RIM, the maker of the popular smartphone, Blackberry, today updated its Blackberry Media Sync application to version 3.0. In addition to syncing music from iTunes and Windows Media Player, Blackberry Media sync can now sync photos to and from your PC. Blackberry Media Sync is an application that lets you well, sync media between your Blackberry and your computer. I have not had a chance to try this new update because I do not have a Blackberry accessible at the moment but as soon I do I will be sure to update this post with my thoughts on the application. The previous version of Blackberry Media Sync, however, did not seem to work for me so I am looking forward to finding out if this new version fixes the problems I had.

A $50 Smartphone?

Verizon Wireless has lowered the price of the RIM Blackberry Storm from $149.99 to $49.99. In my opinion $50 is really inexpensive for a smartphone and it’s not just any smartphone, its a Blackberry!

Do you think that this means that the BB Storm 2 will be coming out anytime soon and Verizon is just trying to get rid of the old Storms? However, an official release date for the Blackberry Storm 2 is not set yet.

If you do not have a smartphone yet and are on the Verizon network then I think that a $50 smartphone would be a great upgrade. What are you waiting for? Be sure to remember that you have to sign a 2 year contract!
