Cisco has released an app for BlackBerry to join their iPhone offering that now allows you to tune into and conduct WebEx presentations while on the go. Attendees can click meeting links within BlackBerry calendar invitations or e-mails that will initiate an inbound call, launch the app, and hook them up with the desired presentation. Once in, they can send private messages and check who else is attending the WebEx presentation. Presenters will need to arrange their WebEx demos on a computer beforehand to use the mobile app, but from the Meeting Center BlackBerry app, they can begin those meetings as well as pass presenter control to someone at a PC.
If you’ve never used WebEx, is a popular web service that enables companies to give software demonstration by feeding live video of what’s on their computer screen with invited guests. It’s paired up with a call-in system so you can get the walkthrough with proper audio support, though text chatting is also supported. The download links are available below, but for a closer look, hit up the WebEx mobile site.
