			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>By Aldo Panessidi</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Does it come as a surprise to anyone that Absinthe jailbreak for both <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/Apple/Apple-iPhone-4S-Black-16GB-GSM-Phone">iPhone 4S</a> and <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/Apple/Apple-iPad-2-accessories/">iPad 2</a> has been installed a million times within three days of it becoming available.  The Absinthe jailbreak application for <a href="http://cache.greenpois0n.com/dl/absinthe-mac-0.2.zip" target="_blank">OS X</a> and <a href="http://t.co/8AkxiBqG" target="_blank">Windows</a> versions now sit at version 0.2, and  are said to both be bug-free</p>
<p>The Absinthe program has been updated to fix some faulty issues incorporated with the original program issue.  These issues focused on improperly forcing a reboot on typical iDevice coupled with  causing some icons to show up white on the home screen —otherwise it remains unchanged.  These tweaks were from the iOS hacking “dream team” of pod2g, MuscleNerd and the whole Dev-Team. The release encompasses iPhone4S: 5.0 (9A334), 5.0.1 (9A405), 5.0.1 (9A406); and iPad2: 5.0.1 (9A405). If you haven’t backed up your SHSH blobs with <a href="http://thefirmwareumbrella.blogspot.com/">TinyUmbrella</a> yet, do so right away, as Apple will as a defensive move, more than likely accelerate the release of iOS 5.1 as a result of this jailbreak.</p>
<p>Get the latest in iphone 4S Jailbraking insight from this tutorial Video</p>

<p>Enhance your mobility and turn your device into a power tool!  Discover select accessories such as; <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/All/Stylus-and-Pens/">stylus &amp; pens</a>, <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/All/Memory-&amp;-Electronics/">micro SD memory cards</a>, <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/All/Batteries/">batteries</a>, <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/All/Desktop-Chargers/">docking stations</a>, <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/All/Bluetooth-Headsets/">Bluetooth headsets</a>, <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/All/Data-Cables/">data cables</a> and <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/GliderGloves-accessories/">glider gloves</a> all specifically designed to make your devices functionally efficient and performance rich.</p>
<p>Recently, the <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/Apple/Apple-iPad-2-accessories/">iPad 2</a> received and untethered jailbreak with iOS 4.3.3 which alleviated the need for you to be near a computer in the event that your iPhone or iPad required a reboot.  Until then, the only iOS 5.0.1 jailbreaks for A5 devices have been tethered, meaning the device would have to be re-broken every time it rebooted.</p>
<p>The following video provides instruction on how to jailbreak your iPad 2</p>
<p><object style="height: 390px; width: 640px;" width="640" height="360"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1GG4EdRUlB8?version=3&amp;feature=player_embedded" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1GG4EdRUlB8?version=3&amp;feature=player_embedded" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed></object></p>
<p>Finally the last video provides direction to create an untethered jailbreak for the <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/Apple/Apple-iPod-Touch-4th-accessories/">4th-gen iPod touch</a></p>
<p><object style="height: 390px; width: 640px;" width="640" height="360"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/kp_Mz6rs9fc?version=3&amp;feature=player_embedded" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/kp_Mz6rs9fc?version=3&amp;feature=player_embedded" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed></object></p>
<p>If you need more information on jailbreaking&#8230; visit the <a href="http://www.jailbreakme.com/" target="_blank">JailbreakMe website</a> where jailbreak apps are set to look as in a typical AppStore… click the “Free” button, then “Install” and 2 minutes later you’re done.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 8pt;">Note:  Pure Mobile neither endorses or disapproves of jailbreaking activities&#8230; its role is limited to  simply  being and acting  as a provider of technological information.  We do however, want to convey to our readers that hacking any format is against the law.  In addition, Pure Mobile will not held responsible for any damages incurred to any device when engaging in any jailbreak application(s) that are aforementioned in this blog or downloaded from any other sites.</span></p>

<p>Get excited iBooks users! The iOS jailbreak known as <em>Corona</em> that was released last month for the <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/Apple/Apple-iPhone-4S-Black-16GB-GSM-Phone">iPhone4S</a> and <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/Apple/Apple-iPad-2-accessories/">iPad</a> is now updated to support Apple’s e-reader, iBooks. Be sure to get your updates though, as it is the build for version iOS 5.0.1.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.puremobile.com/insiderblog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Corona-5.0.1-Untether-1.0-3-261x300.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-6722 aligncenter" title="Corona JailBreak Apple" src="http://www.puremobile.com/insiderblog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Corona-5.0.1-Untether-1.0-3-261x300.jpg" alt="Corona JailBreak Apple" width="261" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>But what does this new jailbreak upgrade mean for your Apple experience? While not as gratifying as playing with a new acquisition from the phenomenal family of accessories for each of the <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/Apple/Apple-iPad-3G-and-Wifi-accessories/">tablet</a>, <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/Apple/Apple-iPod-Touch-4th-accessories/">iPod</a> media device and <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/Apple/Cell-Phones/">smartphones</a> that will be covered by this new software update, it could address some of the issues occurring during browsing sessions on these same devices.</p>
