Ubertwitter hits the 1.0s!

Posted on by

Now, this has been around for a while, but to my surprise there was no news on it!  That’s right ladies and gents, the best public Twitter application has graduated from the 0.xxx’s to the 1.xxx’s!  This may not seem like a huge step, but this really shows how much the team over at Übertwitter is dedicated to the best possible community experience.

Let us know if you’re an Übertwitter acolyte, like myself!  Also, let us know of your own personal story of watching this application grow!

CNBC Pro unleashed onto BlackBerry smartphones

Posted on by

Not many BlackBerry applications give you up to the minute stock information and breaking news while it happens.  CNBC aims to change that with their news CNBC Pro application.  This application delivers a laundry list of features for the business minded BlackBerry user, providing you with all the stock market’s ups and downs and the news that you want to see.

We all know BlackBerry to desktop synchronization has always been shoddy at best.  However, the new CNBC Pro application allows you to sync the setting from desktop to BlackBerry and vice versa.  CNBC Pro will allow you to sync only the information you want (or need to those of you who work in investments) and keep the other crap off of you phone.  Of course, you can expect nothing but the best with the $269.99 a year price tag (or $24.99 a month, if you so choose).

For the low-down on the CNBC Pro application, visit here.

BGR goes hands on with BlackBerry Playbook

Posted on by

As if we weren’t already slobbering with excitement over this lovely device, this video has definitely heightened the expectations that many of us share.  Check out the video below for more.  Under said video there will be a little overview of the various features, just in case you’re at your work computer slacking off with us!

One of the coolest features of the Playbook is definitely all the swipe gestures that are integrated into the system.  This could potentially create an extremely user friendly environment for both techies (like myself) as well as the technologically impaired.  The screen of the Playbook is drop dead gorgeous, even by the standards of being viewed through the lens of a camera.  The interface was snappy and I noticed very little lag.  Several misplaced touches occurred, but that was purely operator error and was in no way the Playbooks fault.

After seeing the video above, please let us know if this device lives up to your expectations!  Also, feel free to include a wishlist of things you’d like to see included in the device before it hits stores.

Storm 3 on its way, shows up in Best Buy Mobile’s Genie system.

Posted on by

While this isn’t the biggest thing in the world, it’s a dinosaur bone for those pups eagerly awaiting that *ahem* GORGEOUS device that we’ve seen in pictures up to this point.  The foreshadowing of events that often comes in the Genie system has yet to fail us, and today I cannot say I’m satisfied any less.  The Storm 3 has shown up in said system, pointing to the fact that we can expect to see the Storm 3 soon.  If all goes well, it may even show up before the holiday season!

While the Storm 3 hasn’t been officially announced, and little is known about it, the pictures have put it on a pedestal for me.  According to several reliable sources, we can almost surely expect the QNX operating system on the device.  This, above all, excites me.  We can only hope that this phone is as awesome as it looks, because RIM needs a lifeline.  If nothing else, we need a phone that makes Taylor drop his sushi addiction to save up some money for it.

TAT: More pretty for your BlackBerry

Ahoy, fellow BlackBerry fanboys! Yesterday we missed a bit of big news for RIM. RIM has just acquired The Astonishing Tribe (TAT), a company with the potential to revolutionize the BlackBerry UI. With TAT on the team, it is becoming more and more obvious that RIM does not take the future lightly and is in the smartphone game for the long haul. With a WebKit browser, courtesy of Torch Mobile and a promising new team (who probably worked on the Tab) improving how we interact with our BlackBerry’s menus, the future looks bright for our slick, QWERTY friends. Check out the video below for some of the impressive work from TAT, and a preview of what we may be looking forward to!
