So you thought The O2 was only good for live music events right? Wrong! The O2 has just announced a three-way of big sporting events coming our way at the UK’s best entertainment venue…. first of all we have the Khan vs Kotelnik fight on 27 June – promising to be a good one, that.…
UK: O2 busy pushing lotsa good music with Priority ticketing!
Yep, O2 sure are busy – now I’ve no idea if they are gearing up for a new iPhone launch or not, but at least if not, they’ve got plenty in terms of good music to deliver! Check out the mail I got (above) – detailing not only the fact that O2 subs get lots…
IntoMobile Featured on BoxTone Prediction Panel at WES
At the big annual BlackBerry show last week, WES 2009, I had the pleasure of sitting in with fellow bloggers from CIO, CrackBerry, Port3101 and BlackBerry Cool regarding what we thought would happen in the next three years in the wireless space. We each had distinctly different angles, so if you’ve got the half hour…
Web-Based BlackBerry Widgets En Route
The most eye-catching of the many sessions at RIM’s Wireless Enterprise Symposium was the introduction of BlackBerry widgets, which are built entirely on web-based languages. This is the horn Palm is busy tooting for WebOS, but RIM’s take will be a little different. They’re essentially working on a hybrid system which will allow developers to…
RealPlayer Working on Mobile Video Conversion Software
RealPlayer had a booth at WES showing off a very handy utility that’s still in the works (and so no pics), but certainly worth a mention. Their desktop application chews through videos and compresses them to a mobile-friendly format for a variety of different platforms. Of course support for all the latest BlackBerrys was shown…
Hands-On with Lenovo Constant Connect for BlackBerry
Lenovo’s Constant Connect card was launched shortly before WES 2009, and while at the show, I got a chance to take a looksee for myself. The acessory basically plugs into a ThinkPad and lets your e-mails recieved by BlackBerry get shunted right through to Outlook on your computer. The real genius here is that this…
Hands-On with AT&T BlackBerry 8900
So, there was no BlackBerry 9630 Niagara/Tour announcement at the Wireless Enterprise Symposium as we had all hoped, but AT&T was more than happy to show off their newest baby, the BlackBerry 8900 Curve. T-Mobile may have already had it for a few months, but no doubt there will be plenty of folks married to…
Tether Your Mac with TetherBerry
I was dubious of TetherBerry at their initial launch, since their way of circumventing carrier tethering plans and policies could be a risk to subscribers violating terms of service, let alone the fact that tethering capabilities are already built into Windows and BlackBerry natively, but their latest update is most definitely worth a nod. Mac…
RIM Tantalizes with Wireless Presentation Solution
RIM co-CEO Mike Lazaridis coyly hinted at what was called the BlackBerry Wireless Presentation solution in his day 1 keynote at WES 2009. In his brief mention, it was described as something that would display Powerpoint presentations right from your BlackBerry. There’s already a little something called ShowMate, but it’s a fairly awkward, hardware-based solution.…
IBM and SAP Partner up for Alloy – BlackBerry Business Flow Software
BlackBerry is, of course, an enterprise device first and foremost, and it’s a big focus of this year’s Wireless Enterprise Symposium. For the day 1 keynote, IBM General Manager Bob Picciano introduced a BlackBerry enterprise solution called Alloy, which was first announced back in January at their own annual show, Lotusphere. Alloy is essentially an…