<p>Because if you have experienced the launcher crashing on occasion, it is this upgrade that will doctor it up. There are some other bugs that will be fixed as well, but the addressed launcher is the biggie (for the really technical of you out there, the build is also included in redsn0w 0.9.10b4). So, with this update you need not fear having to remove your favorite Apple handset or tablet from its cozy protective case to play tech detective.</p>
<p>Leaving your valuable mobile devices unprotected is risky!  Discover the latest innovative protection solutions&#8230; stylish top brand <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/All/Bags,-Sleeves-&amp;-Travel-Cases/">bags, sleeves and cases</a> specifically designed to protect your devices from scratches and blemishes.  Tough on the outside, sweet on the inside these brand name protection accessories combine complete device coverage with sleek artistic expression.</p>
<p>For those of you who already have jailbroken iPhone4 or iPad devices, <em>Corona</em> can be found and run through the <a href="http://cydia.saurik.com/store/">Cydia store</a>. Another option is downloading the updated OS X for Windows version (redsn0w) which will have the same impact.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.puremobile.com/insiderblog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/iPhone-3GS-Unlock.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-6723 aligncenter" title="iPhone 4 3GS Unlock" src="http://www.puremobile.com/insiderblog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/iPhone-3GS-Unlock.jpg" alt="iPhone 4 3GS Unlock" width="267" height="319" /></a></p>
<p>And if you do not yet possess this untethered jailbreak, you can find more information on compatibility for iPhone 3GS, iPhone4, the first generation <a href="../../Apple/Apple-iPad-3G-and-Wifi-accessories/">iPad</a>, iPod Touch 3G and the <a href="../../Apple/Apple-iPod-Touch-4th-accessories/">iPod Touch 4G</a>. Clearly this development team has been hard at work to bring this jailbreak technology to Apple’s various device offerings of smartphones, tablets <em>and </em>media players. Now, if we can keep that open concept movement to empower customers at other levels of purchasing and freedom of customization, amazing innovation is in the works.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.puremobile.com/insiderblog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/iPad-Security1.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-6724 alignleft" title="iPad Unlock Apple Corona JailBreak" src="http://www.puremobile.com/insiderblog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/iPad-Security1.jpg" alt="iPad Unlock Apple Corona JailBreak" width="225" height="289" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now to await their next upgrade to include iPhone4S and iPad2…</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Since the release of the first <a href="../../Apple/Cell-Phones/">iPhone</a> in 2007 I have been jail breaking the iphone. I have been caught up in conversation many times about the ability of the iPhone. When I referred to the iPhone it&#8217;s often hard for me to perceive it without being able to include the many <a href="http://www.geeknaut.com/best-cydia-apps-2011-201913.html">Cydia applications</a> I use with the wonderful IOS operating system.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.puremobile.com/insiderblog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Jailbreak-iPhone-3G-3.1.3-with-Spirit-Jailbreak-Tool.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-6716 aligncenter" title="JailBreak iPhone" src="http://www.puremobile.com/insiderblog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Jailbreak-iPhone-3G-3.1.3-with-Spirit-Jailbreak-Tool.jpg" alt="JailBreak iPhone" width="300" height="281" /></a></p>
<p>Many people have often looked at me as if they were very confused, and say.  <a href="http://cellphones.about.com/od/glossary/f/jailbreak_faq.htm">What is jailbreaking</a>? This is the single most question I am asked when discussing the iPhone. I have thought long and hard on the simplest way to explain jailbreaking to a person who does not understand what it is at all about.   To this nd, I have crafted the following jailbreaking overview So I have tried to think about this as elementary as possible to facilitate reader  understanding.</p>
<p>Jailbreaking allows the iPhone or other  idevices such as the <a href="../../Apple/Apple-iPad-2-accessories/">iPad</a> and <a href="../../Apple/Apple-iPod-Touch-4th-accessories/">iPod</a> user more freedom. When Apple developed the iPhone in their mega-billion-dollar factories, the developers, at their own discretion determined what we could and could not do with our iphones. That is a decision , I do not agree with that in any terms.  Like many people I paid for this product with my personal money and believe  that I should be able to decide on changing its appearance or the sounds it makes when it rebooting.  Yet in  2008 or 2009 jailbreaking your iPhone was declared illegal.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.puremobile.com/insiderblog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/jailbreak-ipad-5-0-1.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-6717 aligncenter" title="JailBreak iPad" src="http://www.puremobile.com/insiderblog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/jailbreak-ipad-5-0-1.jpg" alt="JailBreak iPad" width="360" height="360" /></a></p>
