Year of BlackBerry 10 - are you satisfied? - Money.pl

2014-01-30 15:29

Author: Peter Barycki

NOTE: Due to the bad inserted tag entry display only the introduction, without all the rest of the content, including … questions. The problem has been solved.

today marks exactly one year from the conference, which for the first time officially presented the new operating system and two new BlackBerry smartphones. Since that time has changed so much that even our review OS 10, written in February, has little to do with the current situation.

day after the release of the Z10 hit the first stores in the UK, and a few weeks later to virtually all operators in Poland. And although I never really became a hit in our country, the number of people who have it “from the news” is quite large. Then came the time to meet the needs of fans of physical QWERTY keyboard in the best edition – Q10, with the release of slightly cheaper – Q5 and the needs of enthusiasts phabletów – Z30. After canceling Z5/Z20 and Q6 BlackBerry portfolio in the last 12 months so I closed the four basic models.

most important question, however, is this: If I bought at that time smartphone with BlackBerry 10, that he has met your requirements and whether they met any updates?

With the majority of the problems, which could be expected, probably reconciled themselves before buying, hoping that it will be resolved with subsequent updates. Some have already been removed, some probably still stands. But after a month, two or twelve, you are able to say that Z10/Z30/Q10/Q5 fully meet your expectations, and you are able to recommend it to others or completely disappoint you or … failed to convince like to purchase and / or replacement of the older model BlackBerry

The relationship of the BlackBerry 10 launch in London can be found here, while the previous year, including the development of BlackBerry 10 partly described here.

Happy BlackBerry 10! :-)

No BBM for Windows Phone is now caused only a matter of its market share. On this basis we decided to focus initially only on Android and iOS – this way David Proulx commented on the absence of the BlackBerry mobile messaging platform for Microsoft.

Proulx noted that the BBM support for other platforms do not decide other factors than just the popularity of the system. If any other system will start to gain real importance (in terms of user base) on the market, the BlackBerry will also prepare a special edition for him. It is really important who is its author, although it is easy to guess that this race will not be over the next few years, too many players.

Vulnerability in Adobe Flash threat to the elderly ... - Money.pl

2014-01-15 15:23

Author: Peter Barycki

Adobe Flash has always been famous for causing numerous problems related to safety and is no different in this case. Users who still have not updated their smartphones with OS10 and the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet, you should do this as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the vast majority do not have the slightest reason to panic. The problem concerns the version of the BlackBerry 10 older than 10.1.0.1880 (excluding 10.1.0.1880) and PlayBook OS older than 2.1.0.1753 (excluding 2.1.0.1753).

addition, the software in these releases was available only for the first smartphones with OS10, ie Q10 and Z10, which have already received the relevant updates from all operators. The only reason why they can still continue to use the older version is deliberately withholding use of updating or corporate network administrator’s decision (which probably will allow a long time for an update).

fault has been determined on a scale CVSS at 6.8 point and in the case of a successful attack, the need to download or run a Flash object on a device with an older version of the system theoretically allows for remote code execution on our smartphone and tablet.

If you have not installed a newer version than 10.1.0.1880 (BB10) or 2.1.0.1753 (PlayBook OS), it is recommended to disable the use of Adobe Flash in the browser.

How the iPhone, without the keyboard. BlackBerry is suing the company ... - Wyborcza.biz

Apple is in this conflict observer, though the iPhone appears in the background. Main battle court, if there is no settlement, will take place between BlackBerry (formerly Research in Motion) and the company Typo Products LLC. Publicity gives it the fact that one of its founders, Ryan Seacrest, American TV celebrity, known for his pursuit of the “American Idol”.

QWERTY discord

And went on the keyboard. In December, the company Typo announced that it will soon present a self-created electronic overlay. It’s a case with a keyboard, compatible with iPhones 5 S and C – can be applied to the touch screen. Already coming order. The price is 99 dollars., About 300 z?. The snag is that the keyboard resembles a known solution already known from previous BlackBerry phones.

“flagrant violation” versus “checked patents”

– This is a flagrant violation of the company Typo against the classic BlackBerry keyboard. We will protect our intellectual property. Do not step down any company that copies our design – said in a statement Steve Zipperstein, head of the legal department BlackBerry. But did not provide information that a patent has been thoroughly broken.

What is the accused party? Not afraid of Canadian producer and says it will vigorously defend itself. – We checked patents. Above the keyboard are working for two years. We created it from scratch – said Laurence Hallier, chairman of Typo, quoted by “The Wall Street Journal”.

new drive

BlackBerry, albeit in a bad financial situation, I still can not forget about yourself. And proves that still did not give up. As we wrote in wyborcza.biz, the company plans to gradually recover shares in the respective markets. It is relatively strong in Indonesia, because first there will be a new budget smartphone codenamed Jakarta, developed in partnership with the largest electronics manufacturer in the world – Foxconn.

