  Battery life getting 10 times better?

   » ‎ BlackBerry Cool

  Nanotechnology is awesome. Some researchers from Stanford University have found a way of using nanowire anodes in lithium ion batteries to great effect. These new wires are made out of silicon, which have a considerably higher charge capacity than the usual graphite anodes, but haven’t been used because their volume increases four times over when charged. Of course, for microscopic wires, four times larger still isn’t that big, and so pulverization can be avoided. After the patents get through and the manufacturers pick this technology up, you can expect to see much higher battery capacity in not only your BlackBerry, but all portable consumer devices, like laptops, MP3 players and video cameras. You can check out the full paper here.

  Lindsay Lohan Mourns

  Lindsay Lohan hears about Heath Ledger’s unexpected death and gets comforted by a friend. Hopefully this event will wake some of our ungrateful celebrities up from their glamorous lives. Drugs and alcohol are serious issues and are not to be thrown around lightly. Be responsible.

  Heath Ledger Dead at 28

   » ‎ Celebrity BlackBerry Sightings

  

  Heath Ledger was found dead in his apartment yesterday at around 3:30pm. His housekeeper and masseuse walked into the apartment finding him sound asleep with pills scattered around the body. It’s rumored that not only sleeping aids were found in the apartment, but also prescription drugs, illegal drugs and other sorts of narcotics. The police are saying it was not suicidal but rather, accidental–caused by his pneumonia and an overdose of drugs. Our hearts and wishes goes out to Heath’s family and friends at this difficult time.

  Valerie Wang, RIM Enterprise Product Manager for IBM Technologies, presented a great Lotusphere session.

   » ‎ NotesBerry
  
  Valerie Wang, RIM Enterprise Product Manager for IBM Technologies, presented a great Lotusphere session. The best part was that it gave an overview of the whole range of integration between BlackBerry and the Lotus product range. RIM plan to mobilize the Lotus product family with BlackBerry. Here are some highlights:
  
  Notes Mail, Calendar an PIM - RIM are continuing to develop this area - future developments include HTML mail, free/busy lookup (as if you are "walking past their desk") and native attachment download to a SD card.
  
  Sametime BB Client - Looking to develop integration with the address book, integration with your buddy list so you can click on your Sametime buddy list or a chat to make a call, plus tweaks to make use easier such as presence management from your home screen.
  
  Application Development - A big theme from RIM and to help show what you can do they are offering sample code at [www.blackberry.com] For example there is a mobilized discussion database in there.
  
  Quickr BB Client - Valerie demo'd a Quickr Client which has been developed as a proof of concept. Watched it share docs and was impressed. Valerie asked people to let her know if a Quickr BlackBerry client would be good - if you want to add your voice to the many people who said yes then please contact her. Just contact me and I will send you her contact details.
  
  Websphere Portal BB Client - Again Valerie demo'd a new client for the portal
  
  Workflow - There is now code to mobilize any Domino database, you just drop it into the template (well that is what they said). Just go to  [www.blackberry.com] Hopefully that site should now be live.
  
  Connections BB Client - This was demo'd at the Keynote on Monday. The internal Beta of the client by RIM and IBM is starting next week with launch scheduled for February.
  
  This is a pretty impressive line-up, and it reflects RIM's commitment to Lotus. Have suggested to RIM that the post their presentation and will link to it if they do.

  StudentBerry helps berry-carriers hit the books

   » ‎ BlackBerry Cool

  StudentBerry has been recently released, now letting go-getter academics keep close tabs on assignments and classes. Having been an arts student, I don’t know a damn thing about hard work or diligence, but surely there are some more business-like kids out there packing BlackBerrys and wanting to stay on top of their studies. Although it’s little more than a tweaked task manager, having things changed just enough for the student life makes it a nicely tailored piece of software. In the long run, there’s plenty of opportunity for close synchronization with BlackBerry’s native address book, calendar and tasks application. More info over here.

  Viigo RSS Reader Now Has Advertising

   » ‎ BerryReview.com

  Some of you may have noticed that if you go to the Viigo Bulletins feed in Viigo you will now see an ad for American Express. A bit back ago we mentioned the fact that the Viigo logo banner had grown in the latest release. After speaking to Viigo CEO Mark Ruddock I now know that this was done to support mobile compliant ads in Viigo. He has also promised me that in the next 2 months we will be seeing some significant upgrades in the Viigo experience so stay tuned!

  

  Personally I thought that this was a long time coming. Viigo has consistently been the top RSS reader for BlackBerry. I always wondered how Viigo was going to stick around if they gave away their product free. You can’t really sustain a revenue model like that. It turns out that ads are their answer.

