The BlackBerry Solution from a cop's perspective

Posted by James Richardson on 1 Jun 2012 1:16 pm
While I was over at BlackBerry World last month one of the things that excited me the most was the BlackBerry powered police cruiser (I have a slight police car fetish!). Constable Ken Koke is responsible for showcasing the vehicle as well as using it as his patrol car when keeping the streets of Chatham-Kent free from crime. As well as being a thoroughly nice chap, Ken is also a huge...

Some weeks I'll get long and ranty. Other weeks I'll keep it short and sweet. What will we talk about?...

Posted by Adam Zeis on 4 May 2012 1:35 pm
During my last day at BlackBerry World 2012, I had the extreme pleasure of sitting in on a session presented by Spencer West. If you haven't heard of or seen him before, Spencer is an extremely motivational individual who lost his legs at age five. He told his amazing life story and how he is now setting off to climb Mount Kilimanjaro with his two friends in hopes of raising $750,000 for...

Props go to B-Giftee, Cooklet (available now for PlayBook) and Training with Messi for taking home the big prizes. We're going to have more...