<p>Leaving your valuable mobile devices unprotected is risky!  Discover the latest innovative protection solutions&#8230; stylish top brand <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/All/Bags,-Sleeves-&amp;-Travel-Cases/">bags, sleeves and cases</a> specifically designed to protect your devices from scratches and blemishes.  Tough on the outside, sweet on the inside these brand name protection accessories combine complete device coverage with sleek artistic expression.</p>
<p>Jailbreaking allows the user to download third-party applications from a store called Cydia. In this store many developers have been denied the chance to sell their application in the  ” Apple store&#8221;.    Many of the applications in the Cydia store are better applications than many I have downloaded from the Apple store.  That being said these applications are hosted on repositories which are sources in the Cydia store.  These applications have gone through a screening process as the Cydia operators are stand up characters and would not ruin their reputation by enabling  applications that are unethical or damaging to your device.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.puremobile.com/insiderblog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Cydia-Logo.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-6718 aligncenter" title="Cydia Logo Apple iPhone" src="http://www.puremobile.com/insiderblog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Cydia-Logo.png" alt="Cydia Logo Apple iPhone" width="338" height="280" /></a></p>
<p>Enhance your mobility and turn your device into a power tool!  Discover select accessories such as; <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/All/Stylus-and-Pens/">stylus &amp; pens</a>, <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/All/Memory-&amp;-Electronics/">micro SD memory cards</a>, <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/All/Batteries/">batteries</a>, <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/All/Desktop-Chargers/">docking stations</a>, <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/All/Bluetooth-Headsets/">Bluetooth headsets</a>, <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/All/Data-Cables/">data cables</a> and <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/GliderGloves-accessories/">glider gloves</a> all specifically designed to make your devices functionally efficient and performance rich.</p>
<p>I have often had many people argue that they were afraid to download the applications from Cydia because they weren&#8217;t signed from Apple.   There is a huge open source environment on the web&#8230; wherein different developers collaborate together to create new or enhance existing application with more powerful features.  As such, just because an application does not originate from Apple it does not mean it hasn&#8217;t been fully screened or the code has not gone through an extensive testing process to filter or eliminate viruses.</p>
<p>Many of the applications from Cydia are just small tweaks. Such as, being able to swipe the status bar to open what&#8217;s called SB settings.  Inside Sbsettings you can control Bluetooth, reboot, and much more. This is just an example of some of the applications that are available in Cydia. Also in Cydia you can download themes for your idevices. What I mean by theme is you can change the physical appearance of the iPhone. Whether it’s the size of the icons or the color of the status bar and much more. Needless to say, the question, What is Jailbreaking?  could revoke a 500 page book. I&#8217;m trying to do it in just a few paragraphs. So to putt short and sweet. Jailbreaking allows the user to download third-party applications and themes.  This will allow the user to use their phone however they wish. If you want to open the settings menu by swiping the status bar, that can be accomplished. There are many great applications and tweaks inside Cydia. Since this article is about what is jailbreaking? I am going to include a few must have applications from Cydia.</p>
<p><strong>Top Must Have Cydia Applications :</strong></p>
<p>·        SBswitcher  a tweak for iOS which will basically add a new pane over the multi-tasking pane, which will allow you to bookmark nine of your most-used apps. Now this new pane will allow a very quick access to all your favourite apps.  This app also gives you an easy access to a few of your System Settings. Bundled with its core feature, this app is definitely worth $0.99.  Props to the developer Tolani.  He has added in the release notes that this tweak is not yet available for iPad but should be soon.</p>
<p>·        Activator-Free- add gestures to open application.</p>
<p>·        Infiniboard-$1.99Vertically scroll the springboard.  Addis many applications as you wish to each page. No limits</p>
<p>·        Packagebackup-$7.99 Simple way to save your Cydia application in one centralized location.  Should you need to do are store simply do so with a couple clicks.</p>
<p>·        iFile $4-Great way to SSH into the device without connecting to a computer.  Do things such as change icons to much more advance task.</p>
