- Official BlackBerry PlayBook Mini Keyboard coming on March 23rd for $120?
While there’s an array of unofficial third-party keyboards willing to pair up with your 7-inch RIM slate, an approved peripheral is likely to be the better option. At least, it’s what the BlackBerry-authorized add-on aims to accomplish. Dubbed Mini Keyboard, which also doubles as a “convertible” case, it’s said to start shipping on March 23rd for $120, packing a multitouch trackpad and claiming up to a month of juice on a single charge. Additionally, the device features 128bit encryption to put your paranoia at ease when you’re using that shiny OS 2.0. We’ve yet to hear an official word from RIM about price and availability, however, the source below seems to be taking pre-orders now.Official BlackBerry PlayBook Mini Keyboard coming on March 23rd for $120? originally appeared on Engadget on Sat, 10 Mar 2012 17:35:00 EDT.

N4BB, TheSource.ca | Email this | Comments - Marvel Comics greets true believers with free digital copy for select print titles
With great purchasing power apparently comes great affordability for Marvel Comics fans. Starting this June, folks who purchase any Marvel super hero comic priced at $3.99 will also get a free digital copy for Android or iOS. Examples of Marvel titles that will come with free codes include the Amazing Spider-Man, Avengers, Captain America, Mighty Thor and Invincible Iron Man. The new program continues the trend of comic book publishers invading the digital space like famished planet-eaters — Dark Horse, for instance, recently made a deal with Barnes & Noble. Similarly, DC Comics inked an agreement with Amazon, a move that got some DC titles sent to the Phantom Zone by B&N. Judging from the positive response to digital codes included in the Ultimate Comics line and Avenging Spider-Man, Marvel expects the expanded code program to act like a radioactive spider bite for comic book stores, boosting repeat visits. Feel that tingling? That’s your own Spidey sense telling you to swing past the break for Marvel’s official PR.

Smartphone world cup: Samsung Galaxy S9+ is our champion
Our Smartphone World Cup is over and it saw record participation. The final alone saw over 100,000 votes and not one but two changes in the lead. If this Cup taught us anything is that fan engagement is invaluable for the success of a phone. But first, congratulations go to the winner - Samsung Galaxy S9+. It won by a healthy margin, the final score was divided 58/42 in percentage terms, though it was pretty close for a while. Things changed day to day. The S9+ got the early lead and it seemed as it may cruise to victory. Yet, the OnePlus 6 rallied its fans and with 48h remaining it...
Galaxy Note9's 4,000 mAh battery confirmed by Brazil's National Telecommunications Agency
This just in - the National Telecommunications Agency in Brazil confirmed the Galaxy Note9's massive battery in a leaked document. The certification document doesn't reveal much but it confirms one of the main features the Galaxy Note9 will boast over its predecessor - the 4,000 mAh battery. Rumors about the large battery capacity have been going around since April and the bit was later confirmed by a different source in June. Now, a month later, ANATEL is here to solidify these claims with an official document. We think that it doesn't get any more legitimate than this. We hope...
Wireless Charger Duo for the Galaxy Note9 leaks, it can charge the Galaxy Watch too
Roland Quandt just posted a photo of the wireless charger that's going to be announced for the Galaxy Note9 and we have good and bad news. Remember when a leaked FCC document hinted at a crazy fast wireless charger for the Note9 with an output of 25W? Well, the leaked photo shows the very same charger called Wireless Charger Duo with model number EP-N6100. The good news is that it can charge the smartphone and the upcoming Galaxy Watch both at the same time. Pretty convenient, right? Well, yes and no, because as it turns out, the charger is rated at 25W because it has to charge not...
Oppo F9 will come with a Pro version, passes Bluetooth certification
There will be a successor to the Oppo F7 after all despite the existing phone being fresh on the shelves since this spring. The latest teaser from Oppo that appeared online suggests that the handset will be coming very soon so an August launch seems plausible. From the teaser, we can conclude that the device will come with a double camera setup on the back and historically, the phones from the F-series have been mostly selfie-centric so we can expect an upgrade to the front-facing snapper as well. Meanwhile, the F9 has popped up on the Bluetooth certification website hinting at...
Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium hands-on review
Premium Sony Xperias is where a lot of firsts happen - first 4K display on a smartphone with the Z5 Premium, first HDR display on a smartphone with the XZ Premium alongside 960fps super slow-mo video recording, and now, on the Xperia XZ2 Premium - a dual camera for the first time on a Sony smartphone (a bit late to that party, eh?).
