I have had the opportunity to review each generation of Sound iD’s Bluetooth headsets. The first was a small but excellent device and with each generation the devices have gotten better and better. Now the company is back with their Sound iD SIX Series headset and it looks great. Here’s what the company has to [...]

RIM Offers iSpeech DriveSafe.ly Pro As First in a Package of Freebie Apps to Pacify BlackBerry Customers; Will It Work?
If you have a BlackBerry, then you doubt suffered through RIM’s outages last week. They want to make it up to you, and in order to do so they are offering free apps — the first of which rolls out today. Over the next four weeks you’ll have other apps to choose from, and this [...]
“Brief Me” News and Social Media Reader Released
Well, you knew that Flipboard wasn’t going to have the entire field to itself, right? Software mavens/boffins/hackers the world over have struggled since the beginnings of the Web (as a commercial space, anyway) to figure out how to filter and deliver information to the average Joe or Jane (or Jean or Ivan or Sathish or [...]
eBay v2.0 Beta Now Available for BlackBerry
In case we haven’t mentioned it often enough, the folks here at GD are big believers in competition (in the tech world, anyway!). So while I am wedded to iOS, and others here are confirmed Android users, we have Linux folks and Windows folks and all kinds here. Which is why I’m glad to see [...]
RIM’s Tablet Suddenly Becomes Useful as Evernote Arrives on BlackBerry PlayBook
Well would you look at this… the BlackBerry PlayBook just got a whole lot more useful! YEAH!!! Evernote just announced the release of an Evernote app for the PlayBook. Rather than simply port the tablet app from iOS or Android the Evernote team thought about the PlayBook, its 7″ size and its overall form factor when [...]
Would You Like an Invite to BlackBerry’s New BB Music Service?
image courtesy of BlackBerry Smartphones Week If you live in North America or the UK, and if you have a BlackBerry, you have no doubt heard about the new BlackBerry Music service that we mentioned earlier this week. $5 per month gets you 50 songs that you can share with your friends … but only if [...]
Music Diary Notes: RIM’s BBM Music Poses the Question: Perhaps Late is NOT Better than Never?
Imagine if back in 2006 someone told you that RIM was offering a music plan for the Blackberry that would allow you to get 50 songs per month, share them with all of your friends who also have a Blackberry, unlimited and on-demand. And that it would have cost $5 a month! You would likely [...]
Cobra Tag Helps You Find Anything Including Your Phone
Are you the type that misplaces things like keys, your car remote or your purse? Then the Cobra Tag may be for you. Cobra Tag is a Bluetooth device that works in conjunction with your phone. Once set up, if you walk away from the item your phone will alert you that you forgot your keys. What [...]
IM+ Update on Blackberry
Image courtesy of PocketBerry I’m always happy to get a news item about a product with which I’m familiar, like the iFrogz cases, or the Mophie Juice Packs, or ScotteVest gear. It’s so easy to say, “Hey, check this stuff out!” when you’re personally familiar with it, you know? In that category is IM+, a [...]
Slacker Radio Premium Subscription Giveaway!
Slacker Radio is really one of my ‘can’t live without’ services. It’s one of the first things I put on any smartphone or tablet. I use it on the PC and Mac. I stream music from custom stations in the car, at work, home — and just about everywhere in between. What’s [...]
BlackBerry News 1.0 for the BlackBerry PlayBook Tablet Available Now
Reading on a tablet (or dedicated device like a Kindle) is one of the great breakthroughs of modern technology, so far as I’m concerned. I’m a naive utopiast, yes, but I firmly believe that the more people learn, the better their lives can be. And if you can’t read, or don’t have access to information, [...]
Adobe brings Flash, AIR and More to the Blackberry Playbook
As much as I love my iPad — and I definitely do — I’m always glad to see other folks starting to compete in the tablet market space. Samsung got there reasonably quickly with their Tab of course, and RIM has entered the field with their new Blackberry Playbook (which Dan got a look at [...]
Slacker Launches Slacker Premium Radio with On-Demand Access to Music Library
I’m a huge fan of Slacker Radio but I have to admit, it has been a little long in the tooth lately. I mean, they still haven’t got an iPad app which means you need to use the Slacker iPhone app at 2X resolution on your iPad. Ugly!! Moreover, services like RDIO have made selective [...]
Poynt Hits the BlackBerry PlayBook in a Big Way
One of the applications I love — not only on the BlackBerry, but on iOS, Android, webOS and Windows Phone 7 — is Poynt. It is my favorite do-all location-based search utility. I’m fortunate to get to test different phones and tablets, and Poynt is one of those apps I always load up [...]
BlackBerry World 2011: Is RIM Knocking It Out of the Park or Lobbing Soft Balls?
[image via Yahoo News] This week’s BlackBerry World Conference is meant to show off the latest and greatest BlackBerry products and software offerings — as well as give a sneak peek into what RIM, the makers of the popular BlackBerry smartphones and PlayBook tablet — have planned. Unlike many prior years (where the [...]
