RIM opens its second BlackBerry apps lab in South Africa

Posted by James Richardson on 15 Nov 2012 11:32 am
We reported just last month about the new porting lab that RIM had opened here in the UK which I popped along to check out. As I said then, they were planning to open further app labs in other countries and today sees the grand opening of the second BlackBerry apps lab in South Africa. Although we now know that RIM is to officially announce BlackBerry 10 at the end of January, this new lab...

Business is booming for RIM in Nigeria and it continues to grow rapidly - a true BlackBerry nation!

Posted by James Richardson on 11 Nov 2012 3:59 pm
We reported just a short time ago about the new BlackBerry retail store opening in Nigeria and it seems that the BlackBerry market in Africa is getting stronger day by day. BlackBerry holds the top spot not only in Nigeria but also in the whole of Africa. Clearly in some parts of the world RIM are not doing as well at the moment so it is vital that the Canadian company keep on supporting...

The UK's Prime Minister loves his BlackBerry so much he doesn't switch to silent mode for meetings!

Posted by James Richardson on 10 Nov 2012 3:06 pm
David Cameron, the UK's Prime Minister, managed to give BlackBerry some free marketing this week, although I'm pretty sure he didn't do it on purpose. Whilst conducting a Q&A session in Dubai his BlackBerry decided to 'ping' and he quite openly reached into his pocket and told the audience that it was his BlackBerry. It made me laugh as a while ago BlackBerry UK tweeted David...

World's Toughest Mudder and a BlackBerry!

Posted by James Richardson on 4 Nov 2012 5:16 am
Over on the BlackBerry Business Blog they have published a story about a gentleman who goes by the name of Neall Hards. Neall is taking part in his first World's Toughest Mudder, something I have never heard of, and for those of you in the dark like me here's the low down: Competitors will have 24 hours to complete as many laps of a Tough Mudder course as they can. At the 24 hour mark, all...

To be honest, I'm not sure they will shift too many but you never know as the celebs like them...

The BlackBerry browser will now let us view Instagram photos - at last!

Posted by James Richardson on 2 Nov 2012 7:17 pm
If you are on team BlackBerry you are probably jealous of your Android and iOS friends posting photos to their social networking sites via Instagram. And many of us BlackBerry users are also jealous that we do not have the Instagram app on our BlackBerry smartphones - let's hope that is resolved with BlackBerry 10. What has been just as frustrating is the fact that when a buddy does post an...

British woman writes a novel on her BlackBerry and gets a publishing deal!

Posted by James Richardson on 2 Nov 2012 6:58 am
This story isn't the first we have heard of an author writing a book on their trusty BlackBerry, but it's inspiring nonetheless. After a bet with her daughter, Georgina Campbell managed to knock out a whopping 55,600 words on her BlackBerry keyboard and for her effort has gotten herself a publishing deal, which is not an easy feat. The novel, titled 'The Kickdown Girls', revolves around a...
