Update from Shape Services Regarding IM+ for the BlackBerry PlayBook

2011-07-19T21:14:00.001-07:00

Just wanted to give you all a quick update on the IM+ for the BlackBerry PlayBook Delay. Our friends at Shape Services has spoken out and here is what they had to say:

Shape’s Development Head Alex and myself just had a talk with Tyler Lessard, RIM’s VP, Global Alliances and Developer Relations.

Tyler was really friendly and helpful and we have now a hope that IM+ for Playbook will be approved within two weeks or so. We understand that to approve such an complex app can take the same time or more as the development of IM+ for Playbook itself. Just as remember, the app is now for two months in the testing queue.

And the best of the talk: after years of our requests to RIM we got from Tyler a promise to consider BlackBerry Push usage for IM+. It would make user experience on the BlackBerry platform the same kind of beautiful like on iOS.

Please continue to follow-up the story, it will really help to make things done. And to celebrate the moment we will offer to our friends from CrackBerry.com 25 free licenses of IM+ Pro for BlackBerry right now and 25 free licenses of IM+ for Playbook after release.

It is nice to hear that they are making progress on the application making its way to BlackBerry App World for the BlackBerry PlayBook. The Application is one of my favorites and would love to see it on the BlackBerry PlayBook!

Will Bell Mobility carry Blackberry Playbook?

2011-03-07T10:21:00.000-08:00

Will Bell Mobility carry Blackberry Playbook?: "

RIM’s BlackBerry PlayBook tablet is coming to Canada – it’s just a matter of how many carriers will have it available. Rogers is currently the only one who has 100% confirmed they’ll be launching the PlayBook. WIND stated a few months back they are working on getting it, Mobilicity said they want it and TELUS’ CEO said he’s “bullish on the PlayBook“. This really only leaves Bell.

Bell owns 100% of the retail chain The Source and they only advertise Bell, Virgin and Solo devices in their flyers. Taking a look at the most recent flyer (page 4) states “Coming Soon – the Blackberry PlayBook tablet”… so you can confidently say this will make its way to Bell – it’s just a matter of when and how much.

According to RIM: PlayBook will start under $500

According to RIM: PlayBook will start under $500: "

RIM held a little PlayBook party here in New York yesterday, giving us a chance to hang out with Ryan Bidan, the company’s senior product manager for the seven-inch tablet. In addition to chatting with us about battery life, connectivity, and pricing, Ryan clarified the PlayBook’s app development model — although devs can choose to work with native code, Java, Adobe Air, and HTML5 / WebWorks, the idea is for the ultimate user experience to be seamless, and RIM is considering offering standard UI widgets for each environment. We also had to ask about those swirling rumors of Android support, and while we commend Ryan for his practiced non-answer, we can’t help but feel we detected a hint of a smile on his face…

Is Blackberry falling behind Android and Apple?

2011-03-07T10:19:00.002-08:00

Is Blackberry falling behind Android and Apple?: "

It was only a matter of time, not a matter of if, Google’s Android operating system would become the dominate mobile platform. That time is now.

According to the very latest data from Nielsen, Android now commands a 29% market share of smartphone users in the US. While that isn’t even close to being a majority, it is a plurality that topples all of its competitors.

Meanwhile, Blackberry has fallen to 27% and Apple’s iOS platform remains largely flat at 27% as well, where it has seemed to comfortably sit for a while.

Bringing up the read was Windows Phone 7 at 10%, Palm OS at 4%, and Nokia’s antiquated Symbian with 2%, thanks only to people who have legacy Nokia phones as there are no current Symbian smartphones on the market in the US.

This is a cataclysmic event, as it brings Android ahead of a platform that for years was the leading smartphone software. Blackberry’s operating system became so ubiquitous with business that it seemed impossible to ever dethrone it from the top spot in overall market share. After all, companies would buy Blackberry phones in bulk, sometimes hundreds or even thousands at a time.

No one really expected enterprise customers to start switching over, en masse, to the new consumer platforms of Android and iOS, but that’s exactly what it happening. Blackberry had managed to hold onto its #1 title for a while, but that was only because it had such a commanding lead. The company behind Blackberry, Research in Motion, has been sloughing off market share for over a year. In just the past 12 months it has dropped double-digit market share thanks mostly to Android. The iPhone hasn’t really advanced much, but it isn’t falling either.

Apple still has a pretty nice lead in the tablet market, though that may change as 2011 gets into full swing and a number of anticipated Android tablets hit store shelves.

Will BlackBerry OS 7 come out in November?

2011-03-07T10:19:00.001-08:00

Will BlackBerry OS 7 come out in November?: "

A leaked set of slides shows Research in Motion’s aggressive tactics to maintain its high share in the consumer smartphone market.

The slides detail not only some of the new product names but also their projected release dates, with BlackBerry OS 7, the latest revision of its smartphone software, headed for release before the Christmas spending push.

BlackBerry OS 7 (operating system)

The PlayBook’s operating system diverts from the norm and takes on an entirely new platform, based on QNX. It could well be that the traditional BlackBerry OS software will be ditched in favour for the new, more dynamic software running on the PlayBook, opening up device potential to a wealth of faster, newer devices.

