Introducing the.... BlackBerry® PlayBook

The rumored Blackberry tablet has finally arrived, and in a big way! Welcome to the scene, Blackberry PlayBook!

RIM Founder and Co-CEO Mike Lazaridis announced the new tablet device at DEVCON earlier today in San Francisco, CA. During the presentation Mike held a PlayBook in his hands and welcomed to the stage guests such as the founder of QNX Dan Dodge and Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen to specifically talk about the tight integration QNX and Adobe will have with the PlayBook.

Here is the introduction that they provided to the PlayBook at DEVCON:

This bad boy is packing some SERIOUS specs.  With a 7-inch hi-res (1024 x 600, WSVGA) widescreen display (multi-touch), being 9.7 mm thick, and weighing less than a pound, this device is ultra-portable and is slightly smaller than an iPad. The device will have a 1 GHz dual-core (with symmetrical multiprocessing capabilities) processor, and 1 GB RAM to allow fo full optimization of that dual core. The Playbook will come with Flash 10.1 (including hardware accelerated video), HTML 5, and support 1080p video. Some other intriguing parts of the PlayBook puzzle include non-proprietary HDMI and USB connections, full-HD front and rear-facing cameras (3 MP front facing, 5 MP rear facing), as well as support for dual-displays. Even more exciting for corporate users, it will be able to connect with BlackBerry Enterprise Servers out of the box via Bluetooth secure pairing to BlackBerry. Wi-Fi (802.11 a/b/g/n) is included and RIM plans to roll out 3G and 4G models in the near future.

I have to say that I was extremely surprised, and impressed to say the least, by those specs. RIM had to go above and beyond the iPad to avoid the "Copy Cat" tag, and that they did!

Perhaps the most exciting part of this is how heavily involved QNS was in the creation of this device and that Blackberry is FINALLY adopting a new OS! What this means for the mobile users here is yet to be seen, but I can only imagine good things!

The Blackberry PlayBook is expected to be available in retail outlets and through other channels in the United States in early 2011 with roll outs in international markets beginning in Q2 of 2011.

More information as it becomes available. Who wants a PlayBook?!

Leaked: BlackBerry® Bold 9700 OS 5.0.0.938

Posted by LouiV


It has felt like an eternity for any OS love for those with a BlackBerry Bold 9700. Now OS 5.0.0.938 has dropped, which is a fairly decent step up from the last OS 5.0.0.862! We've also been told that this could possibly be the last OS 5 release before we see OS 6 for the 9700.

Upgred OS BlackBerry® ke versi Hybrid

Salam,

Sila baca & fahami langkah2 mengupgred os bb anda ke versi hybrid yang telah saya nyatakan dalam post2 sebelum ini.

Sekiranya anda tidak faham atau malas mengupgred sendiri, saya & co dengan berbesar hati menawarkan servis upgred os terkini + versi hybrid pada harga rm50/upgred. No diskaun kawan2.. :p

Namun, sebelum kami mengupgred bb anda, anda WAJIB memaklumkan pada kami samada bb anda pernah mengalami kerosakan akibat jatuh (sila baca posting sebelum ini mengenai trackpad bb gemini) ataupun buatan china(?!).. Ini kerana kami TIDAK AKAN menerima atau mengupgred bb anda kerana kami TIDAK MAHU bertanggungjawab sekiranya bb anda tidak berfungsi dengan baik selepas peng'upgred'an.

Sekiranya bb anda tidak mempunyai masalah, maka jangan bimbang untuk diupgred ke os hybrid kerana setakat ini, semua bb yang telah diupgred tidak mempunyai masalah & pengguna2 bb amat berpuas hati! :)

Sila hubungi saya di sharq_79@yahoo.com.sg atau 013-8843017 untuk maklumat lanjut. ^_^

Hybrid vs Official OS

I've been hearing and reading around that there could be a possibility that your service provider locks the network down to specific versions of OS's on your Blackberry.

If you're Blackberry works fine before the hybrid, and you get an invalid SIM afterwards, that could be the problem.

If you've got sometime to play around, I would suggest trying the hybrid install again, without shrinking anything out of the OS.  Ensure the vendor.xml has been deleted.  Also, try out the capabilities of the Blackberry prior to restoring your backup.  I know without the backup restored, you will not having any service books.  Resend them to your device via BIS (through the internet) or Email Settings (through the app on your device).

How to wipe my blackberry device (Hybrid installation)

This is how I wipe my device. Make sure you have backup all of your data and 3rd party apps before doing any wiping.   

Step 1:
Security wipe is done by using your BB. Go to options, security options, security wipe, and check the first 2 options but the media card (unless you want it to) and type "blackberry" and click wipe.

Step 2:
After you have wiped your device, plug your device to your PC and use BBSAK to wipe it again. 

Once you see the error message on your device, you can now load the new OS as you normally do.

I hope this help to those who are confused about wiping your device.
