This is the end! Not of the world, of course, but of our waiting. Finally, Blackberry released their Android and Apple apps for the BlackBerry Messenger. Read on for more information on this wonderful news, as well as other tech stories that have broken since last time.<\/p>\n

BlackBerry releases messenger for all smartphones<\/b><\/p>\n

So it\u2019s about time that Research in Motion, the parent company of BlackBerry, decided that they can share one of their wonderful services with everyone. For those that were missing BlackBerry Messenger after moving to an iPhone or Android, grieve no more. Now everyone can download the service onto their smartphones, free of charge. It\u2019s available from the Apple App Store and the Android Play Store. If you haven\u2019t downloaded it yet, this is the time. A little bad news, though: if you guys didn\u2019t register at the BlackBerry website, you might have to wait a bit to actually start using this service. But you\u2019ve waited a long time already; a little bit more isn\u2019t going to hurt, is it?<\/p>\n

Apple releases iPad 5 and iPad mini<\/b><\/p>\n

Guess who\u2019s back? I mean, back again? The tech giant Apple just released the next generation of tablets. So, what\u2019s new? Well, the new iPad is based on the same architecture as the iPhone 5S. So it has a lot of new things to offer, including the fingerprint scanner. Apple also unveiled the iPad mini 2, which is now blessed with retina display. The new iPad mini packs the same display size, but with new features, and the retina display is an absolute pleasure to look at. But, as usual, all of this comes at a cost. It\u2019s rumoured that these iPads will be priced a bit higher than the current generation. The new iPads will arrive at Apple stores, as well other retailers, by the end of this month.<\/p>\n

Wow, isn\u2019t it a wonderful feeling when you are waiting for something to arrive for a long time and it\u2019s finally here? And if you\u2019re not completely overwhelmed by these announcements, just wait until next issue; we\u2019ve got something that will really blow your mind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
