WE ARE ALREADY TIRED OF BBM FOR ANDROID/iOS

its been almost three months since Blackberry announced that their proprietary BBM messaging service would be made available to other platforms, Android and iOS especially. we haven't stopped salivating at the possibilities this could bring of course there's already a variety of cross-platform Messaging Services available of which Whatsapp is king, we can not stop thinking about what this would mean for android, IOS and blackberry users alike.

I switched over from blackberry since Samsung released the Galaxy S II and i have not looked back, sure recent developments have made me cast a longing look at blackberry's latest offerings but I have remained adamant and my faith was strengthened when it was announced that BBM might be coming to Android this summer. Making the jump from one platform to the other was a hard decision for me because i had most of my friends and social contacts on BBM and most of them were not yet seeing the green light that was Android or should i say Samsung.You can't imagine the joy i must have felt when i heard there might be an opportunity to re-unite with my long lost contacts, i still have a blackberry account and I backed up my contacts before i discarded my Curve. I have been waiting to jump back on the BBM bandwagon without necessarily having to switch from Android to blackberry again but i am already sick of waiting.

Sources have it that BBM would be released before the end of september and its already in its beta testing stage but would it be greeted with the same enthusiasm as it had received when it was announced because i think people are already bored of waiting, besides there are lots of other apps that do what BBM does and do it even better, Viber for instance allows users to make free calls amongst themselves irrespective of locations or network so BBM will really need to be impressive to succeed although they have features that other apps do not have such as video chatting over wifi and BBM channels still they need to release the application as soon as possible before people get over the anxiety all together. These are just my own thoughts on the issue, if you feel otherwise you can leave a comment in the comment section, do you think Blackberry should still share BBM to other platforms or they should just leave it on their BB10 ecosystem ?

A CLOSER LOOK AT THE iPHONE 5S FINGERPRINT SCANNER

Biometrics have become a part of our daily lives in many ways than one and to have them on our smartphones wouldn't be such a bad idea. Apple as its their custom to set trends when it comes to revolutionary smartphone features and hardware have begun to chart this course, other manufactures such as Samsung have flirted with the idea with rumours that we might be getting a fingerprint scanner on the Galaxy Note III set to be announced later in Q4 of this year but they have since rescinded that decision for logistics reasons. Apple can barely hide developments they are working on these days, different information about the upcoming iPhone 5S and 5C have leaked all over the internet, this is a new trend from Apple and i'm beginning to believe it might be a marketing stunt of some sort to get people excited about the phones, if that is their plan though i congratulate them because its working, i have been intrigued by the changes Apple recently brought to iOS 7 , the new featu...

I recently walked into a store at the computer village in Ikeja,Lagos and i saw people huddled around a manufacturers cubicle testing out a new phone, i was amazed to find out it was a Tecno phone that drew such a crowd, not just any Tecno "Kpalasa" phone but a nice looking white device that could be easily mistaken for a samsung galaxy device or even HTC. The Tecno Phantom A1 was released a few weeks ago, it received rave reviews and was being compared to the Samsung Galaxy S3 its critically acclaimed as the best budget Smartphone in the market.