<p>·        Springtomize$2.99- This application has over 50 tweaks inside it.  You can change the color of status bar, size of icons, change carrier, and more.</p>
<p>·        Winterboard- FREE This is how you add themes to the device for changing its physical appearance.  You can also add themes to the lock screen, change reboot sounds. This application is free however many of the themes are paid.</p>

<p>Take inventory of your tech devices. You likely have a <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/">smartphone</a>, a <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/Apple/Apple-Macbook-Pro-17-inch-accessories/">laptop</a>, a <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/Apple/Apple-iPad-2-accessories/">tablet</a>, an <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/Apple/Apple-iPod-Touch-4th-accessories/">iPod</a> media player, and maybe an errant MP3 player lying around. That is a lot of devices to manage, juggle, and keep tidy – a huge concern for those who like clean décor and want to incorporate these devices. So as the newest offerings of technology were paraded out at CES, who are the winners for <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/All/Bags,-Sleeves-&amp;-Travel-Cases/">top accessory</a> innovators at this year’s conference?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/insiderblog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/CES-2012.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-6255 aligncenter" title="CES 2012 - Consumer Electronics Show" src="http://www.puremobile.ca/insiderblog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/CES-2012.jpg" alt="CES 2012 - Consumer Electronics Show" width="420" height="265" /></a></p>
<p>To start, <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/Samsung/Cell-Phones/">Samsung</a> had some wonderfully well designed <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/XMI-accessories/">speakers</a> and <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/All/Desktop-Chargers/">docking stations</a> for their <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-Black-GSM-Phone">Galaxy S 2 smartphones</a> and <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-10.1-accessories/">Galaxy tablets</a> that had a range of classic to contemporary. They looked to have dedicated woofers and tweeters to ensure a great sound as well as a great look.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/insiderblog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/blog_samsung_ces.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-6256 aligncenter" title="Samsung CES 2012" src="http://www.puremobile.ca/insiderblog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/blog_samsung_ces.jpg" alt="Samsung CES 2012" width="420" height="210" /></a></p>
<p>Next we have iLuv which you likely know for its <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/Apple/Cell-Phones/">Apple accessories</a>. This year they branched out to showcase their newest <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/Motorola/Motorola-DROID-RAZR-XT912">Android offerings</a> as well. Customers looking to replace a laptop with a tablet will like the folio-plus-<a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/Dexim/Dexim-DXA010-iBluek-Keyboard-for-iPad-2/">Bluetooth-keyboard</a> that gives the option of a hard keyboard or using their tablet with the soft keyboard. If considering a desktop replacement, iLuv’s <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/Incase/Incase-CL57934-Origami-Workstation-for-iPad-2/">workstation</a> is affordable and a really neat design that will dock your device, is adjustable for height, and has an integrated wired keyboard. Benefits of a dedicated workstation with the mobility of a tablet? Yes, please! Showing even more innovation for its Apple offerings, iLuv is a must to check out for products that will fit your lifestyle and needs.</p>
<p>Another mobile accessory company that wowed at CES is <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/Scosche-accessories/">Scosche</a>. The coolest tech in their array of gadgets was their <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/All/Desktop-Chargers/">desktop chargers</a>, <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/All/Desktop-Chargers/">wall chargers</a> and <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/All/Car-Chargers/">car chargers</a>. For phones they had a case, the flipCHARGE rogue and switchback flips via headphones. For emergency charging situations, keep a <a href="http://www.scosche.com/consumer-tech/product/2214">ClipSYNC</a> keychain on hand and it will undoubtedly come in handy.</p>
<p>For protecting these mobile devices, <a href="http://www.scosche.ca/consumer-tech/product/2214">bags, sleeves and cases</a> are imperative. <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/Otterbox-accessories/">Otterbox</a> continues to be a top manufacturer for the best <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/All/Cases-and-Skins/">protective cases and skins</a> for all iPhone styles and now the top selling Android handset models. Best mentions at CES for Otterbox was the <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/Otterbox/Otterbox-Commuter-iPhone-4S-Pink-White/">Commuter</a>.</p>
<p>There were many other wonderful accessories to meet the need of charging multiple devices at once or store and protect tablets. As these become available to the public and we have more information on them, we will keep you posted!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>By Aldo Panessidi</strong></p>