  Viigo has done a good job of keeping the ads as unobtrusive as possible. This has to be one of the best executions of mobile advertising I have seen to date. Don’t get me wrong, I would rather no ads but I concede the fact that Viigo needs to make money to continue doing business. So far their only advertiser seems to be American Express. I have seen some bad mobile advertising in applications before (Pocket Express) so I have something to compare against Viigo.

  Let me explain why:

  • Most importantly when you enter a feed that has ads, your selection is not defaulted to the ad. Many websites I have seen do this and it really annoys me when they put the ad “in your face.”
  • Second of all there are no ads on the homepage of Viigo. Mark told me that they will not be placing ads on that page.
  • The Viigo ads are only placed on feeds where Viigo has the explicit permission of the owners to do so
  • Viigo will also be sharing the advertising proceeds with the authors  (Nice!  More money for review products)
  • According to Mark Ruddock the ads support many cool features like click to view, click to call, click to email, and more. The ads actually take you to a mobile site.
  • Also Mark told me that the ads are cached locally on the device so they do not consume data constantly

  Okay that is enough for now. I just thought I would give you a heads up in case you started to see ads in Viigo like it did. If you are a privacy conscious individual I would recommend reading over their privacy policy to make sure your information is protected.

  The main fault I found with the current implementation of ads in Viigo is that when you click on one you are taken to the browser but when you hit the back button you are not returned to Viigo.

  Greatest BlackBerry Ringtone Ever - Rock Me Gently

   » ‎ CrackBerry.com blogs

  
  Andy Kim Performing Rock Me Gently

  As much as I'm addicted to my BlackBerry, I think I'm equally addicted to CrackBerry.com's free user-contributed BlackBerry Ringtone Gallery and BlackBerry Wallpaper Gallery. You just never know what ringtones and wallpapers people are going to add to the database... sometimes you REALLY get surprised. It demands a daily visit!

  And yesterday I was pleasantly surprised to discover a member added Andy Kim's #1 hit of the seventies ROCK ME GENTLY to the ringtone gallery. I immediately downloaded it to my Curve and have decided it might just be the greatest ringtone you can possibly have on a mobile device (either that or Europe's FINAL COUNTDOWN). I just can't help but smile and burst out into song whenever my Berry rings.

  If you're one of those people who feels compelled to break BlackBerry Etiquette and leave your ringer cranked in a crowded restaurant/room, I think Rock Me Gently would be the ringtone to have. You'll get less evil glares and more smiles if you're cranking some Andy Kim. Although, if you want to get with the times, you might want to put Soulja Boy's CRANK DAT on your BlackBerry... we have that too! [Click the CAPS TITLES above to go that ringtone download page.]

  Long Awaited BlackBerry OS 4.3.1 Re-Branded as OS 4.5

   » ‎ CrackBerry.com blogs

  

  Jibi brought word this morning that the long-waited OS 4.3.1 update (that was mentioned together with BlackBerry Enterprise Server 4.1 Service Pack 5 back in November) will be re-branded as OS 4.5.

  Beta releases of 4.3.1 have been quite visible for some time now. However, the decision to re-brand the OS as 4.5 is rumored to simply be a marketing decision, due to the number of enhancements being added to the OS.

  Everything that is expected to be in the OS will still be there including the long awaited HTML email capabilities.

  Expect this to drop somewhere near the end of February or even into March or April, depending on your carrier.

  How To: Free Memory By Removing Voice Dialing, PTT, & Others

   » ‎ BerryReview.com

  Yesterday I decided it was time to clean up house on my BlackBerry. All my applications were running very slow and I had less than 3Mb of free storage. The time had come to finally rectify the problem. Previously I would have just removed some programs I installed and that would be that. This time I decided to remove some CORE BlackBerry programs to free up some space AND remove the annoying “Say A Command” unimpressive Voice Dialing application (Which takes over 1Mb).

  Normally to remove these applications you would either have to reinstall the OS with a modified BlackBerry.alx file or remove the applications manually with the javaloader.exe utility. Recently with the new JLGUI application we mentioned previously there is a much easier way to remove these applications.

  Keep in mind you can also use this procedure to remove themes that you don’t like. You can also use it to add themes that you do.  I will try to cover that another time.

  I used a combination of the JLGUI and John Clarks instructions on BlackBerryForums.com to remove these applications. Below you will see what I did.

