(thanks RIMarkable)
Very exciting, although, as I have said before, I really want a *real* keyboard. Though the latest [...]



Is RIMs Blackberry 9000 an iPhone killer?

Apr 28th, 2008 | By servaas | Category: Dutch Info Network

Certain rumors claim that the annouced blackberry 9000 could me marketed as an iPhone killer. Personally, I don’t think that one can really compare blackberry’s and iPhones - it is more like comparing apples and bananas. Why? First of all, look at the targeted audience. Blackberry’s are marketed towards business users. Although Apple claims otherwise, [...]

Blackberry and Mac - a perfect couple

Jan 24th, 2008 | By servaas | Category: Dutch Info Network

Like macs are the rolls royces of computers, blackberry’s are the rolls royces of pda’s as well as cellphones. Both gadgets are king in efficiencyland. The funny thing is though that synchronisation of the two is not as efficient and great as the two apart. For some reason, RIM doesn’t invest in mac software much.
