Although TCL killed its license to make BlackBerry phones last year, the unkillable BlackBerry fandom lives on, buoyed by the promise of a quality smartphone with a hardware keyboard. The BlackBerry fandom s hopes were raised last August by the appearance of OnwardMobility, a new licensee that said it would make new BlackBerrys, but months later, people are asking: when will the new BlackBerry come out?
OnwardMobility promises a BlackBerry smartphone during the first half of 2021, but it s been curiously quiet since its initial announcement last August. I checked in with the company, and didn t get much of an update. While it s hiring sales staff, it has zero to say about the development of an actual product.
Video Games
Probably some of my first experiences with video games were before starting elementary school, playing Pac-Man and Centipede at a local pizza place, there were loads of quarters spent, numerous rounds played and hot pizza. I remember feeling the utter excitement of playing video games as a kid, some of my very first encounters with video game consoles were with the Atari 2600 and Intellivision when visiting family friends homes. To this day, Breakout, created by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, continues to be one of my favorite Atari games of all times.
Beyond eating pizza and visiting other people’s houses to play, my Mum and I went to a department store to purchase a Vectrex, an all in one video game console with a monitor and over 20 games for my Dad as the big holiday gift. My Dad let me play for years.
