Hello, Everyone!
It has been an interesting year, to say the least. Not just from a Tech or BlackBerry stand point, but from the entire world.
As we move into the new year, we want to do it with style! With that in mind, we are in the middle of website remodel. When we are finished, BlackBerryStuff.invioe.com will have a new look, a new App & Accessory store, as well as a new sister site (which we are being a bit “hush – hush” about), until its launch during the fist week of 2012.
Happy Friday!
I’ll bet that you are all thinking that I have forgotten about the “Customer Service Reviews” write up. Well, I have not forgotten, I am waiting on all of the results to come in. Given the amount of time that it is taking, I bet you can figure out that some of these reviews are not exactly Spectacular…(hence the article)!
As soon as we get all of our information in, we will get that out to you, so that you can see who is backing up their products.
Now, don’t get it twisted. I absolutely Love Kobo, but I also Love to read! Sometimes, it isn’t possible to get all of the ebooks that we want from just one source. With that in mind, you can now access your Kindle library from your BlackBerry PlayBook. It isn’t perfect mind you, but it is possible.
Until now, I have had to read the ebooks in my Kindle library on my BlackBerry Bold, which is great, but for those of us with a PlayBook, it just isn’t the same, now, is it?.
Just wanted to take a quick sec to let our readers know that we are almost finished with the BlackBerryStuff.invioe.com updates….(WooHoo!)
Yes, I know that it has taken quite a bit longer to get the updates implemented, but when we are finished, it will be well worth the wait! We have some pretty exciting articles coming up. I don’t know about you, but I am getting super excited about the up – coming release of the BlackBerry PlayBook. I’m kind of on the fence though. I am trying to decide between grabbing the wi-fi version when released, or waiting it out for Sprints launch sometime this summer.
In case you missed it today, there is an official OS update for those of you Rockin’ the Bold 9650 on Sprint! Since I am a “Glass half – full” kinda person, I am hoping that this update will bring us just that much closer to BlackBerry OS 6. You can pick up the official update here. You can also grab it OTA, via the “Wireless Update” tab in the “Options” tab, to “Advanced Options” tab, on your BlackBerry device.
Though 10/3/2010, Kobo is running an ebook sale…WooHoo! The is for select titles, which you can check out the list here.
If you have not had a chance to check out Kobo, now is a great time to do so. It is rumored that Kobo will come pre-loaded on BlackBerry’s New PlayBook, ( and I can’t wait)!
I don’t know about you, but I am super psyched over BlackBerry’s New PlayBook! ( I think that must of us BB Junkies are!) Later today, I will have a post up with all of the PlayBooks specs & capabilities, but what do you think RIM’s plan of attack should be here? The BlackBerry PlayBook, will give RIM a definite edge over Apple and their iPad, so what will be the best way for RIM to execute their marketing so that they just, leave Apple in the dust? or Is it even possible for RIM to leave Apple in the dust.
The SkyMall App is a “shop ’till you dropper’s” dream! If you are not familiar with SkyMall, we’ll give you a brief overview.
SkyMall.com is a huge shopping website. If you are looking for it, chances are you will be able to find it at SkyMall.com. Their categories include everything from electronics to car accessories, and home decor to pet supplies. Now, you can access all of it right from your BlackBerry.
Ok, kids, here we go! We have an OS update for the BlackBerry Bold 9650!
If you own the device, and want the update, all you need to do is go to the Options icon, then click the Advanced tab, then scroll down to the Wireless Update tab and follow the prompts.
In one of my previous articles, I mentioned how excited I was when I dove into my new BlackBerry Bold 9650′s pre-installed apps and found the ScanLife App. We have talked about bar code reading apps here at BlackBerryStuff.invioe.com before, such as edocrab, but ScanLife has had some pretty big press lately, so I thought we would give you an overview. It’s a pretty cool app to have & the personal accounts are free.
Let’s start out with a bit of background info on the company behind the ScanLife App. ScanLife was made by a company called Scanbuy.
Just in case you missed out Tweet, I wanted to give you a quick overview of some of what we have in store for you this week.
We will be taking a look at the ScanLife App, which if you are with Sprint and have plans of getting the new Bold 9650, comes pre-loaded with ScanLife. We are also going to be taking a look at FlyCast 2.0 for BlackBerry, and we will have the Solio Charger review up for you as well.
Yep, that’s right! It arrived around 6:00PM, last night. I have to say that I’m am more than impressed, so far. You can expect a full review and a look at all of the devices “bells & whistles”, as well as the Solio Mono Charger review, within the next 48 hours!
* Don’t forget! Every book you buy from Kobo, gives you a chance to win one of their new eReaders!
Also, be on the look out, we will have that Solio Hybrid Charger review coming at you this week, Sorry for the delay. A side note for you, if you have been thinking about picking one up, they are running a special where a portion of the sale price goes to the efforts in Haiti. You can check it out HERE!
