RIM Explain BlackBerry Black Out

BlackBerry Bold.

RIM the company behind the BlackBerry has finally explained why BlackBerry users in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and India have not been able to use BlackBerry Messenger and other internet services.  RIM has said "The messaging and browsing delays being experienced by BlackBerry users in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, India, Brazil, Chile and Argentina were caused by a core switch failure within RIM's infrastructure,"

"Although the system is designed to failover to a back-up switch, the failover did not function as previously tested. As a result, a large backlog of data was generated and we are now working to clear that backlog and restore normal service as quickly as possible."  The statement ended with “We apologise for any inconvenience caused and will keep you informed”

BlackBerry Services have been disrupted for 2 days, let us know if you are still having problems with your BlackBerry, Tweet @leatstechcorner or go to our Facebook page, leave a comment below.

Steve Jobs Dies Age 56

Steve Jobs the Co-founder and former CEO of Apple has died aged 56. He had been suffering from pancreatic cancer for some time and it was because of this that he stepped down as CEO of Apple.  In his time at Apple he has revolutionised technology, coming up with the iPod, iPhone, iPad, and of course the Macintosh computers. Steve Jobs also co-founded Pixar Animation studios. Google paid tribute to Steve Jobs by putting Steve Jobs 1955-2005 at the bottom of their homepage. Apple has a huge picture of Steve Jobs followed by 1955-2011. Steve Wozniak said he will remember Steve for “knowing what made sense in a product” he also described him as a “visionary”. Steve Jobs will be sorely missed, a grave loss to the tech world.

Apple Announces iPhone 4s

Apple's iPhone 4S

Apple has unveiled the iPhone 4S at their Let’s Talk iPhone event.  It will feature the same processor as the iPad2 and upgraded ram. To the disappointment of myself and a lot of tech community Apple did not announce the iPhone 5, the iPhone 4 has instead been upgraded and redesigned. Apple has done this before, with the iPhone 3G and then later the 3GS was released so this is nothing new.  The Screen is the same size as before (3.5inch) and features the same high resolution touch screen but has an upgraded A5-processor. What do you think of the 4S let us know.
