Blackberry OS 6.0 Announced For Summer Debut

By

During an analyst meeting today, Research In Motion co-chief Mike Lazaridis debuted a new teaser for the upcoming Blackberry OS 6.0 due out later this summer. The video features several big upgrades, but the biggest news may be that older Blackberries will be able to upgrade.

The new OS will feature several improvements, including a media player with album art, a YouTube app, a better library with improved search features for stored pictures, and upgrade calendar and meeting features.

The OS will also featured a web browser with tabbed browsing with pinch-to-zoom functionality, and more fluid support for social networking apps. The new OS will also support a new touchscreen interface that allows “flick gesturing” to scroll through menus.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra is one of my favorite Cyber Monday tech deals
The Night mode watch face on the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra.

One of my favorite smartwatches I used this year is the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra. When it was first announced, there was worry that the wearable would be an uninspired Apple Watch Ultra clone. However, I think it's one of the year's most original smartwatches, offering a striking design and a robust list of features.

Every iPhone 16 model has a Cyber Monday deal. This is the one I’d choose

If you're shopping for a new phone, then there’s no better time than Cyber Monday. After all, there are so many deals to be had and more incentives than ever to upgrade your phone. Currently, Best Buy will give you a free $100 gift card if you purchase an iPhone 16 device from AT&T or Verizon.

That’s like $100 off, and you don’t have to trade in your old device to get it. However, if you do trade in an older phone, you can get up to $1,000 off through bill credits — on top of the $100 gift card.