It is not clear whether older devices will eventually upgrade to the new expected-to-be QNX-based BlackBerry OS 7 or will be upgraded to BlackBerry OS 6.1, the last revision of the current operating system.

Expected: By Thanksgiving/Christmas in October or November.

BlackBerry Internet Service (service)

Last week the feature list to the next generation BlackBerry Internet Service leaked online, including integration with the single sign-on service and improvements to Google Calendar.

It’s not clear what the next version after will provide, but it is expected to be only a minor revision to the functionality rolling out this or next month.

Expected: BIS 4.0 either this month or April, with another updated BIS 4.1 release expected for August and September.

BlackBerry Protect (security application)

In private beta throughout most of last year, BlackBerry Protect, Research in Motion’s smartphone protection software, is already in the hands of a greater number of wider BlackBerry users. It is expected to be released fully this or next month, with a wider pool of bugs and revisions to make it into the 1.2 beta expected in May.

Expected: 1.0 and 1.1 in beta already, and an expected release before the 1.2 beta in May

BlackBerry News (application)

A new application which is described in the slides as an ‘instant, always-on news reader application’ designed for accessing the latest information. Not only will it allow networks to push through news to their own customers, it’ll also add a further incentive towards the single sign-on solution of BlackBerry ID.

Expected: BlackBerry News 1.1 in May and early June.

App World for PlayBook (application store)

According to the slides, though the PlayBook missed its chance to kick start a competitive chance against the rival tablet iPad 2, the BlackBerry App World for PlayBook is expected out this month. This signifies a release for BlackBerry PlayBook this month, along with a 2.1 release for BlackBerry OS 5/6 devices.

Expected: BlackBerry App World for PlayBook is expected this month.

Other new applications

Facebook 2.0:The next generation of the world’s most popular social network brought to the BlackBerry device, which will include Facebook Chat. Expected: Beta 1 is already out (February), with Beta 2 out this month, with a final general availability in May.

Social Feeds 2.0: An update for BlackBerry OS 6.1 devices only which combines social networks and feeds, including Facebook, Twitter, BlackBerry Messenger and instant messenger clients. New features include with eadand unread indicators, community specific functionality such as retweeting and integration with BlackBerry News. Expected: May release for BlackBerry OS 6.1 devices.

This is very exciting! Seems like Office Depot is going to be one of the retail stores to carry the BlackBerry PlayBook. This is the very first time we have seen any clue on the price of the tablet. Seems like Office Depot is going to be offering the 16GB version for $499.99. The other day we saw that Staples will also carry it. Seems like we are looking at a late March/ early April which is very close! Which size PlayBook do you think you will need?

VP of Strategy for RIM, David Heit Shows off BlackBerry PlayBook

VP of Strategy for RIM, David Heit Shows off BlackBerry PlayBook: "

the guys over at CIO Zone got together with David Heit, the VP of Strategy for RIM to get a nice preview of the BlackBerry PlayBook. According to the video the PlayBook should be shipping on March 31st. Make sure you

Here are somethings they went over:

VPN mode: According to Heit this will simply open up a VPN connection to your corporate network when you are using Wi-Fi

Bridge mode: This is the Bluetooth bridge that can be made between the PlayBook and a BlackBerry phone that will allow you access to email, calendars, BBM, and more. No confirmation in this video on if that will allow intranet access through BES/MDS but hopefully.

BlackBerry Balance Mode: This mode will only be coming after the PlayBook hits the market. Just like what RIM is doing on BlackBerrys this will allow companies to deploy IT Policies to restrict the interaction between work and personal information and access on a PlayBook. In other words IT Policies are coming to the PlayBook. Heit also clearly states that BES is the obvious choice to manage such a device.

Corporate Only Mode – This mode is how many work issued BlackBerrys work today. A company would be able to issue a PlayBook to an employee and totally lock it down to corporate use only. This is must for highly sensitive fields along with governments and other use cases. Still this mode is also coming after launch.

How To Copy Contacts to/from Your SIM Card

2010-12-24T09:06:00.000-08:00

Many people’s first instinct when they get a new mobile device is to import their contacts from their SIM card. Luckily, copying from your SIM card to your device is a quick and simple process, and only takes a couple of minutes. Unfortunately however, copying from your phone to your SIM card can be a bit tedious if you want to copy a number of contacts. Nevertheless, here’s how to do both:

To copy from SIM to phone

1) Enter your contacts application and press the menu key. Choose SIM Phone Book.

Here, you will see all contacts currently stored on your SIM card.

2) To copy an individual contact from SIM to phone, highlight the contact and press the menu key. Choose Add to Contacts

Choose which contact list to copy it to, and enter any other details.

To copy all contacts from your SIM card to your BlackBerry device, go to your SIM Phone Book, press the menu key, and choose Copy All to Contacts

To copy from phone to SIM

1) Enter your contact list and click on the contact you wish to copy to your SIM card. Press the menu button and choose Copy to SIM Phone Book.

Unfortunately there is no way to transfer all contacts to you SIM card at once, so you’ll have to do it one by one. If you’re switching from one BlackBerry to another, you may want to consider using BlackBerry Desktop Manager to back-up your contacts.
