RIM shot by wavering BlackBerry owners iPhone owners are more loyal to their chosen handset than Android fans are to theirs.…

The trouble couldn’t come at a worse time for Research in Motion, as the handset maker faces a shrinking market share and agitated investors.

What open source software for PDAs/smart phones (like Blackberry )is best for student attendance monitoring/tracking?

Any specific/brand of software? Or any possible specific hardware for that software?

It certainly isn't the sort of press that RIM wants: more than 900 of its brand-new BlackBerry PlayBook tablets have been recalled.

Shares of Research in Motion tumbled Friday after the BlackBerry maker shocked investors late Thursday when it predicted softer-than-expected sales of its flagship phone, forcing the company to chop its own targets.

Emirati authorities are pushing ahead with plans to impose tighter government restrictions on the most secure BlackBerry service next week, according to the CEO of one of the Gulf nation's phone companies.

RIM launched the BlackBerry PlayBook on Tuesday, April 19. The question remains: who will buy the unfinished device, which doesn't even have calendar, email, and contacts apps yet?

As has been long suspected, RIM has confirmed that its upcoming BlackBerry PlayBook tablet will have the ability to run both Java and Android apps.

That functionality, however, will only be available once RIM releases two "players," which will arrive in the summer.

The mystery is over, as RIM announced on Tuesday that pricing for their QNX-based BlackBerry PlayBook 7-inch tablet will start at $499 and ramp up from there for 16GB, 32GB ($599), 64GB models ($699).

These are all wi-fi only models, so the device pricing is identical to that of the wi-fi only iPad 2 for similar storage tiers.
