    Digicel Rising Star 2011 finalist Latoya Jackson, more popularly known as ‘Latty J’, along with other members of her family were robbed at gunpoint on the weekend. Reports are that the robbery took place along a section of the Old Stony Hill main road.

    Latty J said the robber took $30,000 in cash as well as three cellphones including two BlackBerry phones, an iPod Touch along with shoes and clothing that were in a bag.

    It is reported that the thief also took her mother’s purse containing important documents and identification cards.

    Latty J said “It was basically four of us standing waiting for a bus, me, my mother and two other members of my family. It wasn’t even 8 o’clock good … it was a little after 7 p.m., and we were standing waiting for a bus and saw this man approaching casually. My mother wanted to make sure we were at the right place so she asked the guy if this was where the 53 bus runs,” she said. “He answered my mother and then brandished the gun and started to rob us.”

    Latty J told THE STAR that a report was made to the Stony Hill police and a search of the area was carried out minutes after the incident.

    Police sources at the Stony Hill Police Station confirmed the incident, however, no one has been arrested and investigation into the robbery is ongoing.

  • Inside The Kickstarter Project That Smashed All Fundraising Records

    Deals @ Amazon:

    Migicovsky says he started out making watches that integrated with BlackBerry phones. When he decided last year to create a new device that did the same for iOS and Android smartphones, the idea landed him in the renowned Y Combinator start-up incubator. Four angel investors—including Y Combinator partner and Gmail creator Paul Buccheit and Draper Fisher Jurvetson managing director Draper—gave Migicovsky the money he needed to begin designing Pebble.

    After that, though, the money stopped—and so did product development.

    “Hardware companies are somewhat hard to fund,” Migicovsky says. “VCs have less experience with hardware.”

    “We knew how much it would cost to bring this product to market and we didn’t have that in our bank account,” he adds.

    Backers to Receive Watches

    Migicovsky turned to Kickstarter, posting a video of a Pebble prototype and its various possibilities—including mail and messaging, music controls, exercise data tracking and more—and listed the project’s fundraising goal at $100,000, an amount he said would allow them to sell 1,000 watches.

    Early “investors” basically pre-pay for the watches; different funding levels buy a promise to ship one or more of the watches in September. (Big donors could also get custom watch designs.)

    Worth noting: Backers are putting their money into a product that is still just a prototype—and they get no protection if the project fails.

    Still, the resulting cash influx has allowed Migicovsky to increase his staff, going from five to 10 people, and add new planned features to the watch, including water resistance and higher-quality plastic for a better feel, he said.

    And Migicovsky, at least, is confident that Pebble will deliver on its promise. “We having an amazing support network. We’re feeling good,” he said.

     
  • Gloucestershire police spend £2m on BlackBerry phones

    Deals @ Amazon:

    THE police force is forking out more than £2 million to hand over BlackBerry phones to its officers.

    The move comes so Gloucestershire police can keep bobbies on the beat instead of returning to the office to do their paperwork.

    1. Gloucestershire Constabulary

      Gloucestershire Constabulary

    The force was keeping quiet about how much the scheme for nearly 650 members of staff would cost. But a Freedom of Information request revealed it would cost £2.2million over the next three years.

    The constabulary revealed it has been given a £1.3 million grant from the National Policing Improvement Agency to help pay for the phones.

    But it will be stumping up £900,000 from its own coffers.

    Officers will use the smart phones to carry out work and update logs, which previously had to be done from the office.

    The mobile move comes after Gloucestershire police has put 13 of its stations up for sale to help save £18 million from its budget.

    The force has defended the spend and said the £2.2 million is not solely for the cost of phones.

    Spokesman Chris Jackson explained it included the cost of all usage for three years, meaning no monthly contract fees to pay, and the infrastructure to ensure officers had access to all police systems, such as the police national computer.

    It will also pay to ensure the systems on the mobiles are secure.

    Mr Jackson said: “The devices will give officers access to the majority of the systems used in their work, allowing them more time on patrol and less time travelling to or working within police stations.

    “This is part of our drive to increase the number of officers working in high visibility roles.