  1. BACKUP YOUR BLACKBERRY! There are no promises when you perform these steps so be safe! I am not sure if this procedure with work with the new BlackBerry 8130 Pearl since it has OS 4.3.
  2. Download the JLGUI application from this link: www.controlgenie.com/JLGUI.zip
  3. Unzip the application
  4. Run the JLGUI.exe file and when it asks for the location of Javaloader.exe you just point it to the file in the same directory
  5. Click the “Manual Add” button and enter in the .COD files that I will spell out below that you wish to remove
  6. Then click the “Remove” button and your done. Just let you BB restart and the apps are gone

  List of .COD files from John Clarks post on BlackBerryForums.com:

  To remove PTT from AT&T devices remove the following .cod’s:

  net_rim_bb_phone_ptt_app.cod
  KnJCDE.cod

  To Remove Voice Activated Dialing:

  Note: On Voice Dialing you likely don’t need to delete every one of these .cod’s. If you are using English only you can delete the first 4 on this list. If you’re using something other than english, delete the first 4 and then any other of the .cod’s for the language you’re using.

  net_rim_vad.cod
  net_rim_vad_resource.cod
  net_rim_vad_resource__en.cod
  net_rim_vad_engine_resource__en_US.cod
  net_rim_vad_engine_resource__en_GB.cod
  net_rim_vad_resource__de.cod
  net_rim_vad_engine_resource__de.cod
  net_rim_vad_resource__fr.cod
  net_rim_vad_engine_resource__fr.cod
  net_rim_vad_engine_resource__fr_CA.cod
  net_rim_vad_resource__it.cod
  net_rim_vad_engine_resource__it.cod
  net_rim_vad_resource__es.cod
  net_rim_vad_engine_resource__es.cod
  net_rim_vad_engine_resource__es_MX.cod
  net_rim_vad_resource__pt.cod
  net_rim_vad_resource__pt_BR.cod
  net_rim_vad_engine_resource__pt_BR.cod
  net_rim_vad_resource__hu.cod
  net_rim_vad_resource__ca.cod
  net_rim_vad_resource__cs.cod
  net_rim_vad_resource__nl.cod
  net_rim_vad_engine_resource__nl.cod
  net_rim_vad_resource__pl.cod
  net_rim_vad_engine_resource__pl.cod
  net_rim_vad_resource__tr.cod
  net_rim_vad_resource__ru.cod
  net_rim_vad_engine_resource__ru.cod
  net_rim_vad_resource__zh_CN.cod
  net_rim_vad_engine_resource__zh_CN.cod
  net_rim_vad_engine_resource__zh_HK.cod
  net_rim_vad_resource__ar.cod
  net_rim_vad_resource__ja.cod
  net_rim_vad_resource__he.cod

  To Remove Preinstalled Wallpapers:

  The prenistalled Wallpapers are the second largest .cod installed to the BB’s device memory. The first is the sample video. On some of the Pearls, the preinstalled wallpapers are the largest, even larger than the sample video. The sample video can be removed using the application loader but the preinstalled wallpapers can’t. We can remove them by removing the associated .cod from the java folder:

  On Qwerty devices:
  net_rim_bb_media_320×240_b.cod (1.7MB)

  On SureType devices (pearl)
  net_rim_bb_media_240×260_b.cod (3.5MB)

  Note: Removing this media.cod will also remove custom folder icons (which I don’t use anyway.) You can still add a folder to your homescreen but your only choice will be the yellow folder icon. (thanks to Iare Tosevite for bringing this to my attention.)

  RIM Previews New BlackBerry Client for IBM Lotus Connections

   » ‎ CrackBerry.com blogs

  

  Following up RIM's official announcement yesterday at Lotusphere 2008 of BlackBerry Platform Enhancements, RIM dropped news today of an entirely new product as they preview a BlackBerry Client for IBM Lotus Connections. You'll want to read the full press release after the jump for the details, but it's essentially social networking on your BlackBerry for BlackBerry Enterprise users (i.e. Facebook for work).

  Though as a BIS customer I will never use this app on my BlackBerry, I'm still excited to see it come to life. Last May at RIM's Wireless Enterprise Symposium I had a chance to meet many cool people, including some really nice RIM employees. During the week, I had an impromptu 30 minute sit down with two of them and they picked my brain (they wanted some consumer-oriented input) on what now turns out to be this application! I'm glad to see it come together!

  New GPS applications hit BlackBerry

   » ‎ BB Geeks

  The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is a breeding ground for innovation. Companies tend to unveil some of their cornerstone technologies here. This is the case with Trimble, who announced the availability of three GPS applications for BlackBerry users. If you’ve got the 8830 or the 8130 with built-in GPS, you’ll be able to see what these programs can do for you.
  

