Canadian iPhone Users Get The Royal Treatment

     If you are a fan of the Royal Family, and have been chomping at the bit for the Royal Tour (starting today), there is an app for that.
     The Department of Canadian Heritage have produced a Royal Tour app which lets you know everything happening during the tour.
     The app will compile everything said on Twitter and Facebook during the week (June 30th - July 8th, 2011), as well as be the main source of photo and video updates from the various stops.  There is also an itinerary if you want to know when they’ll be in your neck of the woods.
     Finally, the app has a neat little postcard application, where you can create postcards of any of your favorite images, and post the finished product to facebook, save it, or email it you your friends and family.

The company has seen better days, and many are starting to believe that RIM is ready to sell as the daily news continues to report RIM’s loss in the mobile marketshare. A few things lead to this, Apple and Android’s dominance in the smartphone market, RIM’s long overdue answer back with better gadgets in the wake of Apple and Google’s mobile market claim, a few executive changes which always makes people weary of stability within any company, and finally the poor response to their late entry in the ever growing tablet market with the BlackBerry PlayBook.