    “It will also reduce bureaucracy and improve efficiency, thereby cutting overall policing costs.”

    The project has been four years in the planning and the constabulary’s contribution was earmarked and set aside four years ago.

    Katy Roberts, spokeswoman for Gloucestershire police, previously told the Echo: “641 BlackBerry devices are being issued across the county to PCs and PCSOs working in our local policing areas.

    “The devices will give officers access to the majority of the systems used in their work, allowing them more time on patrol and less time travelling to or working within police stations. This is part of our drive to increase the number of officers working in high-visibility roles.

    “It will also reduce bureaucracy and improve efficiency, thereby cutting overall policing costs.”

    The latest BlackBerry phones can cost around £300.

    Among the stations closed are Whaddon, Barton Street in Tewkesbury, Leckhampton, St Marks, Berkeley, Brockworth, Newent and Tutshill.

  • Nokia: Cheap but Not Attractive

    Deals @ Amazon:

    Low prices haven’t attracted customers to Nokia and BlackBerry phones. Cheap share prices likely won’t attract buyers for the companies that make them—at least any time soon.

    Nokia stock is setting new multiyear lows and Fitch on Tuesday downgraded its debt to “junk” status. Meanwhile, freefalling Research in Motion, which make the BlackBerry, is exploring strategic options. Both of their stock prices have fallen more than 90% from the peak.

    But there are just too many reasons not to buy them. Start with the prices. Even after a valuation collapse, Nokia and RIM have market capitalizations of $13.5 billion and …

  • Nielsen: Half Of Cell Users Have Smartphones

    Deals @ Amazon:

    Iphone-4S-SmartphoneHalf of U.S. mobile users now have a smartphone, according to new data from Nielsen. The
    49.7% of mobile subscribers with a smartphone as of February is up from 36% in the year-earlier period, reflecting a 38% increase. Underscoring that growth rate, more than two-thirds who bought a new
    handset in the last three months chose a smartphone over a feature phone.

    Nielsen’s estimate of smartphone penetration tends to be more aggressive than others. comScore, for instance,
    put that figure at 42% among U.S. mobile users, and a recent Pew report found that 46% of
    American adults owned a smartphone as of February. The Nielsen estimate is based on a survey of more than  20,000 mobile users.

    When it comes to smartphone operating systems, Android
    maintains a commanding lead, with a 48% share of the market, followed by iOS at 32.1%. BlackBerry phones represented another 11.6%, down from 14.9% in December. Recent trends indicate that Apple is
    taking more share from BlackBerry and other competitors, including Microsoft’s Windows Phone platform.

    Among people who purchased smartphones in the last three months, 48% surveyed in
    February chose an Android, and 43% chose an iPhone. Only 5% bought a BlackBerry, and 4% got another type of smartphone. Apple has gotten a big lift from the iPhone 4S, which helped it sell a record 37
    million iPhones overall in the fourth quarter.

    In December, 44.5% of new smartphone buyers got an iPhone, up from 25.1% in October. In February, the 48% who said they had bought an Android
    phone was up from 46.5% in December. Windows Phone could get a much-needed boost when ATT launches Nokia’s Lumia 900 in April. The carrier is planning a major push behind the Windows
    Phone-powered smartphone, priced at $99.99.

     
  • Katrina Kaif launches BlackBerry Curve 9220 phone

    Deals @ Amazon:

    The actor is endorsing the same phone brand as ex-lover Salman Khan

    Actor Katrina Kaif launched the new BlackBerry phone, the Curve 9220, in New Delhi today. The new instrument from Research In Motion is priced at Rs 10,990 and seems like an entry level smartphone from the BlackBerry range of QWERTY phones. It boasts of the latest BlackBerry OS 7.1 but does not have 3G.

    Btw, Katrina’s ex-boyfriend and superstar Salman Khan also endorses BlackBerry phones and tablets. It seems like he is the one to rope her in for the brand, as Katrina has earlier endorsed the Spice brand of mobilephones. Lovers they might not be anymore, but her friendship with the Khan has not only landed her more movies (Ek Tha Tiger with him), but also lucrative brand endorsements. Good going, Kat!
