17 Sep 11 BlackBerry PlayBook Price Cuts Down to $249
The mobile platform has undergone a huge change in recent years. Mobile platforms such as Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android have cornered the world market. This has made it hard for other competitors to sell their products. As a Canadian telecommunication and wireless device company, RIM is best known as the developer of the BlackBerry smart phone. However, the company is now in a rather tough situation. The blooming of Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android has made RIM lose its market share quickly.
Still remember the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet? It is equipped with a lot of excellent features, such as a 1GHz Dual-core processor, a battery life up to 8 hours and a 7-inch screen with 1024×600 pixels. To be mentioned, the tab only weighs 0.9 pounds. And there are lots of positive reviews about the tab. We all suppose it will be a smashing success. However, it fails to impress customers and is seen lackluster sales.
Earlier, we mentioned that in order to boost the sales, RIM was pondering lowering down the price of BlackBerry PlayBook tablet. But we are not quite sure about the how much money they were going to cut. And today we have the news from BGR that the cheapest price of the device will be $249. This price tag is especially for the 16GB WiFi only model while price tags of other versions are still kept the same. As the price lowered down, more and more customer can afford the device and the sales number increases quickly.
We do hope that the new price tag bring success to the BlackBerry PlayBook. But at this moment it is still hard to say if it is a good idea for RIM to increase its sales by lowering down the price. We will just have to wait and see.

09 Feb 11 SkinDisplay: Print World On your Finger
Did you ever think of printing words on your fingers? You may feel hurt when the idea flashes over your mind, which even reminds you of the Death by a Thousand Cuts, the notorious ancient Chinese torture method. Actually you can rest assured that the print on skin is the SkinDisplay concept from Vitamins Design which is designed to enable you to print messages directly on to your skin.
The concept has been backed up by an excellent engineers group, Research in Motion (RIM). It is the exact same group which design the BlackBerry smartphone, as well as the Royal College of Art’s Helen Hamlyn Center. To run in the frontier of technology with innovative ideas, the group has devoted to this project which many hard to be accepted by the mess currently. Besides that, the SkinDisplay also requires the physical support with the help of a phone which can see it translate digital code into small raised messages on the phone’s surface.
In case you ran out of paper in the emergency, with the SkinDisplay, you can press your finger against the raised message so that you can imprint needed message onto your skin on a temporary basis. From the picture in the right you can see the words are clearly printed on the finger. Doesn’t it beautiful? Of course, the whole process is painless. You do not have to worry about the potential danger it might being to you. Hopefully, a phone with such a interesting feature will come forth in the near future.
