor, and the press release I found confirms the details. XM and QuickPlay have announced the first universally available XM Radio Mobile service for BlackBerry devices (wow, that was a mouthful!) XM (CTIA Booth #4544 if you're in Vegas) and QuickPlay Media announced that XM Radio Mobile has...
Kevin shot this over to me this morning as he was on his way out to attend the keynote at CTIA. You might have already noticed that Guitar Hero III was coming due to the cool video Kevin shot on the expo floor at CTIA (He wasn't supposed to be there, but he snuck in and shot a video anyway!) Now it's official, the press releases are coming out and word is spreading. Hands-On Mobile...
