SK Telecom has just opened its doors to selling RIM’s BlackBerry. This is a rather aggressive move for the Canadian company to push their products in Asia - risky too. South Korea is home to LG and Samsung, that also manufacture mobile handsets, but not necessarily BlackBerry enabled devices:

You probably saw it over the weekend if you haven’t had the chance to watch television all week.

Aaron Brazell reports some battery anomalies after installing the FaceBook application for his BlackBerry. Since then, I haven’t had the guts to install the application to my Pearl, especially since I’m currently in transit from a trip. Scary.

I’ve been rather disappointed with the trackball of the BlackBerry Pearl the past few days. I assumed that having a trackball mechanism would make the Pearl immune to the failings of joysticks getting stuck or getting less sensitive as wear and tear progresses.

The Missing Sync is missing a vital tool for its BlackBerry to Mac pairing - the ability to install applications onto the device via USB connection. The Missing Sync for BlackBerry conduit, currently at version 1.0.1 is an efficient tool for synchronizing your BlackBerry with iTunes and iPhoto as well as your other PIM applications.

As I’ve written in my personal blog, b5media has released a free mobile RSS reader together with Viigo. The application is bundled with b5media channel feeds.
Using Viigo, mobile users no longer have to go through their Web browser to read blogs. Instead, they download Viigo and the blogosphere comes to you - much just […]
