Переслать - Let's Get a Check of the Weather with BlackBerry apps!
Predicting the weather has proven to be difficult for most of us—including meteorologists. We've all been stuck in the rain without an umbrella or wished we had worn a heavier jacket after the sun went down. With our BlackBerry smartphones and BlackBerry PlayBook tablets, we have a world of information at our fingertips, but it's still pretty easy to get caught in a storm without the right alerts.
Let's make sure that we keep ourselves—and our BlackBerry devices—warm and dry during the coming winter months by keeping an eye on the forecast with BlackBerry weather apps:
WeatherEye HD by The Weather Network: Local weather and alerts are sent straight to your BlackBerry PlayBook tablet through the WeatherEye HD app. You can receive active weather coverage and detailed forecasts for thousands of locations in cities through the U.S., Canada and other locations throughout the world.
e-Mobile Weather by e-Mobile Software, Inc.: This weather app offers live, detailed weather on your BlackBerry smartphone. You can view real-time weather reports, forecasts, trends and radar images. E-Mobile Weather also supports international cities for your trips abroad.
Weather by Simply Apps: With this app you can get day-to-day weather details and weekly weather outlooks on your BlackBerry smartphone. You can save battery life by choosing to refresh weather details automatically or manually. You can even use the GPS on your BlackBerry device for hyper-accurate weather reporting.
How do you use your BlackBerry smartphone or BlackBerry PlayBook tablet to keep tabs on Mother Nature? Let us know in the comments!
Переслать - BlackBerry 10 HTML5 Browser Demo Showcases Bookmark Tagging [VIDEO]
Since first showing you the browser in BlackBerry 10 at BlackBerry Jam Americas, the team has been working hard to create an amazing browsing experience. Matthew from the browser team and I wanted to show you some of tweaks and features they've made that make it stand out.
If you're like me, you have a ton of bookmarks on your smartphone, and they can be tricky to navigate between. We've made it easy to organize everything now, with tags — a simple feature, yes, but one that is designed to make your life that much easier. Watch Matthew demo the BlackBerry 10 browser:

In the above video, Matthew shows off an HTML5 game running smoothly on the device, the tagging feature for organizing your bookmarks, and some subtle changes we've made so you can see more of the website on your screen. In case you missed it back in September, we showed you how powerful the HTML5 compatibility is with the “get user media demo” that allows for web designers to access items on the device like the camera to create rich multimedia browsing. We also showed off reader mode and share functions, so be sure to check out that blog post.
BlackBerry 10 is shaping up to be the best BlackBerry experience to date. Can't wait to get your hands on it? Sign up here for more details and let us know what you think of the BlackBerry 10 browser in the comments below.
Переслать - Warm Voices and Cold Fronts: Our BlackBerry World
With email, text messaging (SMS), BlackBerry Messenger (BBM), BBM Voice and numerous other ways to communicate, it seems that simple phone calls are becoming less frequent. Think about how often you use your BlackBerry smartphone to make a call. Do you make calls to say 'happy birthday,' or just to say hello and catch up with an old friend? How long do these conversations last? Messaging just makes communicating easier. But is it the best way?
One thing we all have in common is our behavior during a storm. A recent study found that during 'uncomfortable weather' of any kind, call volumes decreased but the length of calls increased. Data also showed that during storms we are calling family and close friends rather than a wider network of contacts. Does this sound like you?
The difference between words in a text and soothing familiar voice is our emotional response to each. During a storm or any time of uncertainty, we want the emotional connection we get by talking to our friends or family. Sorry, emoticons – a voice connection wins this time.
We are attached to our BlackBerry smartphones by far more than just our wireless headsets and stylish leather cases and we should all embrace it. A familiar voice is comforting – whether during a storm or a bright, sunny day. Sometimes we need to take a step back and use that feature on our smartphones.
How do you like to catch up with friends and family? Do you wait for a storm? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
Переслать - A History of Integration
June 17th, 1946 was a Monday. On that day, the very first mobile telephone was made from 80 pounds of equipment installed under the dashboard of a delivery truck in St. Louis, Missouri. Truthfully, it would be another 30 years before you could take the first "mobile phone" anywhere without a truck.
That is, until April 3rd, 1973, when researcher and inventor Martin Cooper made the first mobile telephone call from a handheld prototype weighing 2.5 pounds. You could make a 30-minute phone call with it, but you then had to charge the device for 10 hours.
In the late 1980s, Zack Morris from "Saved by the Bell" may or may not have been carrying a DynaTAC series mobile device, one of the very first cellular telephones offered commercially. That device would have cost Zack's parents nearly $4,000, and Zack would have had to charge it for eight hours at a time. It's no wonder he barely used it.
The days of the telescopic antennas of the 1990s are a thing of the past. "Flip"-style form factor phones are fading from everyday view. Do you remember the early days of the Bluetooth earpiece? The first time you saw someone who appeared to be talking to themself on the street? Now it's so commonplace you sit next to them on the bus or train—possibly "talking to yourself" as well. Now our devices are "smart;" they integrate technologies like Wi-Fi, NFC, 3G, LTE, and HSPA. A world of knowledge now rests literally at your fingertips. It has to make you wonder…what do future smartphones have in store?
Переслать - BlackBerry Fans Get Hands-On BlackBerry 10 Demo [VIDEO]
While Donny was in New York showing off BlackBerry 10, we brought 20 of our biggest BlackBerry fans to our headquarters in Waterloo, Ontario for a sneak peek at BlackBerry 10. They had an opportunity to meet and greet with the BlackBerry Social Media team but also got the chance to hear about BlackBerry 10 firsthand from Product and Marketing Managers working directly on the products. They even had a surprise visit from our CEO, Thorsten Heins.
(Rajesh Kutty – @kuttysark with Thorsten Heins)
After an exciting and high energy day for everyone involved (both the fans and our team) here's a look at what some of them had to say about BlackBerry 10:

Переслать - BlackBerry 10 Hands-on Demo Impresses at New York Times DealBook Conference [VIDEO]
Last week we attended the New York Times DealBook: Opportunities for Tomorrow Conference. With BlackBerry as a founding conference sponsor, Frank Boulben, CMO for BlackBerry, and Vivek Bhardwaj provided an exclusive preview of BlackBerry 10 to some of the most insightful financial, business and economic thought leaders. The hands-on demo focused on the BlackBerry Hub, BlackBerry Balance and BlackBerry 10 Keyboard. After the demo, the room was abuzz with folks eager to get their hands on BlackBerry 10. I caught up with a few of the attendees to capture their initial reactions to the demo. Here's what they thought:

I talked with Vivek afterward, and we both agreed that one of our favorite moments was when an attendee thought he was demoing on a QWERTY device, and he had to hold it up and show the audience that it was a full touch model. "It goes to show the effort we've taken to make sure the keyboard on BlackBerry 10 feels like a BlackBerry keyboard," he said.
While the panel discussions inside the conference were largely geared towards the post-election outlook for the economy, the audience definitely left with a strong sense of where BlackBerry is heading in just a few short weeks.
