I know that many PinStackers participated in the beta testing for the application Tether(formerly called TetherBerry) and have now become regular users. I received and email from the folks at Tether about their fantastic celebration they are having in honor of their birthday! Here is more about what's been going on with Tether:
"In just the past year we've helped over 110,000 BlackBerry Smartphones share their data connection with their laptops, all over the world. The
year has been exciting with our rebranding from TetherBerry to Tether, launch of the Mac & Bluetooth version, our Android Beta and winning the
local Innovacorp I3 competition.
It has been a fun ride and we hope to build on... [Read More]

Engadget has been playing around with the Android 1.5-based, Flash Lite-supported, multitouch-capable handset for the last couple of hours -- but before they grace you with their first impressions, just a fair warning: they don't yet know the price of the new T-Mobile Android handset, though Motorola did promise that it will hit shelves this month.

I saw a tweet from Rimarkable that BlackBerry App World has been updated. Those of you that use it should get a notification but for those who avoid it because of it's sluggish issues you may want to grab this version and see if it's improved. I don't know if there are major improvements or if it is just for some minor bug fixes. To get the newest version just head to the mobile.blackberry.com site or upgrade from within App World if you already have it. Let us know if there are any new features or if you notice any...

I got an email from my friend at VirtualViews about a new application for BlackBerry users running BBM 5.0 called Picticons. Many of us have found various icons posted around the internet that work with BBM but insterting them requires switching to memos or wherever we had them saved to our BBs, then going back to BBM and pasting them into our message every time you want to add something more than the ones included with BBM. But now you can have almost 300 icons available to you from within your BBM menu using Picticons!

As we have been telling you for a while now, T-Mobile is finally pulling the plug on their T-Mobile@Home service on March 23rd. *While you will not be able to purchase it as a consumer, it will continue to be available for business accounts. *In addition, T-Mobile will continue to service and support T-Mobile@Home customers. *If you are still looking for a landline alternative, get out to a T-Mobile store today and activate your Even More Plus plan with T-Mobile@Home for an additional $10 per month, or $15 for Even More plans, before March 23rd. *While it seems sad that they are killing off this great feature, do you really need it when you have unlimited plans?

| Rumor: New RIM Browser LATE 2010? |

Different reports are coming in stating RIM will be officially be releasing their new "Webkit" browser by the end of 2010. This differs drastically from the previous report/rumor of mid July. The new browser will bring "iPhone-like" web surfing to the BlackBerry platform, supporting AJAX, CSS, and HTML. However, at this time there is no confirmation of flash.
The first thing this brings to mind is whether it may be too little too late. RIM is already DESPERATELY behind in a consumer driven market with both the OS and the browser. What else will Apple, Google, or even Microsoft bring to the table in another nine months. Another nine months where RIM falls... [Read More]

| T-Mobile 21Mbps HSPA+ service launching March 14th? |

TmoNews is reporting that come March 14th, T-Mobile will be launching its much-awaited HSPA+ service in a few more markets. These are rumored to include Miami, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, and presumably Philadelphia while supporting the launch of a new 3G data device as well — the webConnect Rocket. Additionally, it looks like T-Mobile has finally started to overhaul their cellular coverage maps by adding more zoom layers, population guides, and additional color coding for different network technologies (like the new HSPA+ service). Anyone excited to get their mobile 21Mbps on?

I just got an email from Bellshare last night that their very popular BerryWeather app has been updated to v2.2.01. BerryWeather is probably the best weather application out there for Blackberry. The main update is the added support for 3rd party app access to BerryWeather data. Developers can now integrate BerryWeather into their apps. Other than that it looks like a few bug fixes.
Note: Most of the same version updates upgrade (i.e. from version 2.1 to version 2. 2) are free and most of the major upgrades (i.e. from version 2 to version 3) might require an upgrade fee.

| Hold on to your hats, BlackBerry fans, because this one’s a bit crazy. Truesupplier, a well respected online retailer of OEM and third party phone parts and accessories has published images of what it claims is a full-QWERTY keyboard for the upcoming Pearl 9100. Featuring what is best described as a shrunken down version of the Bold 9700’s keypad complete with guitar-like frets separating each row of keys, we have virtually no doubts that this keypad is indeed ...

Google has added another useful feature to Android phones running 2.0 or greater, Gesture Search. Using gesture search you can easily find contacts, apps, bookmarks, and song tracks but drawing letters on your touch screen. You can choose which of the four areas are searchable, and adjust the writing speed. So far it seems to very accurately pick up my writing and it also gives search results showing similar letters in case it can't read your writing, I wrote "Pins", but it thought I could have meant "Ring" or something else so it showed my PinStack bookmark(best match for the...

 The second app in the roundup is IM+ from ShapeServices. Much like BeeJive, IM+ supports all the popular IM services: MSN, Yahoo!, Google Talk, AIM, Jabber, ICQ, Facebook, and MySpace, but it goes two steps further, supporting Skype Chat and Twitter. The latter being the plus (no pun intended) for me, because I'm a regular Twitter user.
I want to reiterate here however that... [Read More]

All that's needed is the 3.5mm dongle (read: your dock connector remains open), the latest iPhone OS and the free RedEye app; once you're setup, you can... [Read More]

Seems Apple is now a Company on the offensive side of a new Lawsuit. I kind of thought we may see something like this when I began trying out some of the HTC products. They are very nice and up till recently only Apple was able to accomplish certain Touch Screen abilities. It's worth noting Apple did nothing against Palm, even though that was a similar situation.
Apple has decided to go after HTC instead.
