RIM’s headache with new Torch
The new Blackberry Torch has barely been out for a week but already there are headaches for RIM. The Blackberry maker was hoping that the new Torch would compete with the iPhone, at least somewhat but it looks like that hope is quickly diminishing.

Sick of iPhone 3G
Yes, I still own and use the Apple iPhone 3G. That’s right, not the 3GS like most people and certainly not the iPhone 4 (not until they say what their long term solution is on Sept. 30th for the design flaw). Since I happily updated by phone’s software to the iOS4 my phone reminds me [...]

Blackberry tablet in the works?
Blackberry maker, Research In Motion (RIM) may be working on a tablet product to directly compete with the Apple iPad.

iPhone 4 sells, but potential defect looms
Apple Inc. sold 1.7 million iPhone 4’s in the first 3 days which makes it the best selling iPhone over that span.
