- Ok. You can ask them to add TradeVibes. Maybe they will?

- I just wish they supported TradeVibes as I have strong aversion to CrunchBase for business reasons.

Call me a sycophantic Apple freak but surely Blackberry doesn't have shit on the iPhone! The main reason being that (at least from my experience) they have refused to properly support any kind of open standards when it comes to their browser.

Point in case: The fuss that was made about the blackberry facebook application was an absolute joke since if they had a decent browser on their in the first place then you'd just be able to surf the website instead of using the crappy installable app (have you tried it?). Because the iphone has a web browser that works, you are able to surf [almost] any website on it without any trouble.

As a conclusion: IMHO Web-apps and open-standards are the future. Proprietary mobile applications are most certainly not.

Disclaimer: I've not actually used the new blackberry BOLD so maybe they've turned the corner and it's really good. Somehow I doubt it though.

Hi Marcus,

I hear you but we shall see as the new OS on the Blackberry Bold is supposed to be a huge upgrade and the browser is rumoured to be standards based etc.

Also I love the new little web apps but for serious mainline use I prefer mob-based apps as I don't like in again and again and I don't like worrying about my connection etc all the time. With an app on my phone it can be taught contention issues and even save before it tries to send too.

Definitely room for both and with SilverLight around the corner the world should be smaller and more mobile than ever.

Cheers