  “Trimble has extended its breath of offerings by making our GPS-based software applications available for CDMA-based BlackBerry smartphones,” said Larry Fox, business development director, Trimble Outdoors. “BlackBerry smartphones offer a distinctive platform for experiencing outdoor adventures.”

  The first program, AllSport GPS, acts as a fitness tracker. You can monitor your time, speed, calories burned, and distance traveled with this program. This allows for easy storage of workouts, which you can assemble into graphs and charts. It even allows you to download maps which indicate recommended routes.

  Geocache Navigator is a treasure hunting application. While I’m not quite clear on its purpose, it appears to be just that — guiding you towards a predetermined destination. Whether that destination is set by the user or some computer, I’m not sure. I would hope that it’s just a basic GPS mapping program. Anyway, you get on-screen maps with compass navigation, in addition to speed, heading, location, distance, cache description logs, “hints and other useful information for both teh most experienced and novice user.” This is something I’ll have to look into.

  Finally, Trimble Outdoors — the application, not the company — is an outdoor planning application perfect for hikers and campers. You can leave a “breadcrumb trail” and mark points of interest along the way. “Users can also leverage the multi-media components of their phones to create photographic, video, and audio notes of their trips for sharing online and viewing in Google Earth.” Now that’s neat.

  They’re not too expensive, either. It’ll cost you $40 for the year or $6 per month for all three. You can get it through Handmark.

  JLGUI - GUI Frontend For Javaloader

   » ‎ BerryReview.com

  I will preface this post by saying that playing around with Javaloader is not for the faint of heart. If you don’t know what Javaloader is I would recommend just ignoring this post.  With that said many of us have been using Javaloader.exe for quite a few years now to manually remove and add .COD files that we could not remove/add using the Desktop Manager or BlackBerry itself.

  Recently I had a need to remove some stubborn .COD files that I could not remove and I did not want to have to reinstall my BlackBerry. Honestly I was trying to remove the Voice Activated dialing application and Push-To-Talk app. The voice dialing application was just a pain and never really worked. On top of that every time I ended a call with my Bluetooth headset it would bring up the voice dialing application “Say A Command” annoyance.

  I succeeded in removing both applications in a much simpler fashion by using a free application frontend for Javaloader called JLGUI. JLGUI was released by FiddlerMD on PinStack a month or two ago and I never really had a need for it until recently. What I did find is that the application really does help when it comes to manually removing and adding .COD files without having to resort to the command line. Thanks Fiddler!

  Check out JLGUI at this link: www.controlgenie.com/JLGUI.zip

  Filtering your messages on the BlackBerry

   » ‎ BB Geeks

  By this point, you’re using the home screen shortcuts like a pro and the navigation shortcuts for your BlackBerry messages like a pro. Now we’ll move on to sorting and filtering your messages.
  
  If you’re unsure of what is meant by filtering, the BlackBerry has shortcuts to allow you to see only certain types of messages at a time. Helpful if you’re looking for a text message or something else that you can’t bring up via search and numerous other reasons.

  To filter messages, use any of the following commands…

  Incoming messages and calls only	Alt + I
  Outgoing messages only	Alt + O
  All phone calls	Alt + P
  All SMS messages	Alt + S
  All MMS messages	Alt + M
  Voicemail messages only	Alt + V

  Lotus Connections client due mid-year

   » ‎ BlackBerry Cool

  Just when we thought RIM was just rehashing the same old promises at Lotusphere, it turns out they’re previewing a BlackBerry Client for Lotus Connections. Lotus Connections is social software for business, kind of like an enterprise Facebook. It lets you share bookmarks, set up profiles, and organize projects and communities, but for now the handheld will just let you access profiles and shared bookmarks. Still, it’s some pretty impressive software, and anyone cruising around Lotusphere today or tomorrow should swing by booth 516 to check out the new app in action. For more info, head over here.

  Does BlackBerry OS 4.5 Sound Better Than BlackBerry OS 4.3.1?

   » ‎ RIMarkable

  According to a credible BGR source, Research in Motion’s marketing department decided that they should “re-brand” the upcoming BlackBerry OS 4.3.1 and call it BlackBerry OS 4.5.

  I have just one question… Does OS 4.5 make you want to go out and buy a new device or upgrade your existing device’s OS more than OS 4.3.1?

  My guess is that, although many of folks reading this post may know exactly what version of the BlackBerry OS their device is running, the overwhelming majority of BlackBerry users couldn’t tell you that the name of their OS is BlackBerry OS, let alone the version number.

