What Will Apple Say In Their Press Conference Today?

July 16th, 2010 BBerryNews

iPhone 4

I know that this is a BlackBerry site, but, Apple is holding a pretty important press conference today, presumably about the iPhone 4 antenna issues many users have been complaining about.

I am guessing that Apple will fall short of issuing an iPhone 4 recall, however, will probably offer some type of cheap bumper case that prohibits physical contact with the antenna.

Here are some of the thoughts of a few of my pals over on SMR and I would love to hear what you think Apple will say here in the comments.

RIM Tried To Buy Palm — “Had To Work Incredibly Hard To Blow It”

July 16th, 2010 BBerryNews

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, a source close to the negotiations said that Apple, Google, and Research in Motion all tried to acquire Palm.

The source stated that RIM pretty much had the deal in its hands, however, “had to work incredibly hard to blow it”.

BerryReview.com puts it best when they say that, even though RIM failed at buying Palm, they could learn a thing or two…  “Don’t hang onto a legacy OS so long that even a complete overhaul can’t save you…“

GetJar Names Kayak Travel App For Mobile The Best BlackBerry App Of 2010

July 16th, 2010 BBerryNews

Kayak Travel App for Mobile

GetJar, the second biggest app store in the world, held their Gettie Awards 2010 event a few nights ago where they announce their picks for the best mobile applications of the year across multiple platforms.  In the the BlackBerry category, Kayak Travel App for Mobile took home the top spot.

I have to admit, that I don’t believe I’ve ever heard of the Kayak BlackBerry application but it is appears to be a mobile client that integrates with back end of the the Kayak.com travel which I have actually heard a lot of good things about.

Kayak Travel App for Mobile is a free BlackBerry application so it is probably definitely worth taking a look at, especially if you are looking for great deals on airfare and hotels.