Money not arrive

Meanwhile, melt the Canadian company finances. BlackBerry announced the results for the last quarter of 2013 – 4.4 billion. under the dash. This is largely the result of a write-down of inventories. But apart from these one-off operations, the company and so ends in the red – 354 million dollars. For comparison: in the same period of 2012, the BlackBerry had a profit – $ 14 million. Low, but still. New CEO Jon Chen, who was replaced by Thorsten Heins November, is convinced that the company has a lot of work to rebuild the position, but it is doable. Heads continuously monitor what is right and what needs improvement. Therefore, as we wrote in wyborcza.biz, Alicia Keys dismissed, creative director responsible for improving sales results. And this lame. During the last quarter sold only 900 thousand. flagowców latest BlackBerry – Z10 and Z30.

Once appeared on the market one of the first smart watches, InPulse, it was obvious that it will be fully compatible with one of the most popular at the time, mobile systems – the BlackBerry. Unfortunately, times have changed and today virtually no manufacturer no longer offers official support for either the OS or for a later version – BB10. Users and independent developers are doing but how can you further proof is a client application for Qualcomm Toq.

therefore, that the official app for Android transferred to BlackBerry 10 is not working properly (the connection is possible, but then are transmitted no information), one of the developers decided to write its native counterpart. The result? It worked! For now, though supported only information about voice calls and other functions “may require a lot of work”, but since the first steps were taken, we can probably expect and the next.

For now, unfortunately, an interesting application called “BBQ” is unfortunately not publicly available, and probably we will have to wait a bit for it available in the BlackBerry World. If someone had thought about buying a watch from Qualcommu can not stop thinking about changing your phone with Z10, Q10 or other BlackBerry 10 device with Android.

Qualcomm Toq is now available in black for the price of $ 349. Soon to shop the company should also appear in white color variety and of course at the same price.

How the iPhone, without the keyboard. BlackBerry is suing the company ... - Gazeta Wyborcza

Apple is in this conflict observer, though the iPhone appears in the background. Main battle court, if there is no settlement, will take place between BlackBerry (formerly Research in Motion) and the company Typo Products LLC. Publicity gives it the fact that one of its founders, Ryan Seacrest, American TV celebrity, known for his pursuit of the “American Idol”.

QWERTY discord

And went on the keyboard. In December, the company Typo announced that it will soon present a self-created electronic overlay. It’s a case with a keyboard, compatible with iPhones 5 S and C can be applied to the touch screen. Already coming order. The price is 99 dollars. ie about 300 z?. The snag is that the keyboard resembles a known solution already known previous BlackBerry phones.

“flagrant violation” versus “checked patents”

– This is a flagrant violation of the company Typo against the classic BlackBerry keyboard. We will protect our intellectual property. Do not step down any company that copies our design – said in a statement Steve Zipperstein, head of the legal department BlackBerry.

As we wrote in wyborcza.biz, the company plans to gradually recover shares in the respective markets. It is relatively strong in Indonesia, because first there will be a new budget smartphone codenamed “Jakarta”, developed in partnership with the largest electronics manufacturer in the world – Foxconn.

Money is not growing

Meanwhile, melt the Canadian company finances. BlackBerry announced its results for the last quarter of 2013 – 4.4 billion. under the dash. This is largely the result of a write-down of inventories. But apart from these one-off operations – the company and so ends in the red – 354 million dollars. For comparison, in the same period of 2012, the BlackBerry had a profit – $ 14 million. Low, but still. The new CEO, Jon Chen, who was replaced by Thorsten Heins November is convinced that the company has a lot of work to rebuild the position, but it is doable. Heads continuously monitor what is right and what needs improvement. Therefore, as we wrote in wyborcza.biz, Alicia Keys dismissed, creative director responsible for improving sales results. And this lame. During the last quarter sold only 900 thousand. flagowców latest BlackBerry – Z10 and Z30.

Not long nacieszy? a Typo, producer of “innovative” keyboard for the iPhone, with Ryan Seacrest million grant. With a fairly obvious reasons, the project became interested in the legal department BlackBerry, resulting in today’s lawsuit for infringement of intellectual property.

Steve Zipperstein, CLO Canadian company stated explicitly that the product is Typo from scratch shameless copy of the legendary QWERTY keyboard used by the BlackBerry and the company aims at all costs to defend their property. Interestingly, Zippersten announced that the company “has nothing against the introduction of the BlackBerry keyboard to other devices,” but it must do so with the permission of its creators and adequate financial compensation.

At first glance, it is hard not to notice that the “inspiration” keyboard with Q10 in this case exceeded the bounds of decency, not to mention the fact that such products are made from all years and suffered a devastating defeat . The same will probably be this time for one simple reason – such addition does not make much sense, in the form presented by Typo is completely free.