<p>Apple marketing is sure to have their paws all over the latest <a title="IDG Business Survey" href="http://www.puremobile.com/cell-phone-resources/ipad_survey_final.pdf">IDG business survey</a> which finds that the <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/Apple/Apple-iPad-2-accessories/">iPad</a> is gaining explosive momentum in the business community all over the.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.puremobile.com/insiderblog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/tablet_use.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-6699" title="Tablet Use - How Tablets are used" src="http://www.puremobile.com/insiderblog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/tablet_use.jpg" alt="Tablet Use - How Tablets are used" width="352" height="277" /></a></p>
<p>The survey shows that 91% of IT and business professionals use their iPads for work. The kicker is that despite this high percentage of usage, only a quarter of these devices are issued by companies.</p>
<p>A surprising 51% of those surveyed always use the device at work, almost as many who always use it at home (54%).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Perhaps this is because professionals use the sleek tablet for media consumption in typical consumer behavior in addition to using it to increase their productivity on the go. The trends point to very high levels of use while they are on the road (a full 79% of IT professionals surveyed <em>always</em> use their iPad on the road). The smaller size of the device makes it easier to tote around when traveling; the array of accessories accessories such as; <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/All/Stylus-and-Pens/"><strong>stylus &amp; pens</strong></a>, <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/All/Memory-&amp;-Electronics/"><strong>micro SD memory cards</strong></a>, <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/All/Batteries/"><strong>batteries</strong></a>, <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/All/Desktop-Chargers/"><strong>docking stations</strong></a>, <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/All/Bluetooth-Headsets/"><strong>Bluetooth headsets</strong></a>, <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/All/Data-Cables/"><strong>data cables</strong></a> and <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/GliderGloves-accessories/"><strong>glider gloves</strong></a> all specifically designed to makes this device more functionally efficient and performance rich.</p>
<p>So where is the monumental shift of iPads replacing notebooks and desktops at the corporate level? It seems to be a different kind of shift, more of an evolution than a revolution. Most of those IT and business professionals surveyed said that despite their high level of iPad use, they have not abandoned their other desktop or laptop computers. iLuv and some other accessory manufacturers did roll out some great docking stations and workstations that may help increase the adoption rate of iPads for businesses.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.puremobile.com/insiderblog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/tablet_chart.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-6700 aligncenter" title="Global Media Tablet Shipment Forecast" src="http://www.puremobile.com/insiderblog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/tablet_chart.jpg" alt="Global Media Tablet Shipment Forecast" width="493" height="289" /></a></p>
<p>Apple itself should look into how to better leverage its products and the <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/">accessories</a> to make it a clearer choice for consumers. We have brought Apple’s smartphones, media devices, and now slate computers into our homes and now into our offices. There is an incredible amount of loyalty to the brand, but their messaging has largely been centered on the consumer and its media uses. They have to help bridge those gaps and work on their solution selling where companies or individual professionals can buy a comprehensive solution to fit their changing needs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>By Megan Fleet</strong></p>
<p>The appeal of Apple and its <a href="../../Apple/Cell-Phones/">iPhone</a>, <a href="../../Apple/Apple-iPad-2-accessories/">iPad</a>, and other products has often been one of exclusivity.  In the spirit of a handsfree world, Visual Voicemail gives customers access to voicemail without dialing and has been one such feature iPhone users have been able to take advantage of.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/insiderblog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/blog_voicemail.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-6230 aligncenter" title="Rogers Visual Voicemail Plus" src="http://www.puremobile.ca/insiderblog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/blog_voicemail.jpg" alt="Rogers Visual Voicemail Plus" width="432" height="224" /></a></p>
<p>Luckily for consumers with both <a href="../../">unlocked cell phone</a> or regular  handsets, they already have their pick of Bluetooth and headsets to up their convenience and safety abilities. And, the Visual Voicemail functionality may be coming their way shortly. Recently documents were leaked indicating that Visual Voicemail will become available on select Android phones such as the <a href="../../Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-Black-GSM-Phone">Samsung Galaxy S 2</a>, the <a href="../../Motorola/Motorola-DROID-RAZR-XT912">Motorola Droid RAZR</a> as well as the <a href="../../BlackBerry/BlackBerry-Bold-Touch-9900">BlackBerry Bold 9900</a> .</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/insiderblog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/rogers_wireless.gif"><img class="size-full wp-image-6231 aligncenter" title="Rogers Wireless Logo" src="http://www.puremobile.ca/insiderblog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/rogers_wireless.gif" alt="Rogers Wireless Logo" width="360" height="182" /></a></p>
