Maybe Palm’s head-honcho wasn’t bluffing when he was talking about focusing on improving Palm instead of selling it to the highest bidder. Word from the Boy Genius Report via a helpful-hinter has Palm developing a version of the Palm OS that is based on a Linux Modular monolithic kernel. Details are sparse (what’s [...]

Break out the violins, pals. I’m going to depress you with more talk about us Canadians and the battle we’ve got going on with the data pricing available to us. Fellow blogger and fellow Canadian Thomas Purves has just pieced together a nice little package for us to give a once over in [...]

I don’t know if it is (I hope not, at least), but Phil Wolff over at the Skype Journal appears to disagree.

Looks like our boys in blue have done it again. Even with the bad news that was their Q2 results from late last September, analysts are still saying that RIM will be looking at strong year-end results.
