The move affects mobile clients UberTwitter, Twidroyd and UberCurrent, meaning that BlackBerry users can now only the official Twitter app on their phone.

The violations include, but aren't limited to, a privacy issue with private Direct Messages longer than 140 characters, trademark infringement, and changing the content of users' Tweets in order to make money

Further clarification from UberMedia has confirmed that Echofon hasn't been affected as we previously reported, even though it's an UberMedia UberTwitter suspended, Uber, TweetDeck, HootSuite, Echofon product.

The Twitterverse is abuzz with news that Twitter suspended popular mobile apps such as UberTwitter, UberCurrent, and twidroyd today. The services had not recently changed anything about the functionality or behavior of the apps, which leads one to wonder why Twitter suddenly decided to shut them down.

The answer probably lies in Twitter's own business and revenue aspirations. Twitter has skyrocketed into the digital consciousness, and has become a staple of social networking and global communications. Third-party apps like the services shut down by Twitter today have contributed in no small measure to the growth and success of Twitter, but in order to monetize the service effectively, Twitter may be attempting to funnel more users through the actual Twitter site, and the official Twitter UberTwitter suspended, Uber, TweetDeck, HootSuite, Echofon apps.

Blackberry Future Concept - Blackberry Empathy

BlackBerry design which we know is quite typical. Wide-screen, trackpad or trackball navigation features, and the average comes with a Qwerty keypad. But, the concept of this one probably will make you stunned and did not previously suspected.

The concept of a BlackBerry Empathy that carried Kiki Tang and Daniel Yoon from Art Center College of Design is much different from the concept design of the BlackBerry is currently available.


At first glance Empathy BlackBerry phone comes with a physical interface resembles a crystal and a unique form of biometric ring that serves to collect emotional data. It works when you touch with your friends via instant messaging (IM) and social networking services like Facebook, Twitter, and the like.

"As seen, this concept offers a touch-screen technology. Uniquely, antarpengguna connections displayed graphically, so that users are permitted to see who is connected with whom," said Kiki, one of the designers Empathy, as quoted VIVAnews from CrackBerry.com, Tuesday, November 30 2010.

Each contact will have avatars, each circled the ring in two colors showing the emotional data. Of course, the color of the ring are influenced by emotions related contacts. For example, the colored ring that lies in part in the show's emotional before. While the outer ring indicates a person's emotional progress.

"It is interesting to know the changes in a person's emotions, even more so when they want to know his emotions change after seeing an event," said Kiki.

Another important feature is the Emotional Health Chart. This graph charts to monitor the health of a person emotionally in infinite time. One can see how an event, such as telephone calls, or receive a short message to affect the user's emotional. Happy, sad, angry, and so forth. If the graph shows someone is always unhappy, then maybe he is experiencing problems. If allowed, users can view graphs of other users as well.

The concept is really interesting. Although not yet known what kind of technology will support it. We're sure you were curious to see your mood in the ring, or to know your partner's mood when an event occurs. Let us wait whether this concept is really manifested by Research In Motion (RIM) or not.

Google Android Beating Down BlackBerry

Google's Android platform managed to shift the position of the operating system Blackberry in the smartphone OS competition. According to research firm Canalys, Android is now in second position or controlling 17 percent of smartphone software platforms market in the third quarter of this year.

Blackpad - Blackberry Tablet Launch on November

This is not surprising -- Research In Motion, stunned by Apple's success, now probably thinks it needs to do everything Apple does, just to keep on the curve. RIM (Research in Motion) is reportedly prepping a tablet computer dubbed "BlackPad" for its November debut.

BlackBerry maker Research In Motion, which still hasn't come up with a phone that can credibly compete with Apple's iPhone, is preparing a tablet computer to compete with Apple's iPad.

But we would be very surprised if RIM could put together a combination of hardware, software, pricing, and marketing that anyone would find compelling enough to buy instead of an iPad. So it's probably toast.

Meanwhile, a few new bits on RIM's efforts, via Bloomberg:
  • It's going to be called the "Blackpad," according to a Bloomberg source. RIM bought the domain blackpad.com, a fact that was revealed earlier this week.
  • RIM will introduce it in November.
  • The Blackpad will be about the same size as the iPad, and will be able to use a BlackBerry's internet connection (something Apple's iPad can't use an iPhone for -- at least not yet).
"RIM really has yet to demonstrate that it can roll out touchscreen technology to match the leaders in the space, most noticeably Apple."

The BlackPad - which apparently includes front-and back-facing (video) cameras as well as a 1Ghz processor - is slated to be priced "in line with the iPad" at approximately $500. 

Yes, $500 is definitely a reasonable price point for all that hardware, especially if the BlackPad's purported tethering capabilities actually do coalesce.

BlackBerry loyalists? It's not like this is a situation where having a plastic keyboard is helpful. Or a situation where anyone would want to use their BlackBerry apps on a bigger screen.

With 8 MP resolution and guarantee ease of use, and the processor is supplied by Qualcomm with its Snapdragon series (1 GHz).

If, Samsung has UI TouchWiz, then HTC have the HTC Sense. Actually Desire HD is set to rival Samsung as tablets but packaged in a smaller size mobile dimension generally equivalent aliases. No wonder if even only a 4.3-inch screen.

While Z Desire series looks set for users who prefer to use QWERTY keypad input. With a slightly lower spec Desire HD (for example, the processor is only 800 Mhz and 5 MP camera), but for the size of an Android phone, weighing 180 grams this series even more complete. Besides the touch screen is also an additional optical touchpad for a familiar browsing like BlackBerry.