<p>For Canadian customers on the Rogers’ network, they will have the benefit of an in-house developed application. Rumors noted that service should be available in February and will cost the same as the non-visual enhanced voicemail currently available with Rogers. For RIM,the launch will extend these new services to support <a href="../../BlackBerry/BlackBerry-Bold-9700/">BlackBerry 9700</a> and <a href="../../BlackBerry/BlackBerry-Bold-9790/">Blackberry 9790</a> devices.</p>
<p>The service will be named “Visual Voicemail Plus” and finally offers an edge on iPhone users: the capacity to save voicemail messages indefinitely. As ever, this kind of storage is exactly the kind of convenience that customers look for at every level of their experience which accounts for continued use of <a href="../../All/Memory-&amp;-Electronics/">memory cards</a> with <a href="../../">smartphones</a>.</p>
<p>Undoubtedly, additional platforms and devices will supported after the launch. The leaked documents noted that any phone with MMS functionality will have Visual Voicemail made available as well. This will include less popular mobile OS like legacy Symbian and Windows Mobile. The biggest question mark is whether the new Rogers Visual Voicemail Plus offering will require additional data plans as the product works through data usage in lieu of dialing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>By Aldo Panessidi</strong></p>
<p>When Apple launched the <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/Apple/Apple-iPhone-4S-White-64GB-GSM-Phone/">iPhone 4S</a> there were plenty of bystanders that were disappointed that the latest <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/">smartphone</a> was not the elusive <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/insiderblog/apples-lte-enabled-iphone-5-to-be-totally-mind-blowing">iPhone 5</a>. The silver lining is that this prolonged release has given plenty of fodder for the tech gossip mill as we all speculate if the next generation iPhone will be drastically different.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-6208 aligncenter" title="iPhone 5 vs iPhone 4 - Bigger Screen" src="http://www.puremobile.ca/insiderblog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/blog-iphone5.png" alt="iPhone 5 vs iPhone 4 - Bigger Screen" width="369" height="362" /></p>
<p>Latest reports note that Apple’s upcoming device will be slimmer than the iPhone 4S and iPhone handsets and will also strut some new tech as well. The iPhone 5 may have a quad-mode chipset from Qualcomm that will work on all <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/insiderblog/market-continues-to-embrace-faster-smartphones">4G LTE and 3G networks</a> which has the implication of making this <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/">unlocked cell phone</a> device more widely available across mobile carriers.</p>
<p>Giving credence to these details is a BGR exclusive last month that reported Apple’s intention to launch a completely redesigned iPhone in the fall. It will have an aluminum case and a rubber or perhaps plastic bezel that will protect and cover a new wrap-around antenna.  Possibly more dependable accounts came from Morgan Stanley’s analyst, Katy Huberty, who noted that Apple sent a communication to clients last Friday. Those statements assured that Apple’s business will continue to grow even with a slowing <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/insiderblog/status-of-smartphone-penetration">demand for high-end smartphones</a>. There is no question that the company’s strength is in its iTunes, iCloud and other proprietary technologies that marry customers so closely the OS platform.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/insiderblog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/new-iphone5.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-6209 aligncenter" title="iPhone 5 Features Rumors" src="http://www.puremobile.ca/insiderblog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/new-iphone5.png" alt="iPhone 5 Features Rumors" width="486" height="269" /></a></p>
<p>Included in Huberty’s comments was the mention of Apple’s next generation tablet, the <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/Apple/Apple-iPad-3G-and-Wifi-accessories/">iPad3</a> which is slated to launch at some point in the first half of the year. With traditional pricing strategy in play, the <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/Apple/Apple-iPad-2-accessories/">iPad2</a> will be lowered in cost to attract additional customers to the <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/insiderblog/ios-crowned-market-king">iOS platform</a> and to Apple’s strength in the tablet market.</p>
