Yesterday was a big day for RIM, now officially called BlackBerry. In case you missed what happened, you can check out our wrap-up here.

The reason I said that is because it is not placed alongside the rest of its dessert themed brethren, but rather, looms above those who walk under it, albeit it does look somewhat friendly with an outstretched arm.

What could be better than to reflect the name of your product to your actual brand name? ”We have transformed ourselves inside and out, and we have defined a revision, a dedication to the boundless opportunities in mobile computing,” Heins said. “Our customers use BlackBerry. Our employees work for BlackBerry, and our shareholders are owners of BlackBerry. From today on, we are BlackBerry everywhere in the world.”
Pocket-Lint has just dropped quite the bombshell – that South Korean consumer electronics giant Samsung will skip Mobile World Congress 2013 that is happening in Barcelona, Spain, next month. From what we gather, Samsung will still have a showfloor presence, but they will showcase no new products that are special to them. In a nutshell, you will not find the flagship Samsung Galaxy S4 make an appearance then, and according to whispers on the grapevine, the Galaxy S4 is tipped for a March 2013 event instead.
