   You're 100% correct, it boils down to execution. RIM's (and arguably WebOS') biggest issue is the lack of apps, and they've been doing all they can to engage developers to fix this. Things like the seeding of devices, free BB10 phone when y

   Again, I do not work for RIM, I'm merely a developer. I've used a Galaxy Nexus for the last week or so, and my parents have iPhones. E-mails and notifications arrive on the Galaxy relatively quickly, I would say almost on par with the Black

   http://xkcd.com/936/ I personally believe that a great startup idea is a website or app that operates like KeePass or 1Password or Revelation, and allows you to enter your passphrase like xkcd suggests, and manages all of your other passw

    I use Revelation on Ubuntu. It hasn't been maintained in quite some time though, I should pick up the code base and update it.
