- BlackBerry Link 1.2 Leaks Out For Windows Users
We saw a bit of BlackBerry Link 1.2 a bit back but now it looks like we will be seeing it sooner rather than later. The folks at CrackBerry scored a link to the BlackBerry Link v1.2 installer and it seems to work nicely. It has a nice overhauled look along with better backups and synching. Keep in mind this download is not official so proceed at your own risk. Hopefully the Mac version will leak soon or BlackBerry will simply release the update.

Переслать - BlackBerry Sending Out Invites to International Launch Events
BlackBerry has been building up some mystery by sending out event invites around the world. First they were mentioned for Malaysia on September 18th and now France and then India too. The first poster said they heard hints that it was all about the BlackBerry Z30 but it could just as easily be about the BlackBerry Messenger Cross Platform launch. It would be odd for them to do that one internationally first but who knows what BlackBerry has planned.
What do you think the events are for?

Переслать - AT&T Apologizes for Tasteless 9/11 Commemoration Tweet With Z10
I am not sure if BlackBerry was even involved in this but AT&T posted a tweet on 9/11 that had the twitter-verse critics out in full force. They sent out a picture of the twin towers with two beams of light been shown through what looks like a BlackBerry Z10 screen. (either that or a dead ringer for one) It did not show a logo or any ad message but people though AT&T was trying to take advantage of the day for commercial gain. Thankfully they quickly apologized and took down the tweet that they said was in bad taste. Check out the details on the Financial Post.

Переслать - Samsung Continues to Promote Cross Platform BBM Internationally
Its very odd to see Samsung making such a big deal of BBM coming to Android. On the other hand we have BlackBerry staying radio silent on it and essentially just showing it to users at the TIFF festival. Readers who went to the TIFF festival told us they were impressed with what BlackBerry has made and it really will push WhatsApp into a corner. BlackBerry even managed to squeeze many elements of the Cascades FLOW into the Android app though not the iPhone app.
Either way this latest add just goes to show even Samsung is excited about cross platform BBM out in South Africa. They made their whole Twitter account focused on it. They just keep on promoting it…

Переслать - Android Runtime Without Permanent Back Bar Now Available for Sideloading (10.2)
Attention all Android sideloaders. Ofutur let us know that BerryLeaks has put out the version of the Android VM that allows you to hide the action bar in Android apps. The permanent bar is now gone which is a godsend on the smaller Q10 screen. It really makes you wonder what BlackBerry was thinking… You can still set the bar PER APPLICATION which is really nice. The only downside is that this sideloaded runtime is locked so you will have to install and sideload apps with the debug token method.
Check out the details here on the CrackBerry forums thread and download below:
Download links:
- Mega: http://goo.gl/IuBeVv
- Bitcasa: http://goo.gl/ZYcE0Z
EDIT: only tested on 10.2.0.1443 and higher, including 10.2.1.200. And it won’t work on 10.1, don’t try to install.

Переслать - BlackBerry 10 Beta Zone App Updated in BlackBerry World
Talk about a confusing title for an article. BlackBerry has updated their new BlackBerry Beta Zone app to v10.0.0.0.18. This new update brings minor bug fixes according to them but we can only guess what that means. Until then we can download the app and hope it fixes the fact that BlackBerry Beta Zone apps are not just available to all in BlackBerry World… Check out BlackBerry Beta Zone in BlackBerry World.

QNX CAR Platform Powers Infotainment System in New Mercedes-Benz Concept Car
Mercedes-Benz Concept S-Class Coupé features all-digital instrument cluster and head unit
FRANKFURT, IAA Cars International Motor Show, September 12, 2013 — QNX Software Systems Limited, a global leader in software platforms for in-car electronics, today announced that Mercedes-Benz has selected the QNX CAR™ platform to power the infotainment system in the Mercedes-Benz Concept S-Class Coupé, an exciting new concept vehicle created to showcase Mercedes-Benz' latest advancements in user experiences for the car.
The concept car's infotainment system brings the Mercedes-Benz design philosophy to life with a fresh and refined approach to the all-digital instrument cluster and head unit. The digital dials are functional yet sensual in the use of 3D and light, complementing the new interior. The use of particle effects conveys a sense of emotion to the head unit’s main menu and mood-based selection of music, while the new Garmin map strikes a balance between form and function so that you arrive in style.
Visitors to the IAA Cars event, popularly known as the Frankfurt Motor Show, can see the concept car first hand at the Mercedes-Benz booth in the "Festhalle".
QNX Software Systems has been working with Mercedes-Benz Research & Development North America, Inc. (MBRDNA) for more than a decade, providing the group with advanced technologies for the specification, demonstration, and prototyping of next-generation vehicle electronics concepts. In fact, Mercedes-Benz was the first automaker to take advantage of the QNX OEM Innovation Labs (OIL) Program, which QNX Software Systems created to assist automakers with research planning and development. The infotainment system in the new Mercedes-Benz concept car is the latest result of this long and fruitful collaboration.
"It is a thrill to see how an industry leader like Mercedes-Benz, with its phenomenal sense of automotive design, can leverage the flexibility of the QNX CAR platform to create a unique and compelling driving experience," said Andrew Poliak, global director, automotive business development, QNX Software Systems. "When you look at this car, you are looking at the near future of automotive connectivity and infotainment. It's been a privilege to support our colleagues at Mercedes-Benz Research & Development North America on this project."
The QNX CAR platform for infotainment systems is based on QNX® technology proven in tens of millions of vehicles. Designed for flexibility, the platform provides automotive companies with a rich suite of pre-integrated technologies for building connected infotainment systems that can keep pace with innovations in mobile apps and devices while maintaining automotive-grade reliability.
"We designed the infotainment system for the Mercedes-Benz Concept S-Class Coupé to be a seamless extension of the digital lifestyle, enabling consumers to leverage existing mobile and cloud-based services to choose destinations easily and simply, in a way that is appropriate for the automotive context," said Johann Jungwirth, president and CEO of Mercedes-Benz Research & Development North America, Inc.

Переслать - BlackBerry Board Rumored To Have Hired Perella Weinberg To Advise on Sale Options
It seems like the BlackBerry Board is doing some serious due diligence about a possible sale of the company. THe latest is from the WSJ that claims that BlackBerry's Board has hired Perella Weinberg Partners to advise on a sale. They already announced awhile back that they hired JP Morgan to advise but this could just be some double checking. It could be also due to potential conflicts by shareholders making a bid for the company.
Also of interest is that BlackBerry is supposedly lobbying the government to waive their foreign takeover rules which lets the government review any buyout over $344 million. On top of that we have rumors that Fairfax Financial and another source are having only initial talks with Canadian investment funds on a privatization of the company.
