RIM With BalcBerry Music

Another music cloud base has appear and its BlackBerry Music. Doesn't want out from the competition from Apple, Android and even Microsoft, BlackBerry decide to launch its own music cloud. Details are sparse, but supposedly the P2P system will be called BBM Music and allow you to distribute songs and playlists amongst your BBM contacts. Obviously, there will need some sort of licensing system or DRM implementation (can't re-share tracks you got from someone else, for example) to prevent rampant piracy, but what RIM is thinking is not known yet. The subscription is $5 a months, but whats in the package is not known and also there is a 50 limit song, maybe for every user but payment means more?

Apple Gain Patent, A Threat To Everything With Touchscreen

Hottest topic of the day, Apple won patent for multitouch. Multitouch is what every smartphone with touchscreen have, regardless if your Ios, Android, Blackberry, Symbian, MEEGO and also even a smartphone or a tablet. With this patent, which I think shoud not have been bought as it applies to all touchscreen device which uses multitouch to interact with the whole phone, pinch to zoom, double tap to zoom, anything, the patent says that if you use all of the above then you'll have to obtain it from Apple. Remember touchscreen have been using multitouch, so should all those non Apple device should pay to Apple? No, because the patent is too general as this means Apple is in control right now
