We’re back with another episode of BGR Radio! This time we link up with fellow tech-fiend Just Blaze at Baseline Studios in New York. We did this around 3AM on Thursday morning, so forgive us if we’re not 100% on the ball. Well, what do we cover in this episode? Everything! We hit on the [...]

So you might have seen a couple things floating around on the BlackBerry 9000 lately. One of them is that Fortune recently went ahead and declared an August release for the device. The other is that a RIM "spokesperson" claims that the reason we’re now hearing battery life issues is because power management [...]

Ooooooooh Comcast. If there’s one person whose service you probably shouldn’t terminate without cause and who you shouldn’t made idle threats against, it’s probably Dave Winer. You know, the guy who invented blogging? Yesterday, Winer posted at length with regards to a recent ordeal with Comcast. To paraphrase, Comcast identified Winer as a customer using [...]

 
As a whole, CTIA today was a bit on the disappointing side. Sure there were a few exciting things debuted, most or all of which we’ve already told you about, of course. We were particularly disappointed with Motorola however, and not for the reason we expected to be. As we showed you in our post [...]

Sure, as far as the business of browsing is concerned Apple and Mozilla are competitors, but Mozilla CEO John Lilly makes a good point here. Apple’s attempts to sneak Safari for PC past unsuspecting updaters this past week is hardly the first time Apple has used tactics that some might consider to be less than [...]

 
The FCC is likely one of the most transparently corrupt government entities in this country. What’s worse, they can be bought cheap. Preferential treatment and approval fast-tracking as a result of underhanded dealings continued financial support is just another day at the office for the FCC. Likewise, companies posing a potential threat to FCC supporters [...]

Here at BGR headquarters, we love wireless industry analysts, especially those in the financial sector. Ray Sharma, of GMP Securites, LTD. has recently published his analysis of upcoming BlackBerry devices from Research In Motion, dubbed the Touchscreen 1.0 and Pearl 2.0. The label given to the latter device, one with a rotatable keyboard, should give the [...]

OK, seriously, stop. Stop rehashing old news which we exclusively broke and had the whole internet in a tizzy from. You’re not saying much that hasn’t been heard. In fact, you are a little misguided. Why? We heard Research In Motion is working on a touch screen device. That doesn’t mean the BlackBerry 9000 will [...]

Look at the picture, guys. That’s the face of the new Sidekick LX. And T-Mobz? You’ve honestly just lost all respect from us. Seriously, what in the hell were you thinking? Do you think this is "cool", "fresh", or "hot"? Apparently you do, and that’s the big problem — it’s not! No one identifies with [...]

What is the most hyped-up consumer device to ever launch? If you said the i-mate JAQ, you’re wrong. It’s the Apple iPhone, and it has taken the general public by storm. People who would normally never ever consider buying an Apple product have went out and bought one (believe me, I conned 6 non-Apple users [...]

At least you guys are smart. I am personally thrilled that you no longer make visitors enter a ZIP code before checking out the latest phones and devices on your website. Every carrier needs to follow suit! It just slows you down, and is unecessary. Give us a break. We love lusting after those brand new [...]

It was recently reported by BlackBerry Cool that the BlackBerry 8820, when released by AT&T, will have it’s GPS features neutered. They said it was being influenced by AT&T’s deal with Apple for the iPhone and even stating that T-Mobile’s launch of the BlackBerry 8820 (the same device, mind you) would be better. There has since been a follow-up story which says, [...]

Seriously. We couldn’t have made this one up…it’s that bad. German company Trekstor has just dropped a new DAP. Spec wise, this thing can certainly hold its own, sporting 2GB or 4GB of internal storage, a built in FM tuner, mini-USB jack , and a pretty sweet design aesthetic. It even comes bundled with a [...]
