Man, RIM just can’t catch a break this week. On on the heels of recent Blackberry bans originating from the Middle East and an all new BlackBerry Torch, the latest BlackBerry news has yet another defector — the EU Commission. Much like the other countries that have denounced the BlackBerry so far, too great of security is the reasoning behind the EU’s move.

FaceTime may be restricted to WiFi-only, officially, but that doesn’t mean consumers don’t have options. On the more “Apple approved” front, you’ve got Fring. But if you want to use the “one more thing” that truly makes the iPhone4 the iPhone 4, jailbreaking is your only answer.

For those keeping count, you can have all the awesomeness of Facetime without AT&T’s craptastic limitations by using Fring. Though not everyone is a Fring user. ...

Some are just easier to love than others. On that note, according to research published by Canalys, Q2 was huge for Android, seeing its market share jump to 34%, besting RIM’s 32.7% and Apple’s 24% based on the 14.2 million handsets sold during said...
