In 1999 Research in Motion (RIM) took a leap of faith and released something called the Blackberry. Blackberry was the device that everybody wanted. It was the smartphone of its early days, able to do email and other tasks, and its only limits it had was itself. Gosh, back in 1999 it was nothing more than a pager that looked like a chunky, laptop with fingerprints all over it. Of course it had lots of worries, like the release of the Palm VII which fell flat on its face. Then the arrival of the Apple Newton which also became a novelty item on Ebay 10 years later.

Why you don't need to keep re-installing Windows to "Start Fresh"

Editorial: Why the iPhone won't be on Verizon

Verizon will be getting something from Apple sometime in the next year. It won't be a iPhone, especially after the recent Verizon adds directly attacking the iPhone but, there is speculation and rumor from an inside source that Verizon IS getting something from Apple.What might this be?

Great right, now you will be paying for 2 cell services!

More exciting news after the break.
