Despite recent findings that suggests Carrier IQ keeps track of everything you do on your phone, carriers and manufacturers have been quick to either deny any association with Carrier IQ, or downplay what the software does.

The BlackBerry PlayBook just cannot carve out a spot for itself in the highly competitive tablet market. RIM has tried to move more units by slashing the PlayBook’s price through promotional offers with retailers, and it even recently held a $99 PlayBook fire sale with its employees. Still, the PlayBook continues to die a slow and expensive death. RIM now has to eat $485 million (or $360 million after taxes) for its fiscal third quarter as a result of not selling as many PlayBooks as it expected. RIM will try to remedy poor PlayBook sales by stepping up promotions for… Full Story » | Written by Jeremy Hill for . | Comment on this Article »

Google continues to redesign everything in its path. Next on the list is YouTube, and chances are the new design has been pushed to you already. This isn’t a mass rollout of the Cosmic Panda experiment that took place some months back. YouTube has gotten a complete facelift that brings the video content you want to see front and center. In some ways, the new YouTube is reminiscent of Facebook in that the most recent activity is in the center of the page, whereas the navigation controls are restricted to the left side of the page.

Competition is a great thing. It’s a big reason why the AT&T and T-Mobile acquisition is looking less likely to be approved. As long as there are multiple companies fighting over a section of the market, the more likely the customers are going to benefit from cheaper services and more options. We’re keeping that in mind while pondering what online shopping will be like if Google were to take on Amazon Prime. The Wall Street Journal says Google is in talks with retailers such as Macy’s, OfficeMax and Gap to offer a shipping service that could, in theory, offer same… Full Story » | Written by Jeremy Hill for . | Comment on this Article »
 
On Thursday, Sen. Al Franken wrote a letter to Carrier IQ asking the company to respond to a number of questions regarding the collection of private user information. It’s believed Carrier IQ’s software tracks everything a person does on their phone, and reports the results back to carriers or manufacturers. Once Carrier IQ became aware of the senator’s inquiry, it notified him that it only makes the software. Carrier IQ said it’s up to carriers and phone manufacturers to install the software, and modify it to their liking. In light of this new information, Sen. Franken turned his attention to… Full Story » | Written by Jeremy Hill for . | Comment on this Article »

According to JackpotClavin over on the xda-developers forums—“everything is running okay” and at the moment there is “only one noticeable bug.” With that, the release is… Full Story » | Written by Robert Nelson for . | Comment on this Article »
 
HTC is also distancing itself from the fiasco surrounding Carrier IQ. HTC’s devices were among the ones that were discovered to be stealthily running Carrier IQ in the background, and keeping track of everything a user does on their phone. We knew it was only a matter of time before carriers and phone makers started shifting blame onto each other and HTC has done just that. In a statement sent to The Verge, HTC says it’s not responsible for Carrier IQ being installed on its phones because HTC did not authorize its use. It then directs any inquiries one might… Full Story » | Written by Jeremy Hill for . | Comment on this Article »

The details are coming by way of Spotify’s UK MD Chris Maples who recently spoke with Pocket-lint in regards to the app. According to Maples, the release of Spotify for the iPad is “a priority” and is “absolutely in the pipeline”.

Recently a couple of hackers claimed that they managed to jailbreak RIM’s BlackBerry PlayBook, leaving RIM to clean up the issue. Research In Motion has issued a statement regarding the jailbreak, and it actually sounds reasonable. RIM’s official response to the matter is: “Research In Motion (RIM) is aware of a claim made on Twitter by security researchers working together that suggests the ability to “jailbreak” a BlackBerry PlayBook tablet. The term “jailbreaking” is commonly used to describe altering the software on a smartphone or tablet in order to obtain access to systems or applications not officially authorized or distributed… Full Story » | Written by Shawn Ingram for . | Comment on this Article »
