Aha! Former Congressman Anthony Weiner, whose political career was torpedoed by some terrible sexting (crotch shots, depressingly intimate chats, terrible self-portraits) is not totally off the grid when it comes to his new son's birth. According to the Post, Weiner sent a message via Blackberry—"Subject: Jordan Zain Weiner"—stated the short but sweet text. “7lbs 5.8 oz of sparkling wonder; Did I mention his mom is amazing?; We love you for welcoming him." more ›

Fresh off getting mooning charges against her dropped, diminutive rapper Foxy Brown sat down with the NY Post to discuss how she's incredibly misunderstood, "The mooning thing bothered me more than anything else in the past -- because I'm a lady."

We've known about the affliction "Blackberry thumb" for a while now, but chances are it hasn't affected anyone who didn't deserve it. But what are you doing to protect your dainty neck as it bobs up and down in between sexts? A Midtown salon is now offering a $200 "Blackberry Facial" for those of us who are subconscious about the state of their nape, and a brave Daily News reporter underwent the treatment to see if it made a difference. Symptoms of "Blackberry neck" are wrinkles, soreness, and the inability to just put the goddamn thing down for three seconds while a cashier rings up your pack of Orbit. more ›

Celebrities, they're just like us! Except sometimes they're entitled douchebags sitting in first class and acting like the laws don't pertain to them, only to the cattle in the back. Like young Josh Duhamel for example (we know, he seems so nice in the movies!). According to TMZ, Duhamel was on a flight from New York (LGA) to Kentucky yesterday and he flat out refused to turn his BlackBerry off—a move that eventually got him kicked to the curb. more ›

Bloomberg News reports that JPMorgan is giving all of its investment banking associates iPads in a pilot program. An internal memo said, "We believe there are real benefits in our working environment that can be realized using this device - as well as the personal productivity and enjoyment that come as part of the package," and an analysts think that this means trouble for Blackberry maker Research In Motion. One said, "There are two things attracting IT managers to the iPad: it’s easy to use and the price is pretty attractive relative to traditional notebooks." But the real question is: What's a good dwarf app? more ›

A one night stand in Hell's Kitchen proved particularly unsatisfying when a thug stopped mid-coitus to rob his partner of a BlackBerry and $40. The two had just met and went back to the victim's place on 43rd Street near Ninth Avenue at 7:15 p.m., according to the Post's police blotter. They were going at it when all of a sudden the thief took out a knife, grabbed the 34-year-old victim's valuables and left. Before even finishing! Scant information on this one, unfortunately: no mention of the victim's gender or where the thief kept his knife (was he wearing a holster?). But then again, you might not want to reveal the juicy details to a cop either. more ›

Thieves, beware: don't mess with Mehrtash Mandana. The NY Post reports Mandana was standing at East 95th Street and typing e-mails on her BlackBerry when a teenaged bandit grabbed the 32-year-old real estate agent's smartphone right out of her hands. Mandana, unfazed and pissed, took off after the pint-sized pickpocket. She tells the Post: "He was a little runt. I went up to him and punched him in the shoulder. The cops had to pull me off him." The vigilante real estate agent—who apparently has better luck with this sort of thing than some movie stars—was ultimately able to retrieve her BlackBerry after a nearby security guard tackled the 14-year-old snatch-thief. more ›

Welcome to the underground, Kevin Bacon. Fresh off of being swindled out of money invested in Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme, actor Kevin Bacon is apparently now riding the subways and discovering the criminal air down there. The Post reports that Bacon had his Blackberry stolen Thursday at the 7th Avenue and 53rd Street B, D, and E station in Manhattan. Sources tell the paper that Bacon raced after the thief, but "lost track of him as he ran through the station's crowd." The Post seems hard up for details—certainly not made any easier when the NYPD would not confirm the robbery—but the paper makes sure to rally a team of three punsters who really bring home the Bacon reporting that the star was "smoked," "not footloose enough" and "is a lot less than six degrees of separation away from a coveted cache of A-list celebrities and boldface names likely programmed into Bacon's 'Berry." While they can only speculate that the device includes the number of the "boo 'berry" belonging to wife Kyra Sedgwick "possibly along with dozens of other box office stars who have graced the big screen with Bacon," they do confirm that over one-third of subway robberies target mobile devices. more ›

Two Jewish entrepreneurs have developed software that can turn an average BlackBerry into a sacred prayer book. They've dubbed their upgrade "The JewBerry," and have sold it to over 10,000 customers for $30 a pop, according to the Post. Co-creator Jonathan Bennett explains the appeal: "Throughout the day, Jews gather in office-building stairwells and conference rooms to pray, and while sometimes you might not remember your prayer book, no one goes anywhere without their BlackBerry." more ›
