I don’t recall AT&T ever launching six new smartphones in a single day, but, well, here it is: today the second largest US mobile carrier has just done that, releasing the HTC Vivid, Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket, Samsung Focus S, Samsung Focus Flash, and two BlackBerries. Sure enough, we already knew that these new [...]

While readying the introduction of BlackBerry Colt – which should become the first BBX smartphone – RIM has announced that it would delay the roll-out of the next version of its QNX-based PlayBook OS, namely PlayBook OS 2.0.

UK: 16 GB BlackBerry PlayBook sees price cut to £249
The BlackBerry PlayBook may be running an entirely new, not-BlackBerry operating system, but that doesn’t mean that RIM’s first tablet is selling well. Or at least not as well as RIM would have liked it to. It’s clear that the PlayBook, at this moment, is more of a niche device than a competitor for Apple’s [...]

Earlier today, RIM has officially announced its next mobile operating system, dubbed BlackBerry BBX. This will merge RIM’s two current operating systems, the BlackBerry OS seen on its smartphone range, and QNX, which powers RIM’s first (and as of yet only) tablet, the PlayBook.
