Verizon offers BlackBerry users a better way to get songs on their devices. The $49.99 microSD card comes pre-loaded with 1,000 MP3s and boasts an additional 4GB of storage. The Billboard HITS and Billboard DECADES cards are loaded up with 8 preset “handcrafted playlists” and make it easy as can be for you to listen to music on your device. Just pop in the slotRadio+ card, fire up your media player and you’re done. The catch seems to be that you can’t play the songs in any order you want – you have to use the preset playlists, and cannot shuffle or rearrange anything. Still, you’ll have some More >

WhatsApp uses the phone numbers in your address book and works over your data plan, so you won’t incur any additional SMS charges, aside from the $2.99 purchase price.

How about a BlackBerry Tablet? The idea doesn’t seem so far fetched, especially with the obvious large amount of BlackBerry subscribers today. As most of you know, the iPad which was officially announced today has some flaws itself. As the commercial and previews seemed amazing, it has some flaws.

RIM could develop a quite competitive tablet to compete with Apple’s eye catching yet lousy spec’d iPad. Wireless connectivity (OTA) is a must. A Flash enabled web browser is a necessity. Websites should come up on the tablet as they do on any PC or Mac. How about More >

Not long ago there were rumors of BIS 3.0 and 3.1 bringing a bunch of highly anticipated changes. And, now BBLeaks is saying that there are a few more additions we can expect as well.

  • Support For OpenOffice Documents – Presentations, Text documents and spreadsheets
  • Support for WMA (Windows Media Audio)

OpenOffice is an interesting idea, though we’re not quite sure how much market space OpenOffice has for users. Of course, these are just rumors at this time but rumors that make sense given what they bring to the platform.