  If RIM is going to re-brand the name of the OS, why not give it a cool code name like “Mantis” or “Nexus” or any of a plethora of really cool sounding words that most folks don’t readily know the definition of.

  3 GPS apps now CDMA compliant

   » ‎ BlackBerry Cool

  The team at IntoMobile found out that three apps — AllSport GPS, Geocache Navigator, and Trimble Outdoors — are now CDMA compliant. We reported last November that all three were available, but at the time they were only available for GSM users. so it’s good to see them on the CDMA network. AllSport GPS tracks time, speed, burned calories, and distance travelled during outdoor workouts, while Trimble Outdoors allows you to plan out routes online and then send them to your phone as a guide while you’re out and about. Finally, Geocache Navigator helps you participate in the grand sport of geocaching, where you use GPS coordinates to hunt down treasures which are scattered around cities worldwide. When you find the treasures, you take the item inside and leave a gift of your own.

  Update: BlackBerry OS 4.3.1 simply re-branded, no delays expected

   » ‎ The Boy Genius Report

  

  We have received information from a very credible source that OS 4.3.1, mentioned in conjunction with BlackBerry Enterprise Server 4.1 Service Pack 5 in November’s Connecting With The Experts webinar and apparently forgotten in yesterday’s press release from RIM at Lotusphere, has actually been re-branded as OS 4.5. There will be nothing missing from this new version that is packaged with the same enhancements previously reported with OS 4.3.x, including long-awaited HTML e-mail capabilities. As initial carrier certification comes to a close, the general availability dates are still expected to fall somewhere between late February and the few months following, depending on the carrier.

  This morning’s official press release made more than a few heads in the online BlackBerry community perform a double-take, as OS 4.3.1 beta releases have been highly visible in various circles since carrier certification began last October. Per our sources, due to the number of enhancements being added to the OS, it was a marketing decision to change the version number. As we’ve previously mentioned, this should be perhaps the most anticipated OS releases for end-users since the release of OS 4.0, nearly three years ago.

  BlackBerry-Geräte sollen Office-Dokumente bearbeiten können

   » ‎ BlackBerryInsight - Deutsch

  Laut einer Meldung auf golem.de sollen BlackBerry-Geräte zukünftig auch Office-Dokumente bearbeiten können. Bisher konnte man die Dokumente lediglich ansehen aber nicht weiter bearbeiten. Die Office-Integration soll über ein Software-Update ermöglicht werden.

  Weiter heißt es in der Meldung:

  […] Um Word- und PowerPoint-Dateien bearbeiten zu können, müssen BlackBerry-Geräte mindestens die Firmware der Version 4.5 aufweisen, während für die Bearbeitung von Excel-Dateien ein Software-Update nötig ist. Dieses soll aber erst Ende 2008 erscheinen. Noch für das erste Halbjahr 2008 ist hingegen ein Update für den BlackBerry Enterprise Server 4.1.5 geplant, das die Funktionen auf Server-Seite bereitstellt. […]

  Zudem wurden beim BlackBerry Enterprise Server einige neue Features eingebaut, wie die Unterstützung von HTML-Emails.

  BerryReview Store Lauch Extravaganza! - 20% Off All Software

   » ‎ BerryReview.com

  

  We are proud to announce that the BerryReview Store is now open for business. I know many of you have asked for a store for quite awhile now so we finally put our heads together and partnered with Mobihand.com to setup the BerryReview Store.

  We feel that the BerryReview Store was the next logical step in the growth of BerryReview. You will soon be able to access all of our detailed reviews directly from the store. The reviews and editorial will remain unbiased due to the store being run by Mobihand but it will help us get you some cool savings on recommended software & accessories. The coolest part in my opinion is that the BerryReview Store also has a mobile version which you can see by visiting store.BerryReview.com from your BlackBerry.

  As the first order of business at the BerryReview Store we are offering 20% off all software until February 29^th 2008.

  That translates into 39 days of amazing savings on all software. (Pretty cool!)

  To get the discount just follow these steps:

  1. Head on over to the BerryReview Store
  2. Find what software you want to buy
  3. Add it to your cart
  4. Click the checkout button
  5. In the discount code field enter in the code BROPEN
  6. (rinse and repeat )

  Expect to see some changes at BerryReview.com in the next few weeks as things progress.

  Thats it folks! Enjoy the 39 days of deals.

  PS: Sorry about the small design flaws in the store when viewed in Firefox. We are hard at work fixing them.
