Wow. 100 episodes. Even crazier: we have had a BBGeekcast every single week, without fail, since starting it up in February 2008. We’ll hit our two-year anniversary in about a month, but until then we’ll have fun celebrating the century mark. And we have some good BlackBerry stuff to discuss, as always.

It’s the last show of 2009! It was a good year for RIM, as they released a number of high-quality devices — the Curve 8900, the Tour, the Curve 2, the Storm 2, and the Bold 9700. They’ll surely gear up for a similar year in 2010. But we don’t quite talk about that. Instead, it’s all about RIM’s big promise: security.

There are certain events that signal the nearing of a BlackBerry release. One of them is when a device hits eBay, which the BlackBerry Tour 2 (Essex) did this past week. The timeline is a bit strange this time around, though, which is our main topic on the Geekcast this week.

This was not the best week for computers at BBGeeks Studios. On Wednesday evening my laptop took a foot and a half tumble into oblivion. On Thursday morning Coopers computer crashed and erased mostly everything. So we’re dealing with plenty of issues here. That doesn’t mean there’s not a Geekcast, though! It’s short, and we only cover two topics, but the show must go on.
