- Shopko mobile prescription service proves popular
More than 1,000 prescriptions a day are being refilled via mobile devices at Midwest retailer Shopko, which launched the service last year. "Mobile prescription refills allow customers to easily and quickly refill their prescription through a variety of ways: respond to a text message, scan a bottle or type in the prescription number. The customer also no longer has to wait by the pharmacy counter since they get a text message letting them know as soon as the prescription is ready," said Dana Marotto, director of marketing at mscripts.

- BlackBerry 10's Android runtime will soon support Jelly Bean
BlackBerry 10′s Android runtime, currently running the 2-year-old Gingerbread platform, will soon be updated to support Jelly Bean applications, according to Engadget. The addition of Jelly Bean "means more apps, more revenue, and potentially, fewer people running away from BlackBerry 10 because of an undeveloped app ecosystem," Ricardo Bilton writes. The company is also sending out 12,000 limited-edition red Z10 models to developers as a thank you gift for creating apps. VentureBeat/Gadgets
