There’s no information about what’s under the hood with this Berry, code named “Kickstart”. While certainly RIM is praying this model will continue their lucky sales streak, there are several things on my wish list for this phone.

Accounting Pacesetters Report Available Online

April 24, 2008 by Wayne Schulz

Source Media have released their annual report on the Accounting Pacesetters for 2008. From their press release:

Accounting Technology presents its annual compilation of the country’s top value-added resellers.

Pacesetters distinguish themselves through their performance. This selection does not attempt to rank the 100 firms chosen as Number 1 or Number 100.
Instead, the list was designed to reflect the diversity in product lines outside of software in each of the established markets.

Software reselling had a good year in 2007 as organizations handling midmarket accounting software continued to benefit from a good economy and the Y2K echo.
