A three-day disruption of BlackBerry services spread to North America on Wednesday, frustrating millions of users of the Research In Motion smartphones and putting more pressure on the company for sweeping changes.

A three-day disruption of BlackBerry services spread to North America on Wednesday, frustrating millions of users of the Research In Motion smartphones and putting more pressure on the company for sweeping changes.

BlackBerry service to Research in Motion customers in North America was disrupted Wednesday, adding to problems in the troubled developer’s European, Middle East and African markets.

A three-day disruption to BlackBerry services spread to North America on Wednesday, frustrating users of the Research In Motion devices just two days before rival Apple's new iPhone 4S goes on sale.

Steve Jobs represented a lot of things but innovation, capitalism, and the American Dream will resound as his legacy.

Apple may have disappointed its consumers last Tuesday when it failed to announce the launch of the iPhone 5, but the Apple hype is back up as the company released its highly anticipated Apple IOS 5 operating system on Wednesday.

Yes, the iPhone 4S was just not the brightest moment for Apple, but what has turned out eventually is all those, who predicted an epic fail, were forced to shut their mouth by the record breaking pre-order sales of the new iPhone.

The question of the day among Apple users: When and how to get Apple iOS 5, the company's new operating system.

Apple Inc.'s iPhone 4S, which was unveiled on Oct. 4, will be hitting the stores on Oct. 14. The smartphone from Apple is going to face a tight competition with Motorola Droid Bionic.

If Apple truly is “insanely great” as co-founder Steve Jobs would have it, the availability of iOS 5 could be his true will and testament. It's a gigantic effort to seal loyalties of as many as 250 million global customers who will upgrade their current products, then set the stage for the roll-out of iPhone 4S, prospective iPhone 5, iPads and more.

Apple has set its release date and time for the iOS 5 upgrade to 10 a.m. PDT Wednesday, or 1 p.m. ET. Here's what to expect.

Apple's iOS 5 will be released on Wednesday, and the new iPhone operating system, with its 200 new features, is already being hailed as one of the biggest and best innovations in mobile technology to date. But, Apple is actually hurting Internet innovation and frustrating Web developers.

Apple Inc.'s iOS 5 operating system, which will power iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPod touch 3rd generation, iPod touch 4th generation, iPad, iPad 2 and iPhone 4S, is going live from Wednesday.

Service was briefly restored on Tuesday for a few hours, but then disrupted once again.

Apple iPhone 4S (the 16GB version) was launched for pre-orders last Friday and recorded over 1 million pre-orders in a single day breaking the record of 600,000 set by iPhone 4. The 32 and 64 GB versions are also sold out at four sites and are only available at Sprint.

Millions of BlackBerry users around the world were left without text communication services for a third day on Wednesday as Research in Motion struggled to fix what it said was a switching failure in its private network.

Barclays Capital said the pace of iPhone 4S roll-out is fastest in the iPhone's history and points to a big December quarter push for Apple Inc.

Apple Inc. will hold a memorial service for it co-founder and former Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Steve Jobs, on Oct. 19. The event will be held at an amphitheater at the company's corporate headquarters, according to a memo sent by CEO Tim Cook to employees on Monday.

Apart from the Macintosh, iMac, iTunes, iPod, iPhone and iPad, Steve Jobs was also known for his signature dressing style.

Apple's newest mobile Operating System, the iOS 5, launches Wednesday with an exhaustive list of 200-plus new features.

An Australian court will hand down its judgment on Thursday on Apple's request to ban the sale of Samsung Electronic's latest tablet computer in Australia.
