| RIM Awarded Patent for BlackBerry 10 Predictive Keyboard Posted: 17 Jul 2012 09:03 PM PDT
When RIM first showed off the BlackBerry 10 keyboard during BlackBerry World in May many were wondering if copycats would be released before BlackBerry 10. Now it looks like we have a bit better understanding why RIM is not too worried about competitors stealing their innovations. Engadget spotted a patent award for RIM for a "handheld electronic device with text disambiguation." Essentially that means a logic based keyboard that recommends the next output based on a learning function beyond simple frequency of use. Here is how RIM describes it:
The whole patent application actually seems quite interesting and makes me wonder what it will mean for alternate keyboards like Swype and SwiftKey on Android and other platforms. Check out the full patent filing here at the USPTO. If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

If you have been waiting for some wild west action on your PlayBook then look no further. Union has brought Cowboy Guns to the PlayBook with a gang of gunslingers called The Crimson Jackals. You have to blaze your way through the towns angling to take over for the four gang leaders and bring peace and harmony in this western themed action game. The graphics are ok but the gameplay is definitely challenging. Check out Cowboy Guns for $2.99 in App World and let us know what you think!

| Dumb Phones Become “Drunk Phones”? Posted: 17 Jul 2012 11:55 AM PDT As I wrote recently, many smartphone users don’t relish the idea of losing their devices. As I also mentioned, some of the more popular places for smartphones to be lost include bars and nightclubs. Well, it seems as though these two facts are combining to form a new tech consumption phenonemon. According to this article on CNET, many young’uns who are concerned about the possibility of spilling drinks on their smartphones or losing them in a drunken stupor have begun carrying lower-end phones with them for their alcohol adventures. So dumb phones, which in these circumstances have been dubbed “drunk phones”, give the youngsters the ability to access integral phone features on their nights out without the risk of their losing an expensive piece of technology. Who says kids these days can’t think for themselves? If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

| easyDial Touchscreen Dialpad for the BlackBerry Bold 9900 Posted: 17 Jul 2012 07:54 AM PDT
I know this might sound a bit odd but I have actually had a couple people asking me for such an app so I thought it might be worth mentioning. With the touchscreen on the BlackBerry Bold 9900 and 9930 some users have wanted to be able to dial phone numbers using the touchscreen instead of the smaller keyboard buttons. I cannot fathom why you would want to do this but the people who asked were willing to pay for the pleasure. If you were looking for such a solution you need look no further. easyDial will pop up a dialpad on your BlackBerry Bold 9900s screen for you to punch in numbers. You can find easyDial for $0.99 in App World. If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

| BlackBerry Curve 9320 Coming to T-Mobile in September Posted: 17 Jul 2012 05:34 AM PDT
I am not sure what they are waiting for but it looks like T-Mobile will be getting the low cost introductory smartphone BlackBerry Curve 9320 in September. The phone codenamed Armstrong is scheduled for September 26th which is a ways off. If T-Mobile makes the price right especially with prepaid that could be a hot selling BlackBerry. via TmoNews If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:
