- Top 5 BlackBerry Apps For Moms
With Mother's Day right around the corner (this Sunday the 13th — have you sent Mom a card yet?), we wanted to take a step back and recognize all their hard and often under-appreciated work. I've been talking to moms around the Research In Motion® (RIM®) offices, and we've compiled the top 5 apps from BlackBerry App World™ that we think are perfect for all the moms out there on #TeamBlackBerry.
1. Kobo™: According to some of the moms here on the social team, they love to curl up with a good book. Having Kobo on your BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet or BlackBerry® smartphone is like curling up with thousands of books, so you can read until your heart's content — and without having to carry around a ton of heavy novels.
2. At The Moment: This is a journaling app that lets you capture moments as they happen, tag people and places, date stamp memories, and save them. If you're the kind of mom that never misses a moment – from your child's first step to their graduation day – definitely check this one out.
3. Groupon™: For mothers who are always looking for a great deal, I've been told the Groupon app for BlackBerry smartphones is definitely one to have. You can find and purchase local deals right from your BlackBerry PlayBook tablet or BlackBerry smartphone, and you can redeem them right from your device as well, which saves both time and paper.
4. WeatherEye: The Weather Network: When I polled moms around the office (informally, of course), an overwhelming number of them said WeatherEye: The Weather Network is an essential app for them — especially since it features an hour-by-hour glance at the day ahead, so you know what the kids should be wearing to get them through the school day.
5. TETRIS®: Who said moms can't be gamers too? There's tons to love about the evergreen TETRIS® game series — and if you do need that extra peace and quiet, just hand it off to the kids and it'll be sure to keep them busy.
There you have it: our top 5 apps for moms, just in time for Mother's Day this weekend. All you moms out there — is there an app you use all the time? Let us know in the comments.
Переслать - NFC + foursquare = BlackBerry World/BlackBerry 10 Jam
If you were at BlackBerry World™ or BlackBerry® 10 Jam last week, you might have seen the foursquare "Check-in Stations" we set up. Did you know they were NFC-enabled?
Four days prior to the two conferences, foursquare released an updated version of their BlackBerry® smartphone app. The biggest addition? Near Field Communications! You can now check in at a venue with nothing more than a wave of your NFC-capable BlackBerry smartphone. (Of course, the venue has to have NFC tags for you to tap your BlackBerry smartphone against. It's not actually magic – it just seems that way.)
Peter Nofelt, Software Engineering Manager – BlackBerry at foursquare (you might recognize his name from BlackBerry DevCon 2010) shot a quick demonstration video of the onsite NFC experience with fellow BlackBerry platform developer at foursquare, Kyle Fowler.
We learned a lot about #TeamBlackBerry from your foursquare check-ins. At BlackBerry World, the Solutions Showcase had the most check-ins and was the most popular event, while the most popular session was a Hands-On Lab, "BlackBerry® Mobile Fusion Studio and BlackBerry Device Service," whereattendees learned how to install BlackBerry Mobile Fusion Studio and BlackBerry Mobile Fusion for BlackBerry devices.
At BlackBerry 10 Jam, attendees checked in at the Jam Space most often. No surprise there – the Jam Space was where developers could "Ask The Experts", port their apps to the BlackBerry platform (in minutes!) at the App Express station, or simply hang out with us at the Social Media Desk. The most popular conference session on foursquare was "Get Ready for Cascades™ Development," where attendees got a preview of Cascades and the powerful tools behind it.
Of course, it wouldn't be a BlackBerry conference if we didn't have the swag to back it up. At the end of each conference, the five attendees with the most check-ins won exclusive foursquare "Mayor Badge" t-shirts. Check out one of the mayors of BlackBerry 10 Jam, Chad Tetreault — he's the guy that brought you LensBoost, among many other apps.
Below are more of the photos you shared with us when you checked in on foursquare, including another picture of those awesome t-shirts! (I know, I want one too. That's the problem with "exclusive.")
