Awhile back, my buddy Al did a roundup of some of the most extreme pimping of BlackBerrys you can find - diamonds, gold, leather you name it. A cool novelty, no doubt, but what about Joe Everymanpimp? Is there not something for the common BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) Mack Daddy in a cubic zirconia, pleat...

Last night, blackberry.com/appworld went live, including notification page so you can get e-mailed when their new on-device software distribution channel goes live, as well as a handy FAQ answering a lot of questions. The one that’s garnering the most attention is their pricing structure, abov...

We had seen a few pictures of the next Android handset informally dubbed the G2, but now Vodafone (NYSE: VOD) and HTC have gone official with the European launch of the Magic.
