Well, that was quick. Mere hours after holding a press conference stating that it didn’t know when BlackBerry users would have their BBM, internet, and email working again, services have begun to come back online.

The app reflected the minimal, simplistic design of the Twitter website, with obvious buttons, an always-present tweet box, and nice, easy-to-read text. But I was also confused.

The rumours of a RIM BlackBerry with both a hybrid and touchscreen have gained greater weight thanks to a new analyst note. Chris Umiastowski from TD Newcrest has written that the new device would have the BlackBerry Storm-like clickable screen as well as a physical keyboard, which would be an odd experience.

Catching Google Umiastowski also noted that the WebKit browser RIM is working, after buying out developer Torch, is progressing well, enabling [...]

Motorola has filed a complaint over RIM’s BlackBerry range, claiming they infringe a number of patents it holds. The case has been filed with the International Trade Commission in the US, and Moto is looking to block RIM from importing what it calls ‘infringing products’. The patents relate to Wi-Fi access, application and power management, and even the UI – which would be strange given Motorola’s clunky interface, but we assume there must be some good elements it believes RIM has nabbed. The litigation is ongoing, but Motorola believes there time has come to bring [...]
