I logged into the web based version of twitter a couple of hours ago and found a new surprise.   One of my status updates had a new tab beside it in addition to the city that I was broadcasting from.

This didn’t bother me.  After all, I’m aware and actually encouraged by Foursquare to “shout” my [...]

So here’s the question…  If you had the musical talent and you were locked in your room for three months, what would you come up with?  Ask Kutiman.

Kutiman is an Israeli producer who took hundreds of Youtube videos, spliced and sampled them together for the ultimate funk, reggae, hiphop, jungle, techno, jazz, pop visual mash-up [...]

As many of you already know, I am a blackberry fanatic.  In my efforts to spread the gospel I try my best to spread my favorite free blackberry utilities to everyone I know.   I usually did this with a blog post or twitter update or even via pin messages.

In an effort to keep up and [...]

In February of 2008, RIM announced that a big update was coming out for its BlackBerry handsets: OS v4.5. You can read all about the new features here and here. It ended up taking about 8 months before the update actually became available, but it’s finally arrived… well, for some BlackBerries, on some wireless carriers. [...]

Five years ago today, I was modding Nextel phones for a living.  Knocking out i95’s in 15 minutes and lining them up with l.e.d.s – until…  I got burnt out!!

Today, I just did my first blackberry mod and I remembered why I decided to get out of the game.  I just don’t have time.   Even [...]

I was starting to get disturbed by the fact that I couldn’t get notified of @replies to myself unless I had direct message/sms notification on for the person I was following.   People have been replying but sometimes while on the go, I wouldn’t know until I logged back into twhirl or jumped back on to [...]

I never thought that I would say this, but I’m feeling Twitter.  In the past two years I’ve signed up for at least a dozen social networking sites.  I test them out, I study, I network and then I leave them alone.  The truth of the matter is, if it doesn’t make me any money [...]

Here is my list of favorite blackberry tools that I have come across over the years.  The links in this article are mostly meant to be downloaded directly from your browser’s screen.  Knock yourself out!

Does it look like A Curve replacement to you?

BG just dropped a pic of the Blackberry Thunder coming to Verizon Wireless.   I’m looking forward to this model and I’m very curious to see how it will be received by the public.  

It’s going to be the first touchscreen blackberry and more importantly, It will be released to Verizon Wireless exclusively.   Verizon Wireless is usually [...]

The Flip Mino, a pint-sized but more powerful companion to the so-easy-your-grandma-will-be-a- YouTube-star Ultra, is now official. We already saw the $180 mini-cam in a fuzzy picture, but now we know that although it carries 2GB of on-board flash for 60 minutes of VGA-quality recording like the Ultra, it’s 40% smaller—a scant 4” x 2” [...]

2.1 Stereo bluetooth
microSDHC support
microUSB port
EVDO support

It could be here as early as April.   Stay tuned.

I came across a great find for any blackberry user on BES.   Empower BES Mailbox is my new BFF.

The biggest default issue with BES is that all incoming emails get tossed into one main folder (with the non-bes email).   Empower separates and even provides folder options exclusively for BES.   It has helped [...]

Do you have a gmail account? Do you own a blackberry? If you answered yes to both of these answers then you probably have had the annoying instance of your sent items pop into your blackberry inbox. It can get pretty frustrating if you send out tons of emails. You can [...]