<p>Surely these new smartphone and tablet devices will come with revamped and original peripheral accessories.   Leaving your valuable mobile devices unprotected is risky!  Discover the latest innovative protection solutions&#8230; stylish top brand <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/All/Bags,-Sleeves-&amp;-Travel-Cases/">bags, sleeves and cases</a><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> </span>specifically designed to protect your devices from scratches and blemishes.  Tough on the outside, sweet on the inside these brand name protection accessories combine complete device coverage with sleek artistic expression.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Android has long looked for a competitive alternative to Apple’s first to market tablet, the <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/Apple/Apple-iPad-2-accessories/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">iPad</span></a>. So, when ASUS launched the Eee Pad Transformer last year the Google world was afire with the high quality and feature rich applications of this Taiwanese tablet. Energized by the market&#8217;s response, the next generation release, the Transformer Prime, was another hit.   Discover an extensive selection of the latest lithium technology replacement <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">unlocked cell phone</span></a> and wireless devices <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/All/Batteries/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">batteries</span></a>.  Ensure your device is powered by brand name batteries for longer operating life.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.puremobile.com/insiderblog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/asus-tablet.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6483" title="asus tablet" src="http://www.puremobile.com/insiderblog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/asus-tablet-e1325880787165.jpg" alt="ASUS Rumored to Soon Release Sleeker Tablet" width="520" height="399" /></a>Both of these devices rocked a 10.1 inch display. What makes these ASUS tablets especially popular is their versatility. They can dock into a keyboard which converts it into a netbook thus making  it more user friendly for users that prefer a <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/All/Memory-&amp;-Electronics/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">wireless keyboard</span></a> over a soft keyboard. With the myriad of micro <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/All/Memory-&amp;-Electronics/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">SD memory cards</span></a>, <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/All/Desktop-Chargers/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">desktop chargers</span></a>, <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/All/Stylus-and-Pens/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">stylus &amp; pens</span></a> and other add-on accessories available to customize tablets into a more powerful tool, this is an incredibly appealing option for Android fans.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.puremobile.com/insiderblog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/rooCASE-leather-Folio-Case.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-6485" title="Asus Cases" src="http://www.puremobile.com/insiderblog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/rooCASE-leather-Folio-Case.jpg" alt="ASUS Rumored to Soon Release Sleeker Tablet" width="300" height="300" /></a>With this kind of popularity, it is no surprise that ASUS has started some exciting buzz around some speculated tablet debuts at the fast approaching Consumer Electronics Show in February. According to <em>Notebook Italia</em>, which recently shared leaked promotional images, they believe that the tablet manufacturer is preparing to uncover a 7 inch Eee Pad tablet. New inventive accessories for these prospective smaller tablets will be interesting to see considering the popularity of the hard keyboards on the 10.1 inch versions.  Leaving your valuable mobile devices unprotected is risky!  Discover the latest innovative protection solutions&#8230; stylish top brand <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/All/Bags,-Sleeves-&amp;-Travel-Cases/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">bags, sleeves and cases</span></a> specifically designed to protect your devices from scratches and blemishes.  Tough on the outside, sweet on the inside these brand name protection accessories combine complete device coverage with sleek artistic expression.</p>
<p>Whether this is the long awaited Eee Pad MeMO (which made its first appearance at last year’s Consumer Electronic Show), or maybe even a new, sleeker and smaller Transformer tablet, the wait will not be long and an official announcement will put wondering minds at ease in just a few short weeks!</p>

Before the jailbreak incident, this alternative tablet was poised as promising market success. However, Google’s Android OS based tablets the iPad 2 and iPad 3 took and continues to hold consumer mindset and the lion&#8217;s share of the market. Apple&#8217;s breakthrough marketing strategy was the catalyst that actually <em>created</em> the both the tablet market consumer demand. State of the art accessories? Customer driven innovations?  Unfortunately, RIM marketing campaign for the Blackberry PlayBook was not revolutionary enough for a discerning public. The bottom line of this failure in mediocrity was a $485 million loss in the third quarter of 2011 due to the PlayBook&#8217;s sluggish sales.  Let our  trend setting fashionable <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/All/Cases-and-Skins/">cases and skin</a> accessories express your unique style.  Make your mobile devices stand out.  Customize your look &#8211; how cool can you be?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Throughout the holiday season mobile retailers and device manufacturers alike look to close out the year’s sales strong. Research In Motion was no different except that they started aggressively dropping prices in an attempt to clear out the excess inventory. These discounts did appear to help both RIM’s and their distribution partners move units of the QNX based tablet.

