Better late than never! This week's From the Editor's Desk is coming at you via video. Hit play to watch it above. And yes, I know, the hair is getting lonnnng. Hurry up RIM and get BlackBerry 10 to market! I'm pretty stoked I'll have some new hardware to review shortly. The 4G LTE PlayBook got announced and will be available in Canada this week. I'll do up an unboxing video the...
If drinking coffee were an Olympic relay event, the Mobile Nations EiC team would win Gold! In last week's From the Editor's Desk post I gave the heads up that I would be busy this week hosting the EiCs of our other Mobile Nations sites. Making the trip into Winnipeg for our EiC Summit were Phil Nickinson of Android Central, Rene Ritchie of iMore and Daniel Rubino of Windows Phone...
We're talking animals in this week's From the Editor's Desk. Unicorns and Jaguars. You can blame my dear pal and fellow Editor in Chief of our sibling site Android Central, Phil Nickinson, for the photoshop job above. Yes, that's me... riding a unicorn... with a HTC One X strapped to my head via a GoJo. Creepy. While the unicorn doesn't have a name yet, the jaguar we're going to...
A week ago today I delivered my From the Editor's Desk post from in front of the often-photographed RIM sign in Waterloo. Between attending the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders and dropping by BlackBerry HQ, it was an insanely busy couple of days. If you haven't checked out my interviews with RIM CEO Thorsten Heins and CMO Frank Boulben yet, you'll want to do that asap. I still...
Hello CrackBerry Nation! This one is coming at you from my hotel room at the Waterloo Inn in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada... the birth place and hometown of BlackBerry! I decided last week I'd make the trek again this year for Research In Motion's Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, so here I am. Check out the video above for a quick welcome (the future of BlackBerry 10 is so bright...
Time is tight for me today as I'm off to San Francisco tomorrow for the week and have a million things to get done, so I'll go Phil style on this one with a list of what's shaking in the world of CrackBerry, Mobile and my life. Let's start with the photo above... Top Left: There's nothing sexier than a hot girl with pretty hands pounding out a BBM on a white Bold 9900! I spotted...
Yes, I'm using an Android phone for the month of June as part of the Mobile Nations World Tour, so don't act all surprised if you see me tweet from an Android client. Happy Father's Day to all the CrackBerry dads out there!! I have to give a special shout out to my pops who I didn't get a chance to see today (I ran in a half marathon and couldn't make the trip out of the city). He...
Hair Strike! It's true, I'm growing out my hair until BlackBerry 10 is released. Hurry RIM! So my plan was to write this post yesterday, but it turned out to be a Sunday of sports instead. I kicked off the morning with 13.5 mile jog (running the half in the Manitoba Marathon next Sunday), then took in the Italy - Spain matchup (EURO2012), then it was Formula 1 time with the Canadian...
This week I'm combining our regularly scheduled From the Editor's Desk with our weekly BBDoodle. The idea for this one came from CrackBerry member Perjade who left the following comment to the site after listening to CrackBerry Podcast 086: This site is more and more turning into some kind of religious sect. We have the worshipable objects in the forms of the Bold 9900, the...
Be sure to read the full article to see some fun photos from other things I found buried in my office Apologies on my delay in getting up this week's From the Editor's Desk. I did spend my weekend at the office, but instead of writing I was cleaning it. I've been living and/or working out of the same home office setup for 12 years. I'm one of those people who's quick to buy things...
