  • RIM sells 100 millionth BlackBerry, hints at two more devices in the near future

    RIM sells 100 millionth BlackBerry, hints at two more devices in the near future

    Say what you will about BlackBerrys -- although with the Bold 9800 slider and OS 6, things might be looking up -- Research in Motion is still doing strong in the pocketbooks. The company just released its first fiscal quarter 2011 results with revenue growth of 24 percent year-over-year, and here's the rounded-number kicker: its 11.2 million shipments of smartphones this quarter has raised total shipments to over 100 million BlackBerrys. Quite a feat, but enough chit chat about the past -- what does the future hold? In a conference call pertaining to the fiscal results, RIM alluded to two new devices shipping soon, with one for the summer and one closer to fall. We'd bet a pretty penny one of them is the aforementioned slider, but as for the second? Guess we'll just wait and see.

    Apple suggesting you head into a store if things aren’t working out online

    Oh, to be tapped into the conference call going on between Apple's and AT&T's server tech teams right now!

    Update: Seems folks have been seeing this message intermittently since the wee hours -- first time we've seen it here, but then again, we've seen no fewer than five or six unique failure modes today. Quite a sight.

  • Murata’s paper-thin waterproof speaker perfect for phones, pool parties

    Murata’s paper-thin waterproof speaker perfect for phones, pool parties

    Waterproof phones are few and far between stateside, but in Japan, they're pretty common -- and hey, who wouldn't like to be able to safely take that two-hour conference call from the comfort of your bubble bath? To that end, Murata is touting its new ultra-thin piezoelectric speaker that clocks in at just 0.9mm thick while maintaining IPX7 compliance for water resistance. It's said that waterproof phones are traditionally made by covering speaker holes with a film, compromising sound quality -- but with Murata's design, no film is necessary, offering you that symphony hall-style audio you so desperately need from sixteen inches under the surface of your swirling hot tub. Party on!

    Activision calls DJ Hero but a ‘first step’ in expanding the music game genre beyond rock

    Here's comes another DJ Hero story. Activision called the game's launch “successful” at a conference call yesterday, saying that the game represents a “first step toward diversifying beyond rock” and into other genres, like hip hop and electronic music. In other words, the game's soft sales aren't necessarily a cause for alarm (if you were ever concerned in the first place).

  • AT&T Mobility CEO suggests iPhone exclusivity will end… sometime

    AT&T Mobility CEO suggests iPhone exclusivity will end… sometime

    Filed under: , ,

    Well, it's not much, but AT&T Mobility CEO Ralph de la Vega doesn't exactly have to go too far out on a limb to attract attention when he's talking about something as big as an end to iPhone exclusivity. His latest, and seemingly most extensive ruminations on the matter came during a conference call with analysts this week, where he reportedly said that AT&T has a "legacy of having a great portfolio...that will continue after the iPhone is no longer exclusive to us," and that he thinks AT&T's ability to drive results "will continue after the iPhone." He did seem to dial things back a bit later in the call, however, switching to langauge like "even if we lose exclusivity" instead of "after the iPhone," and going on to extol the virtues of the iPhone, noting that "others will try to emulate them [Apple], but that device by far is the best in terms of ease of use."

    In January of 2008, Garmin announced the Nuvifone. They were a bit light on details at the time (Who would offer it? How much would it cost?) but promised that it would be on the shelves by the third quarter of the same year. Well, that quarter passed. Then the next one. Jump forward a few [...]

  • First Rule Of Apple Earnings Calls: You Do Not Talk About The $99 iPhone

    First Rule Of Apple Earnings Calls: You Do Not Talk About The $99 iPhone

    When Apple announced that it would start selling the iPhone 3G for $99 at this year's WWDC conference, the room buzzed about the possibility. Finally, there would really be an iPhone for under $100. And so not surprisingly, everyone wants to know how it's selling. But don't bother asking Apple about it, because you'll get nothing from them, as we learned on the company's earnings conference call today. Multiple questions were asked of Apple COO Tim Cook about how the $99 iPhone, specifically, was selling. His response? The vague note that the entire iPhone line has seen a "big acceleration in total unit sales." Cook said Apple will not offer a breakdown of how the different version are selling because it's competitive data. But wait, they've broken them up in the past. Just three days after the iPhone 3GS launch, Apple announced that iPhone 3GS-specific sales had hit a million. Obviously, there's a reason to do that; it's an impressive number. But along those lines, you can't help but wonder if Apple is being coy simply because the $99 sales aren't very good? Certainly, it seems like a great deal, but in reality, the monthly bills of the iPhone 3G and 3GS are the same, so it's basically the difference between $100 to $200 in upfront costs.
