Xtreme Labs Releases Antenna Meter App for BlackBerry

July 28th, 2010 BBerryNews

Antennagate has been a public relations nightmare for Apple and in an attempt to deflect the pressure, Steve Jobs claimed the Bold 9700 has antenna issues as well. Xtreme Labs let us know that that they have made an app that might prove or disprove the claim. The Antenna Meter application auto-samples your BlackBerry’s antenna signal strength once every second. The app lets you experiment with different ‘death grips’ and submit your results if you noticed an increase or decrease in antenna reception.

Features include:

  • Numerical representation of signal strength in dBm
  • Visual representation of signal strength showing signal bars
  • Poll users to see what their experience was

“What iPhone Apps Would You Like For BlackBerry”

August 30th, 2009 BBerryNews

BlackBerry iPhone

BlackBerry Cool is running a poll asking “What iPhone Apps would you like for BlackBerry?“   My answer is simple…

Most of them!

I am sure that even a lot of die-hard iPhone and iPod Touch users would agree that a good percentage of the apps available on App Store are pure, unadulterated, crap.  The rub for BlackBerry users, however, is that at least iPhone and iPod users have the option to download a ton of these apps.

The iPhone has a ridiculous advantage over the BlackBerry when it comes application support

Regular RIMarkable readers know that I am absolutely a BlackBerry fanatic, but, I have to be honest, the iPhone has a ridiculous advantage over the BlackBerry when it comes application support.  The iPhone handles memory better, has more memory, far superior graphics support, and a much better Software Development Kit than does the BlackBerry.

To make a long story short Apple makes it easy for developers to develop for the iPhone and the bar to iPhone development is relatively low.  RIM has simply got to catch up.
