BLACKBERRY

comScore has the latest stats for the fierce smartphone OS war. Google's Android is still number one and Apple is still improving. RIM's Blackberry, however, is hurting badly.

Google's Android phones continued its march to dominance. For the three months ended May 2011, it has 38 percent of the US smartphone market share, up from 33 percent in February 2011.

AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) announced that it will finally support Research In Motion Ltd.'s (NASDAQ: RIMM) BlackBerry Bridge for the PlayBook. While access to information of a BlackBerry will come at no extra cost, AT&T plans to charge $20 per month for tethering to access web content.

Apple could launch an unlocked version of iPhone 4S with prepaid voice offering.

Fall is approaching and if rumors are true we can expect to see Apple's next generation tablet the iPad 3 hitting stores in September. The iPads have dominated the tablet scene since its release in April 2010 by owning 82% of the US market. Apple's iPad 3 release is expected to strengthen that number though a batch of next generation competing tablets plans to reverse that trend.

iPhone 5, Apple’s next generation iphone is already facing a lot of competition from the bunch of Android powered smartphones.

As Samsung Galaxy S2 is gaining credibility and good reviews in other parts of the world, the US market is still waiting for its arrival.

Apple iPad 2, the king of the current tablet war, has choked its upcoming competitor Amazon tablets by blockading them even before the battle has begun.

After a delay of more than two months, AT&T Inc has agreed to support BlackBerry maker Research In Motion Ltd's Bridge application, which lets BlackBerry users see email and other services on RIM's PlayBook tablet without incurring additional charges.

The BlackBerry, once ubiquitous in business, faces deep challenges in that market as more companies allow employees to pick their own smartphones and add third-party security applications.

A number of RIM employees are taking to the web, via anonymous letters, to complain about the company's recent struggles.

A consortium consisting of Apple Inc. (AAPL), EMC Corp. (EMC), Ericsson, Microsoft Corp. (MSFT), Research In Motion (RIM) and Sony Corp. (SNE) paid $4.5 billion for the patent portfolio of Bankrupt Canadian telecom group Nortel Networks Corp.

Good news for Apple fans - according to a Nielsen survey of mobile customers in the U.S., Apple's iPhone has seen a sharp spurt in growth despite rival Android platform still being the most popular choice among smartphone users.

Recent numbers from Nielsen may be suggesting Google's Android isn't growing at same pace it once was.

Apple iPhone 2, once called the king of tablets, is now facing stiff challenges from its rival in what is being billed as a tablet war.

Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. (NASDAQ:NWS) sold Myspace to ad network Specific Media for $35 million, a far cry from its 2007 valuation of $12 billion, and the $100 million News Corp was expecting from the sale.

Apple iPhone has been ruling the smartphone jungle for quite some time and the launch of the next generation iPhone (dubbed iPhone 5) is expected to consolidate its position but could a slew of new Android smartphones set for launch later this year upset its dominance?

Not a single day passes without a new rumor regarding the launch date of Apple's next generation iPhone. Apple fans are not exactly pleased at the long silence from Apple, but apparently the company is only safe-guarding its business interests. Since the sales of their existing iPhone isn't slowing down, it is logical to think that Apple would want to wait and get the most out of iPhone 4.

Five reasons research in motion, maker of the Blackberry smartphone will die, losing to Apple and Google once and for all.
