BlackBerry Podcast Beta App Video Walk-Through
on Friday, April 30, 2010
It was just a few days ago that we received images of the BlackBerry Podcast app, which the app has now evidently been added to the BlackBerry Beta Zone. Now we've been sent a nice video, which shows the entire app from head to toe. So far we've heard this app isn't so great, but of course it is only a beta version. Time will tell if it will compete with the likes of PodTrapper. If you're testing it, do you like it?

BlackBerry Pearl 9100/9105 OS 5.0.0.664 Leaked
For those who have the Pearl 9100 or 9105 (I know of a couple that do) you will find OS 5.0.0.664 to your liking. Not entirely sure what's new with this build. However, this is a decent step up from the previous .623 and also the highest OS build to be leaked so far. If you have this device or you're a hybrid builder, here's a treat.
*DISCLAIMER* - This is an unofficial RIM software release. If you choose to install, do so at your own risk! BB Leaks is not responsible for any malfunctions or abnormalities that may occur.

BlackBerry Tour 9630 OS 5.0.0.643 Leaked
The BlackBerry Tour 9630 owners are getting some more love with OS 5.0.0.643! We aren't sure how this build handles, but can't imagine it being any different from the other .643 builds out there. So fire up a loader and try out this new OS! Let us know how it is.

Images of RIM BlackBerry Podcast Beta App Leaked Out
on Wednesday, April 28, 2010
We had these images sent in, showing the upcoming Research In Motion BlackBerry Podcast app. We don't know too much about the app just yet. We have heard that there is not a large selection and you cannot add a podcast of choice. From the first screenshot, it appears that RIM is designing it similar to the new layout for music that we saw in the BlackBerry 6 promo video. It will be pretty cool to eventually see how the RIM-made version compares to third-party podcast apps. More images after break...

Lucky for us, the guys over at WJD Designs have created a fully functional BlackBerry OS 6.0 inspired theme that might actually help us deal with the wait. It is only available for Storm devices with OS 5.0 at the moment, but trackpad and trackball versions are coming soon.

- 3 Screen slide docks

New BlackBerry OS 6 Promo Video
on Tuesday, April 27, 2010
Today at the Keynote speech with founder and co-CEO, Mike Lazaridis, RIM unveiled a new promotional video showcasing the upcoming BlackBerry OS 6.0! While it's more of a hype video than a live demo, it does show the beauty of the BlackBerry 6. Hopefully OS 6.0 will come with those dancers...then I'll always been in the groove to use my BlackBerry!

Will Your BlackBerry Receive OS 6.0? Supported Devices Revealed!
on Monday, April 26, 2010
*UPDATE* New information has obviously since come out. Unfortunately OS 6 takes up about 280MB memory. As you know, the Storm2 only had 256MB. This is why there should be a Storm2 Odin refresh that will have 512MB memory. Devices with out a touchscreen only use about 180MB of memory with OS 6. This is why the 9700, 9650, and 9100/9105 should all get OS 6.
The first day of WES 2010 has been a great start to what should be a very informative week. We recently brought you even more leaked details on the features of OS 6.0, which truly sound like RIM is working in the right direction. Now, we've learned details on which devices will receive OS 6.0 support.
All current unannounced BlackBerry devices such as the Clamshell 9670, Storm Slider (9800?), and potentially a Storm3 will all launch with OS 6.0. The Atlas 8980 and Kepler 9300 will most likely still release with only OS 5.0.
Of course you probably don't care about those devices, but want to know about the device you have now! We have received solid word from one of our connects that these will be the following "older" devices to receive OS 6.0 once released:
- Bold 9650
- Pearl 9100 and 9105
- Bold 9700
- Storm2 9520 and 9550
While we're told OS 6.0 should release in Q3, there really isn't a solid ETA. We are told the OS 6.0 bundles are still very early beta and won't start carrier testing until mid July.
Will you still use your BlackBerry if it won't support OS 6.0? Or, do you think you'll upgrade to a newer model just for the new OS?

More BlackBerry Clamshell 9670 and Atlas 8980 Images Appear
A forum member over at CrackBerry pushed out a few new images of the upcoming BlackBerry Clamshell 9670, which will be a new full-qwerty flip phone running on OS 6.0, and what was originally known as the Javelin 2 aka Atlas 8910. However, there have been new images, which suggest the Atlas now has a model number of 8980.
