RIM Continues to Decline in U.S. Mobile Subscriber Market Share

Recent numbers put out by comScore shows that RIM continues a steady slow decline this year in the US Smartphone Market share. RIM has suffered a 1% drop from 25.7% to 24.7% since the last report given by comScore ending in April 2011. It will be interesting to see how the numbers change when Verizon starts to sell three of the upcoming BlackBerry Smartphones in their stores later this year. Let's hope RIM can climb back up on top with this rekindled Verizon partnership.

A snapshot (Seen Below) of Amazon UK, shows the Bold Touch 9900 available for shipment on October 15th and in white. Currently, we have not seen an news of a white 9900, or any other color, however this is no more. We now have some info that is pointing on a white version of the 9900 to be launched in the UK. Will that white launch in the US, or will we have other colors? The purple and deep red are a favorite of RIM, other than Black, so we will have to wait and see.

Head over to the forums and let us know what color 9900 you would want

Verizon 4G LTE #1 in nationwide speedtest

Verizon Wireless comes out on top in the PC Mag nationwide speedtest for mobile data. If you think that all 4G networks are created equal, PC Mag begs to differ, as they point out:

But you shouldn’t believe the hype: All “4G” is not the same. In a 21-city test across the United States, we found that Verizon’s new 4G LTE network is much faster than other mobile Web options, with speeds that often exceed home Internet connections.

Head to the Forum to see the mobile data speedtest results

Rumor: RIM working on an Apple TV-like device?

BlackBerry Rumors

New device announcements always get us excited. There is rumor that RIM is developing a Media Box, similar to Apple TV. The source who leaked this information is the same individual who leaked info of the BlackBerry PlayBook & BlackBerry Presenter.

Apparently the device will be less consumer focused, so Netflix integration might not be in the plans for this rumored device.

The device is rumored to be a crossover of the BlackBerry Presenter and a set top box, powered by a QNX-based operating system.

Will we see this device in time for the 2011 Holiday season?

We'll keep you updated as we receive more information on this rumored device.

Canada Post Mobile App updated: Major UI overhaul

Maybe the recent postal strike delayed this update, but I'm happy to say that Canada Post has updated their app today. This update, v3.1, brings a major UI overhaul & brings an important new feature: Postal Code Search.

If you've never used Canada Post Mobile App, you'll be happy to know that it has many features:

Canada Post Mobile App gives you access to some of the the most popular tools on canadapost.ca. You can now create your own personalized stamps with Picture Postage, Track a Package and Find a Post Office anywhere in Canada.

Use Picture Postage by taking a picture with your device, or access any photos that you have stored on your camera roll -- share life's precious moments, create your own stamp!

Use Track a Package to track and check the status of your items. You can give the item a name and save it in the app (e.g., Mom’s package), so you can easily keep track of it until it is delivered.

Use Find a Post Office to locate the nearest Canada Post retail outlets, based on your GPS coordinates or an address that you enter.

Opera Software updated their Opera Mini web browser this week to v6.1. This update bring a few bugs fixes/tweaks, but the most noticeable difference is search suggestions from Google and Yandex now appear in the search bar.

With BlackBerry OS 6 being out now for over 6 months, does anyone use this browser instead of the native webkit browser?

Web search: Find what you're searching for fast. Comprehensive results pages let you see relevant websites, images, videos, news, real-time results and more. Simply click on the arrow button ‘>>’ to the left of the top search box for more refinement options.
Image search: Swipe through image results quickly and easily on touch enabled devices. Start by selecting ‘Images’ at the top of google.com, then enter a search. From there, click on any image to view a larger size.
Local search: Find restaurants, shops and other popular business categories with a single tap. Start by selecting ‘Places’ at the top of google.com, then click on an icon from the Places homepage.

To try out the new features, go to www.google.com from your mobile browser.

Apparently someone decided to tip their waiter in a bizarre way today & let him play with some unreleased BlackBerry smartphones.

Californa Sandwiches tweeted a photo of the BlackBerry Bold Touch 9900 & BlackBerry Torch 9860 out in the wild somewhere in downtown Toronto. As you can see from the photo, both devices are rockin' on the Telus Mobility network.

Is a Telus Mobility release of these devices closer than we had previously expected?

My favorite LED alert app has just been updated to v7.09. In this release the UberSocial alert gets updated, and also the new addition of the Nimbuzz alert. The developer also states that a connection bug has also been fixed. If you are looking for a simpler alternative to your other alert apps, I suggest getting Blink. It's clean and simple - what you want in a alert app. Plus the developers, VikySoft, are always keeping the app updated to support the latest social networks, ect.

Download Blink for $3.99 in the BlackBerryOS App Store
