Monitor Network Activity on Your PlayBook With Network Monitor

Posted: 17 Aug 2012 02:01 PM PDT

Network Monitor

I didn't even know this was possible but Dmytro Mishchenko let us know about his new PlayBook app that monitors network activity. The app is called Network Monitor and shows you real time network activity on your PlayBook showing you what systems and countries applications are communicating with. I am not sure what you would use this for but still it is pretty cool to see what is going on behind the scenes.

Features include

  • Shows established, recently closed connections, and open sockets.
  • Resolves servers IP addresses to names.
  • Provides Country information.
  • Build a graph on network activity displaying sent and received packets.

You can pick up Network Monitor for $0.99 in App World

RIM Offers Dev Alpha Owners Free Passes to BlackBerry Jam Americas 2012

Posted: 17 Aug 2012 11:02 AM PDT

Complimentary Dev Alpha BlackBerry Americas

Now this seems like a smart move on RIM's part to capitalize on their investment of seeded BlackBerry 10 Dev Alphas. Along with quite a few other devs I have received an email from RIM offering a complimentary pass to BlackBerry Jam Americas 2012. I am not quite sure what the qualification criteria is but if you have not received the email and own a BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha you may want to check your inbox or spam folder.

Smart move on RIM's part to keep BlackBerry 10 developers engaged up until the launch! Let us know if you will be there.

What Do You Think Of RIM Putting Removable Batteries in BlackBerry 10 Devices?

Posted: 17 Aug 2012 10:17 AM PDT

BlackBerry Battery

In the latest media spree coming from interviews with Thorsten Heins and other RIM executives we have learned some important things about BlackBerry 10 such as the upcoming 6 device lineup. One of the items that did slip out as a side note was something that I think is pretty significant. Thorsten Heins confirmed that BlackBerry 10 devices will have user replaceable batteries. This is after the BlackBerry PlayBook and BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha shipped with non user replaceable batteries.

I was really hoping that RIM would move back this way since the non user replaceable battery on iPhone and some Android devices is a real pain. This will hopefully also mean that users who live off extended batteries should also be good to go for BlackBerry 10 or can pack multiple batteries.

What do you think of this revelation?

RIM Smartly Changes BlackBerry 10 Browser User Agent to Improve Browser Detection

Posted: 17 Aug 2012 05:51 AM PDT

 Dev Alpha

RIM had to make the annoying but smart decision to change up the browser agent for BlackBerry 10 devices. This is the user agent that the browser reports to servers. Many websites including BerryReview use this user agent to decide what version of their mobile or desktop site to serve to the device. As some of you may have noticed this has lead to some websites serving extremely low fidelity versions of their website to BlackBerry PlayBooks or BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha devices. This is because they just check to see if the word BlackBerry is in the user agent.

To fix this RIM has changed the user agent for BlackBerry 10 to say BB10 instead of BlackBerry. The new user agent will look like:

Mozilla/5.0 (BB10; <Device Model>) AppleWebKit/<WebKit Version> (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/<BB Version #> Mobile Safari/<WebKit Version>

Check out RIM's explanation of the change along with their suggested identification pattern for BlackBerry 10 devices on the dev blog.
