RIM Pulls Screenshot of Native PlayBook BBM App World Page… Posted: 07 Sep 2011 02:32 AM PDT The plot thickens. It looks like we have some fans at RIM who decided to pull down the screenshot we mentioned yesterday on the App World page showing Native BBM for the PlayBook in App World. I found it odd that the screenshot had BBM with a 3/5 star rating if it was a mock up so I am guessing it was real. Now it just shows a screenshot of multitasking on the PlayBook. Thanks to everyone who pointed the takedown out! If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

China Mobile Gets the BlackBerry Bold 9788 with BlackBerry OS 6 Posted: 06 Sep 2011 10:03 AM PDT I guess this is RIM giving the BlackBerry Bold line a blast to the past. They have announced the new BlackBerry Bold 9788 together with China Mobile today. Its the first BlackBerry to support the Chinese TD-SCDMA network though I cannot quite make out what device it is. It looks like it is a rebuild of the 9700 for China Mobile since it has 256MB of RAM instead of the 9780's 512MB. Its also shipping with BlackBerry OS 6. Check out the press release below or the BlackBerry Bold 9788 page on RIM's China website if you can read it! Either way it is coming this month. Research In Motion : RIM and China Mobile Introduce BlackBerry Bold 9788September 6, 2011 – First BlackBerry smartphone to support TD-SCDMA technology Waterloo, ON and Beijing, China – Research In Motion (RIM) (NASDAQ: RIMM; TSX: RIM) and China Mobile today introduced the BlackBerry® Bold™ 9788 smartphone, the newest addition to China Mobile's BlackBerry® smartphone offering and the first to support the nation's TD-SCDMA wireless network.

The BlackBerry Bold 9788 is a compact and stylish smartphone that offers a compelling blend of features, performance and design.

The smartphone also includes an expandable memory card slot. As a customized smartphone for China Mobile, the BlackBerry Bold 9788 is preloaded with a range of tailor-made applications and services from the operator. Featuring the BlackBerry® 6 operating system, the BlackBerry Bold 9788 smartphone integrates a new, rich WebKit-based browser that renders HTML web pages quickly and beautifully for a great browsing experience. Additional features of BlackBerry 6 include expanded messaging capabilities with intuitive features to simplify the management of social networking and RSS feeds (Social Feeds), and integrated access to various instant messaging applications. The BBM™ (BlackBerry® Messenger) software preloaded on the BlackBerry Bold 9788 provides an easy and reliable way for people to instantly and reliably communicate. The BlackBerry Bold 9788 also supports BlackBerry App World™, enabling users to explore BlackBerry applications tailored for China Mobile customers. With more than 500 IT policies available, the BlackBerry Bold 9788 and BlackBerry® Enterprise Server together provide a secure, manageable mobile solution for enterprise customers.

Sprint Website Shows BlackBerry Bold 9930 Out of Stock! Posted: 06 Sep 2011 09:32 AM PDT If you needed any indication of the pent up demand for new BlackBerrys this should tip you off. First T-Mobile reported on their website that their BlackBerry Bold 9900 was out of stock (now back in stock). Now Sprint is reporting on their website that they are out of stock of the new BlackBerry Bold 9930. I wonder how supply is at Verizon? You also have to love the overall rating of 4.6/5 from 16 reviewers on Sprint's website. Thanks JD and Tashanna for sending this one in via BBEmpire If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

Rumor: Neil Sainsbury to Possibly Replace Mike Kirkup as Director of Dev Relations @RIM Posted: 06 Sep 2011 09:17 AM PDT It was sad news when we heard that Mike Kirkup would be leaving RIM and leaving his post of Sr. Director of Developer Relations at RIM. Now Kevin @CrackBerry is hearing that Neil Sainsbury (@eZainny) might be stepping in to take Mikes place as a possible candidate for the Director of Developer Relations at RIM. This is a very interesting move since Neil was a very popular BlackBerry developer out of Australia before he was snapped up by RIM a few years back. He developed the BBSmart applications like the uber popular BBSmart Email Viewer, BBSmart Shortcuts, & BBSmart Alarms and others. He was very vocal about BlackBerry development and talked from a developers perspective on his DevBerry.com blog about how RIM could improve developer relations. He then moved on to work for RIM and eventually moved to Canada. It would be very telling move if RIM placed him in the developer relations role since he clearly knows many of the pain points RIM can fix for developers to improve their experience. Hopefully whomever RIM chooses can make some serious waves and Neil definitely fits the bill. If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

Screenshot of Native BlackBerry PlayBook BBM App World Page? Posted: 06 Sep 2011 07:54 AM PDT Could it be that RIM is leaking a screenshot of the native version of BlackBerry Messenger for the PlayBook on their App World landing page? BBEmpire noticed this screenshot on the bottom of the RIM App World page and it sure looks like the BlackBerry PlayBook App World showing a BBM app for installation. The screenshots might be from the Bridge BBM app but the uninstall button hints that it is actually the BBM native app. Oddly the version of the app is 1.0.7 which will probably change drastically when native apps come and what is with that license key? Let us know if you can make out anything interesting in the description. The squinting is hurting my eyes… If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:
