Devs: RIM TinyHippo Staff & Adobe Talk About PhoneGap Cordova

Posted: 18 May 2012 02:17 AM PDT

PhoneGap, Adobe RIM 

If you have been working on creating cross platform HTML5 technology apps you have probably run into PhoneGap or Cordova. They were recently acquired by Adobe and donated PhoneGap to the Apache foundation which has renamed the framework to Cordova. Jason pointed out a nice video overview from BlackBerry 10 Jam where Dan Silivestru and Gord Tanner of tinyHippos have a chat with Michael Brooks of Adobe/PhoneGap about Cordova-JS Project. Its not very in depth but a nice overview. (BTW love the hair!)

Splashtop Releases Splashtop Pro – Enterprise App for the BlackBerry PlayBook

With Splashtop Pro, IT can mobilize a workforce with BlackBerry PlayBook tablets in thirty minutes

May 10, 2012 – San Jose, CA – Splashtop Inc., the worldwide leader in cross-device computing, today announced the release of Splashtop Pro with support for BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablets.  Splashtop Pro is designed for corporate IT, service providers and system integrators to enable a mobile workforce with tablets. Splashtop Pro is a much-anticipated app for the enterprise IT community deploying BlackBerry PlayBook tablets, and follows on the success of Splashtop Remote Desktop HD, a top-selling app for the PlayBook.

With Splashtop Pro, IT can securely manage and monitor devices through an easy-to-use cloud-based web console.  Now IT can deploy and set policies that enable a mobile workforce to leverage personal, private, and public clouds, whether they are running on a physical or virtual machine.

"RIM is focused on winning the enterprise, and Splashtop Pro is the perfect app to support the PlayBook’s success there," said Mark Lee, Splashtop CEO and co-founder. "Employees can go anywhere with their PlayBooks and have secure remote access to all their applications and files on their computers."

"Splashtop has developed some of the leading applications for the BlackBerry PlayBook, including one of the more popular business applications in App World today. We are excited that Splashtop is bringing Splashtop Pro to the PlayBook," said Martyn Mallick, VP of Global Alliances and Business Development.  "Splashtop Pro and Blackberry PlayBook are a winning combination to bring remote desktop control to the enterprise."

Using Splashtop Pro, an IT administrator can:

* Easily deploy tablets in an organization without infrastructure changes
* Enable secure access to applications, files and content on corporate computers from a mobile device
* Centrally manage the connectivity of mobile devices and computers via a simple web-based Admin Console
* Manage user permissions
* Group computers for shared access
* Manage connections based on policies such as connection type and time
* Monitor connection history
* Manage updates

With Splashtop Pro, employees can be mobile and more productive by using a tablet to share a company’s hardware and software resources. Splashtop Pro eliminates the need to transfer, convert or sync files and multimedia among devices. Important work files and office applications, such as Outlook, PowerPoint, Excel and Word, are easily accessed, as well as videos, music, and photos for presentations.

Splashtop Pro is suitable for use in a variety of business scenarios; for example:

* Field sales reps needing access to their company's internal CRM system or other pricing and inventory information
* Real estate agents wanting to adjust their schedules without going back to the office
* Telecommuters working from home who want to remote in to the office computer over VPN
* Designers looking to impress their clients when presenting

Pass The Time With Juminja From XIMAD

Posted: 17 May 2012 10:40 AM PDT

Juminja Juminja2

My latest way to pass the time on my BlackBerry smartphone has been to play Juminja from XIMAD. In true XIMAD fashion they combine Ninjas with Pandas and throw in things like canons. You have to shoot a canon filled with ninjas with three of the same color leading them to explode and clear the screen as they keep filling it up.

Juminja3 Juminja4

Check out Juminja for $1.99 in App World and let me know how you like it!

Top Gear Releases Free Smartphone & PlayBook News App

Posted: 17 May 2012 08:53 AM PDT

Top Gear Top Gear2 

I am not sure how many of you are watching Top Gear but BBC Worldwide has released a news app for the show. The app is available for the PlayBook and BlackBerry smartphones and seems to have been released for Android shortly after BlackBerry. The app gives you access to the latest news, video, and other randomness from the show. I thought it was worth mentioning the app because I think it is HTML5 which is what allows it to easily be cross platform.

Check out the app at the links below:

Verizon Prepares Us for The Death of Grandfathered Unlimited Data Plans

Posted: 17 May 2012 07:45 AM PDT

Verizon Progress

We knew it could not last forever but we were really curious how much Verizon was going to screw their customers when they ended the fun. Verizon's CFO, Fran Shammo, announced at the 40th annual JP Morgan Technology, Media, and Telecom conference that they pan on "migrating" all of their users from unlimited plans to their upcoming "Data share plans." These plans are only coming this summer so we cannot tell how raw of a deal this will be but with carriers being stingy with 2-3GB data capped plans I cannot imagine they will be generous.

The new Data Share plans should actually be a good move allowing you to share data plans between devices. On the other hand I am just waiting for the other shoe to drop on this one with carriers finding some way to screw up the concept with things like per device connection fees or other annoyances.

Right now the death of these 3G and for some 4G unlimited plans is not a huge deal for BlackBerry users but it will be soon with the launch of 4G LTE BlackBerry 10 devices and users migrating… Check out the details at FierceWireless.
