BlackBerry CEO Optimistic That Handset Business Will Be Profitable By 2015

BlackBerry CEO Optimistic That Handset Business Will Be Profitable By 2015BlackBerry CEO John Chen has gone through the usual misquote train in recent times, where he had to step forward to deny that the BlackBerry handset division might go on sale. Well, I suppose the next best thing he could have done would have been to reassure investors as well as long time supporters of BlackBerry that the division would start to make money – at least in the near and immediate future. Check out what John Chen shared right after the jump.

    Amazon Appstore Surpasses 200k Apps Milestone

    Amazon Appstore Surpasses 200k Apps Milestone“Do not despise small beginnings” is a pearl of wisdom that is definitely worth holding on to. After all, even the biggest tree grew from a small seed, and hence, app stores that are now a staple in modern day society started off with just a handful of apps submitted. Having said that, Amazon’s Appstore has grown over time to finally touch the 200k apps milestone, at least according to the company’s annual report. In there, we still have absolutely no idea on the number of Kindle eReaders or Kindle Fire tablets that were sold in the previous 12 months, or the total number of people who placed an order for the recently announced Amazon Fire TV.

    Still, it is nice to see the company trumpet some of their successes, which will include a million people having joined the Amazon prime program during the third week of December, where this would bring the total number of subscribers into the “tens of millions.” Apart from that, the Amazon Appstore is also now available to customers in over 200 countries with a choice of more than 200,000 apps to pick from.

    Do bear in mind that when compared to the likes of the Google Play Store, 200k is a pittance, since that happens to be under the 20% mark of the number of apps that the Google Play Store carries. Still, this is a decent and encouraging start for Amazon that bodes well for its future, do you not think so?

    ASUS Transformer Book T100 Receives CPU Upgrade

    ASUS Transformer Book T100 Receives CPU UpgradeWhen it comes to hybrid devices like the ASUS Transformer Book T100, you know that they are something special, although these devices will not end up creating a whole new genre of products that look set to take the world by storm – it seems that folks still like their notebooks to be, well, notebooks, and keep their tablet lifestyle separate. After all, it is pretty difficult to achieve a balance between portability and performance in a hybrid when you take the convenience factor into consideration. Having said that, the ASUS Transformer Book T100 that was released in the second half of 2013 has just been given a speed bump thanks to the inclusion of an even faster processor.
