Blackberry World to Get More Apps

Thorsten Heins or as I like to call him Thor recently stated that Blackberry World will be receiving twice as many apps as we're released at initial launch day. Some of these apps include long awaiting releases of banking apps from TD and CIBC.

Thor predicts 100, 000 apps to be on Blackberry World by the big US release of the Z10 on March 22nd.

Thumbs Up, Phones Down

During this upcoming holiday season we are reminded to be careful on the roads, this starts with putting our 100% focus on what’s in front of us. TELUS and KELCOM have partnered with the WISE program to remind our customers and local communities of the danger of distracted driving. Did you know that drivers engaged in text messaging on a cellular phone are 23 times more likely to be involved in a crash or near crash event compared with non-distracted drivers? There is one person injured in a distracted driving accident every 30 mins in Canada. These numbers are staggering and should be taken seriously.

A mobile virus has the ability to rapidly drain your phone's battery, delete personal data or even take control of certain features of the device.

I am 100% with you when people say "It's the same phone" and for the most part you are right. I decided to challenge myself to see what is the different between the iPhone 5c and its predecessor the iPhone 5. I won't go over the obvious similarities such as processors, screen size, etc, however I will go over the main differences that benefit myself and may benefit you as well.

I assure you, the shape of the back is different, more rounded and most importantly lighter. This isn't the same plastic that your rubbermaid containers are made of, this is polycarbonate plastic.