<p><a href="http://www.puremobile.com/insiderblog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/blackberry-playbook-accessories-2110214193843.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6475" title="blackberry-playbook-accessories-2110214193843" src="http://www.puremobile.com/insiderblog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/blackberry-playbook-accessories-2110214193843-e1325880060689.jpg" alt="RIM Radically Slashes BlackBerry PlayBook Prices" width="510" height="384" /></a></p>
<p>With any luck, RIM can recoup some losses, move the tablets, and start out the new year on a higher note. To kick off these goals, they are making all three of their PlayBook models for $299. That is an outrageously steep $400 discount off the 64GB version. In addition to these discounts, the company would be smart to pair it with promoting the accompanying <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/BlackBerry/BlackBerry-PlayBook-accessories/">tablet accessories</a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>If they can successfully lure in customers, upsell accessories and spin a silver lining around the cloudy RIM brand with the upcoming update&#8230; which is slated native email among other great improvements, the PlayBook and RIM can learn from 2011’s mistakes and launch itself back into an increasingly competitive market in an effort to carve out a niche.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.puremobile.com/insiderblog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/iPad3.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6112" src="http://www.puremobile.com/insiderblog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/iPad3.jpg" alt="Apple iPad 3 Rumors Abound" width="450" height="317" /></a></p>
<p>Even with Steve Jobs gone from the Apple helm, his revolutionary, consumer-inspired products continue to be hot on the market. Upcoming releases start the buzz early on and steadily grow in intensity&#8230; resulting in a resounding drone by the time the product actually arrives in Apple stores and the Occupy Apple Store participants can open their deceivingly simple boxes and lovingly put their new toys in their designer cases.   Discover the latest Apple <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/Apple/Cell-Phones/"><span style="text-decoration: underline">iPhone</span></a>, <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/Apple/Apple-iPad-3G-and-Wifi-accessories/"><span style="text-decoration: underline">iPad</span></a>, <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/Apple/Apple-iPod-Touch-4th-accessories/"><span style="text-decoration: underline">iPod</span></a> and <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/Apple/Apple-Macbook-Pro-17-inch-accessories/"><span style="text-decoration: underline">MackBook</span></a> accessories</p>
<p>With the iCult in full force, be prepared to be inundated with news of the next generation <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/Apple/Apple-iPad-2-accessories/"><span style="text-decoration: underline">iPad table</span>t</a> that is rumored to be released between mid-March and mid-April of next year. A skeptic may ask “How do they know this?” Well. As of now this news is being cited as an anonymous source in Apple’s component supply chain by <em>DigiTimes</em>. The second generation iPad still has high production (in the 14 – 15 million unit range for 2011’s fourth quarter).  But come January, Apple will significantly drop its orders to suppliers to somewhere in the 4 to 5 million range. The supplier that gives its name and solid credence to these reports is Foxconn who has indicated that in the first quarter of 2012 they will build 9.5 – 9. 7 million iPad 3 units.  Protect your Apple devices with <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/All/Bags,-Sleeves-&amp;-Travel-Cases/"><span style="text-decoration: underline">innovative protective solutions</span></a> and <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/All/Memory-&amp;-Electronics/"><span style="text-decoration: underline">premium electronic accessories</span></a><span style="text-decoration: underline"> </span>from the industry&#8217;s most leading bra</p>
<p>So with all this talk of production, what will be new with the next iPad? Well, as of now, this next Apple tablet is said to be a bit thicker than the <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/Apple/Apple-iPad-2-accessories/"><span style="text-decoration: underline">iPad 2</span></a> which would leave room to include a high resolution Retina Display. Earlier speculation thought the next generation iPad would launch in February, but this latest news from suppliers clarifies matters. It remains to be seen if this difference in size will affect the versatility of accessories.  Enhance your mobility&#8230; turn your device into a power tool.  Discover <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/All/Stylus-and-Pens/"><span style="text-decoration: underline">select accessories</span></a> specifically designed to make your devices functionally efficient and performance rich.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.puremobile.com/insiderblog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Apple-iPad2-with-Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-101.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6114" src="http://www.puremobile.com/insiderblog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Apple-iPad2-with-Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-101-e1323904034270.jpg" alt="Apple iPad 3 Rumors Abound" width="500" height="341" /></a></p>
<p>Because of the exclusive BGR report last week which stated Samsung’s timeline in revealing its new tablet at the Mobile World Congress in February. This new <a href="http://www.puremobile.ca/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-10.1-accessories/"><span style="text-decoration: underline">Samsung tablet</span></a> may give the newest addition to the Apple family some genuine competition as it will be featuring a Retina-topping display resolution as well.</p>
<p>Translation? Samsung will have a first to market tablet with the Retina-topping screen. Likely to capture some market share and give Apple its first “run for its money” in the tablet sector.</p>
