REDFLY Mobile Companion Now Available for BlackBerry
Susan first talked about the REDFLY Mobile Compinon a few months ago, and now REDFLY is finally available for BlackBerry. The REDFLY Companion features no OS, storage, or processor.

BlackBerry Security And SMobile, What You Should Know
There’s been so much about security and spyware, I thought I’d present some facts. And to start with, I’m going to point out that it specifically states in the End User License for the BlackBerry App Store that BlackBerry does not warrant its uses against infection from viruses, spyware, or trojans.

PhoneSnoop, Spyware, And You
There’s been so much in the news about the PhoneSnoop, FlexiSPY, and other spyware. It’s bad when even the US-Cert (United States Computer Emergency Response Team) and CNet are alerting smartphone users about it. Cyber stalking is taking on a new meaning with phones, but what’s the big deal and why should you care? There [...]
