Because of this, Research in Motion (RIM) has been found conceptualizing new ways they can tap into their markets once again. Especially with RIM’s European and North American markets, it seems like more people prefer Apple and Samsung devices. Unfortunately for the company, the report was shown to be from the markets wherein RIM used to be the superior option. Now, the three companies have reached equality …
Pentagon Approves Android Over Apple
by Christine T on Dec 27, 2011 4 Comments">4
Android is going into Politics! Well, no… but pretty close. We just got word that Google’s Android has obtained the approval of Pentagon in an effort of overseeing the US military to use the software. This is alongside the officials’ usage of the equally encrypted Blackberry. However, the approval is very specific. The software can only be used on hardware which is already running Android 2.2. Fortunately, Dell is already offering Dell Venue which operates on the required version. One reason why this is a limitation is because Android is an open source software. Without setting any barriers, anyone …

by Matthew Sabatini on Dec 11, 2011 1 Comments">1
With WebOS announcing its own retirement and BlackBerry on its deathbed, ComScore’s most recent numbers should not come as much of a shock. More specifically, in ComScores July to October 2011 Smart Phone Market Share numbers, WebOS has been completely wiped from the competition. In addition, RIM continues its head first dive from 1st place down 21.7 to 17.2 percent. If you don’t count Microsofts mobile OS, which you shouldn’t, then the market is divided between the two super powers, Android and iOS. Together, they hold 74.4% of the total market. Despite the fact that Apple is still gaining ground, …
From CrackBerry addiction to Android… My transition.
by Chiraag G on Nov 28, 2011 2 Comments">2
My mobile phone history is varied. I think I can list it in order: Ericsson A1018s Nokia 5146 Nokia 3210 Nokia 3310 Nokia 8310 LG U8120 and Sony Ericsson W850i (I was on two contracts at this time I believe with 3 and T-Mobile UK) Nokia N70 Nokia N95 8GB BlackBerry Bold 9700 Samsung Galaxy S2 All of these phones had their pros and cons. The 5146 was a brick, which meant it was the only weapon you could carry legally at all times. It dropped a number of times and did not break. It probably would have taken a …

Motorola Admiral Caught in Wild Photos, Looks Aimed at BlackBerry’s Jugular
by Matthew Sabatini on Oct 12, 2011 0 Comments">0
The yet-unannounced, nay released, Motorola Admiral bound for Sprint has been sighted in wild photos recently–and the Android QWERTY smartphone looks like it has the BlackBerry right in its crosshairs. From first glance, the Motorola Admiral is not the prettiest phone, nor is it the slimmest. But then again, Motorola isn’t really known to release good-looking devices into the wild. The Motorola Admiral seems to share features from the Motorola DROID Pro, fancying a full BlackBerry-style 4-row curved QWERTY keyboard, a 3.1-inch VGA touchscreen, and four soft buttons in the front. The rear features a 5-megapixel camera that also shoots 720p …

Just like in the popular debates about which desktop or laptop computer operating system was better, the same question is being asked by users about mobile devices today.

by Edmund Apostol on Sep 01, 2011 1 Comments">1
BlackBerry manufacturer Research in Motion (RIM) just officially released their OS 7 this August. There are rumors that parts of the programming in this latest BlackBerry platform, specifically version 7.0.0.353 may actually contain some coding compatible with or similar to the Android operating system and application development framework.

Jumptap recently released the findings of its mobile OS research based on state location, and surprise, surprise! If the whole country votes on the number 1 OS in the United States this July, Android will definitely rule over Apple iOS and Blackberry.
