BGR Radio: Episode 1 Part 2
We’re back with the second half of the segment! We explore RIM’s outages, their network infrastructure, and the recent 4.5 OS. We also jump into BES 5.0, OS 5.0, a BlackBerry Browser with WebKit, and more BlackBerry 9000 info. Oh yeah, can’t forget the iPhone SDK either. Ch-ch-check it out below!
P.S. Depending on the feedback we get, we’ll continue doing this. Anything in particular you’d like covered in future episodes?
Bgr radio is the shit. Keep it up, ill keep downloading via iphone. How about next up you talk about how Danger inc is wack and lost their innovative touch with this outaded shitty lx (that I shamefully have and am typing on right now) and wtf microsoft is gonna do with them. That’d be nice.
The music is great btw, one of my fav songs of kanye…”easy come easy go everywhere I go” gots me singing the lyrics…. I guess you have to like the song to actually enjoy the “broadcast”. I thought it was a great touch, but obviously not for everyone else thought the same.
The one talking is BG lol.
I love this idea, Boy Genius your doing your thing. Keep it up man! I think a good topic would be all the iPhone competitors that are trying hard to gain the marketshare and popularity that the iPhone has. Also I think that the Sprint Everything Plan should be talked about and what other companies need to do to stay in competition with Sprint.
no one is really competing with sprint though they gotta fix themselves internally first
furthermore lol @ bgr trashing rim
I say keep it rolling along, and please add this to itunes it will make offering a full podcast more accessible to others and keep on the BB info along with other great relevant tech and WinMobile side.
Keep em comin BG…loved the the intro one the first half I cut it down and made a ringtone out that shit, all day long my BB was sayin “BGR Radio..Bitches” lmao!! But please lets not cut em in 2 parts unless of course ur gonna up the second part the same day
th music lowes he voice quality an distracts from the topicat hand
asfor the new os right on the moey about the media features> heres what i wann know>
when sun stops suporing java in a few years WTF is rim going to do?
the main complaint i hera form peole using winmo looking atrims os is it’s nothing more than over glorified java winmo is coded with PSK.
as to your question why there are nt better games this awnser is easy.
1 coding in java for gmes is a pain an it has limitations.
2 the displays on rim hardware seem not only to be utilzed but under performing
the reson most game develoers havn’t moved to the mobile platform it that rims handset display can only pull 15 Frames per second.
If you wnat o god a decnt game your video hardware on the device would have to pull at least 30 frames per second caous at 15 it looks real slow and choppy.
heck id love to se finl fantasy 1- and 2 on a blackberry but the refresh rate just isn’t there.
Love it!
Great show – thanks. A couple of comments:
It would help if you could tighten it up a little – maybe starting with less delay on your connection. Were you doing the call on your BB? Also i know its supposed to be conversational – not an interview – but it gets frustrating when you answer your own questions and cut off answers after asking something.
Finished part two and as already noted by others please put them into one part, iTunes is not necessary we can all just copy it into our iPods. But that background music gets very distracting and annoying.
Overall it was great to hear the radiocast.
very fresh podcast. Only wished it was a little longer, maybe atleast 40 mins. like end of week wrap up. the background track was a nice touch, maybe mix it with another track as well. But get it longer and this will be something i will be looking out for on itunes on the weekly!
Did I miss it or did they mention anything about why RIM doesn’t run GSM and CMDA dev in parallel?
And yes I know, GSM = more networks
I would like to hear something about that next time!
Awesome work!
@Adam, in asking the same question to both RIM and Verizon reps, I have received a few different responses. RIM says that their focus is to address demand, both domestic US and worldwide. While the GSM footprint is roughly equal to CDMA domestically, it is vastly larger worldwide, thus the time and money will be spent there. Verizon says they continually complain not just to RIM but to all manufacturers and little to nothing changes, so they spend their money on the networks rather than attempting to bribe manufacturers into making devices for their network first.
Things will change in the future, obviously. Qualcomm will be launching an HSPA/EVDO 4G chipset later this year will be backwards compatible on both sides of the playing field (think of a major upgrade over their current-gen hybrid chipset that works with GSM/EVDO in the BB 8830). Some manufacturers may decide to use it as opposed to the Intel chipsets. We’ll see.
