| Will Native Email Come to the BlackBerry PlayBook in Mid June? Posted: 27 May 2011 02:25 AM PDT
One of the questions many potential BlackBerry PlayBook customers and current owners are asking is when native email and PIM will come to the device. At BlackBerry World RIM spread the word that it would be coming "this Summer" which is a nice and vague description of June, July, or August. The thing is OnTheWay reminded me about something Jim Balsillie said in a WSJ interview back on April 15th when he was asked about the lack of a native email client on the PlayBook. His response in case you forgot:
Notice the "I believe" prefacing that statement. Still if you are counting up from April 15th we are 42 days into that 60 day total. That puts 60 days at June 14th which is nice and early summer. As OnTheWay pointed out it would be odd if Jim said "I believe it was 60 days scheduled" if he meant end of summer which would be close to double that. I just thought I would mention that there is a chance we may be seeing this sooner rather than later. I am still pondering how exactly native email and PIM will work on the PlayBook together with your smartphone but I already covered that. So what is your gut feeling? Which month do you think RIM will launch native PIM for the BlackBerry PlayBook? June? July? August? If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

| OS v7.0.0.104 Leaked for the Bold Touch 9930 Posted: 26 May 2011 05:02 PM PDT
The 9930 is the CDMA version of the Bold Touch, but from what we are hearing it will be a while before we see these new devices on sale through your local retailer. Warning: Do not try to load these OS on other devices as it is intended only for the device mentioned above. Source: N4BB If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

| RIM Travelling the US and Canada With the BlackBerry PlayBook Tour Truck Posted: 26 May 2011 01:09 PM PDT
RIM posted up the dates for the cross country/border BlackBerry PlayBook Tour. They are going around the US and Canada with a BlackBerry PlayBook Tour truck showing off the features of the BlackBerry PlayBook. They seem to be hitting quite a few cities with 16 dates listed now with three of them in Canada. What is odd is they have two going on during Canada Day with one in Toronto and one in Vancouver on the same day. Check out the dates and details at this link and let us know if you meet up with the PlayBook Tour team!
Here are some of the things they are showing off: BlackBerry PlayBook Theater Demo Stations

| Google Wallet Enters NFC Payments Game – What Does it Mean for RIM? Posted: 26 May 2011 12:23 PM PDT
It has been no secret that Google has ambitions for a mobile NFC payment system. They just confirmed that today with the announcement of the upcoming Google Wallet service. They have teamed up with Citi (bank/card issuer), MasterCard (card brand/payment network), FirstData (payment processor), and Sprint (carrier) to bring together their service into fruition. With the service they will allow Android phones like the Google Nexus S to make payments at any of the 120,000+ stores in the US that access MasterCard PayPass. We all know that RIM has their own ambitions in the mobile NFC payments space and was even working with MasterCard at one time. The thing is we have heard that carriers are battling RIM over their attempt to do it themselves. That is where I found something interesting in their latest announcement of the BlackBerry OS 7 SDK which will have a new:
This might mean that RIM would allow other developers to create their own NFC payment systems. We might see a service like Google Wallet being the NFC solution for BlackBerry. The interesting twist in Google Wallet is that it allows you to add multiple cards including a prepaid "Google Payment Card." In other words it does not tie it to the carriers. Something makes me think that carriers won't give up on this easily and will want a piece of the pie. They have been slowing down mobile payments in the US for years due to their greed and it looks like NFC might be changing the tide. I know companies who would be interested in RIM coming up with their own NFC solution like Google Wallet that would allow for payments through one of the MasterCard, Visa, Discover, or AmEx "tap and pay" solutions. Imagine if companies could issue corporate credit cards to BlackBerrys over a BES and control them that way. Could have some interesting ramifications… Especially if RIM revived their own BlackBerry Wallet app to make use of it. What do you guys think?

| Angry Farm for BlackBerry Adds 50 Levels in Latest Version! Posted: 26 May 2011 08:51 AM PDT
While I am still trying to get past the 10th level of Angry Farm I know others have pulled it off. For those of you who have I just got a notification from our store that Angry Farm has been updated to v1.1.15. This new version brings 50 new levels to the app bringing the total levels available to 120 after their last update added 30. This is a free upgrade to current owners which a pretty sweet deal. Kudos to the Smarter Apps team for taking care of their customers! I will be picking up the update to see if it made level 10 a little bit easier. You can pick up Angry Farm in the store for $4.99 at this link. If you already own a license you can pick up the update in the store or App World based on where you got it from!

| More Pictures of BlackBerry Torch 2 9810 Leak Out Posted: 26 May 2011 06:48 AM PDT It was only back in February when we really started getting confirmation that a second Torch 2 was on the way. Now we have seen quite a few pictures and specs for the BlackBerry Torch 2 9810 along with a new set that came out this week from TechnoBuffalo (via CrackBerry). What I truly want is a solid release date for the device instead of more pictures but hopefully that is coming soon. If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:
