Launch a 3G BlackBerry playbook and four new handsets for 2012

January 17th, 2012

Last week we discussed some rumors pointing to a possible agenda for 2012 RIM launches. Among them, talk about the existence of a tablet PlayBook 2 and one 10-inch screen, and a terminal 10 and two BlackBerry models in the Curve. Now, the news website BGR, RIM says, indeed, such an agenda has the full year 2012 and the first quarter of 2013.

The information leaked last week becomes established and are already several tech news sites that have provided data on the release schedule planned by RIM for the next 15 months. So while the first devices running BlackBerry OS with 10 expected from the fall, the company plans to launch handsets with BlackBerry 7 for emerging markets.

Thus, RIM will market two new teams Curve range (touch screen qwerty keyboard hardware) in the coming months: BlackBerry Curve 9230 and 9320. The first is a smartphone with EDGE technology and the second implement HSPA.

Regarding the models outside the range Curve, there was speculation that September could get called BlackBerry Milan, touch screen phone vertically sliding keyboard. Now BGR, BlackBerry also speaks of London, with dual-core processor at 1.5 GHz and 4.3-inch screen, which could also be released that month.

As for future models with the BlackBerry operating system 10, it seems that there is another smartphone in the pipeline which could be launched in December 2012. Be part of the Bold series and, therefore, will have among its features with touch screen qwerty keyboard. Beyond the speculation and rumors, and what we finally on the market, the important thing is that RIM is working on new products, smartphones and tablets, to try to raise its head, especially if we consider the change that has produced on the board this weekend.

iPhone 4S “captures” to users of other platforms

January 13th, 2012

Yesterday we mentioned that Apple had increased its sales after the death of Steve Jobs, breaking records thanks to the iPhone especially 4S. And today we are with another statistic that may be considered as a cause of this growth, and that 36% of users who have purchased an iPhone 4S since its introduction came from other smartphones that were not the Apple brand, and just add to the followers of the bitten apple.

Blackberry, Android or Palm platforms are those from the large percentage of users who had not ever had a mobile Apple when they decided on the iPhone 4S. We will have to wait out another iPhone model to see if they have “hooked” forever or return to the platforms used before.

Also, those who have gone to the iPhone with the release of 4S repair seems to be no expense, since most of them have chosen the best version of the smartphone, the 64 gigabyte, which of course is also the most expensive. So we could say that Apple have entered through the front door.

This is great news for Apple’s interests, since Android was beginning to emerge as the most mobile operating system sold on the planet. However, the sheer volume of iPhone sales 4S has made the company founded by Steve Jobs cut him a little distacia. The war for market dominance between the bite and manzara green android becomes therefore more interesting than ever.

Other platforms such as Windows Phone or BlackBerry will remain far behind now, but hope to have the opportunity to enter the market competitively.

The hardware will be enough to develop games according to today’s standards, but it is still unclear what kind of conecctividad include the console, an important point to compete with smartphones and laptops today.

No price or release date announced, the Neo Geo will be launched from a large number of competitors. With Sony and Nintendo 3DS Vita as an industry leader in video game platforms and IOS and Android gaining a large share of mobile market, we know that can happen with this new console will seek to compete with all segments. If the price makes a difference, we’ll probably see some good sales of the console.

January 6th, 2012

The incessant rumors always have a point and this has been fulfilled as I was saying lately about RIM and its new Blackberry Bold, which has just been presented in partnership, and noted to include a capacitive touchscreen.

The new BlackBerry Bold 9900 combines classic qwerty keyboard so entrenched in the brand, along with a capacitive touch screen of 2.8 inches (640 × 480 pixel resolution) as demand today, all without forgetting to continue to maintain the central trackpad, which we consider a success. His improvements do not end here, and which has also been revamped its appearance with the phone resting on a steel chassis in one piece and has become the new Blackberry Bold 9900 in the finest ever made so far, its thickness is only 10.5 millimeters thick.

Its benefits go further, since it also renewed its internal components.
