| BlackBerry Wins a Shorty Industry Award! Posted: 06 Apr 2012 01:00 AM PDT On the 26 March 2012, Research In Motion was awarded a Shorty Industry Award for Best Use of Social Media for Customer Service. What makes the Shorty Industry Award special is that they are exclusive to the professional industry community. Unlike the normal Shorty Awards, which are given out based on public voting, the Shorty Industry Awards are reviewed by a prestigious panel of expert and celebrity judges. This is the second year in a row that RIM has won a Shorty Award for Customer Service, but what makes this year so special is that they expanded the Shorty Awards to honor all of the best short-form content published across social media, beyond just what is being published on Twitter. This award calls for a celebration and this highlights the global expansion of the social support programs at RIM, and specifically calls attention to the successes of @BlackBerryHelp, @AyudaBlackBerry, @BlackBerryBantu and the global BlackBerry Support Community. Congratulations to Team BlackBerry and all the employees working hard to help us out everyday! Via: Inside BlackBerry If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

RIM has also announced that Spencer West will be speaking at BlackBerry World as the special speaker. He will be talking on Wednesday May 2nd about finding opportunity in every challenge and redefining possible. Spencer was a part of the Go Global speaking tour for Free The Children. Last but not least RIM has confirmed that the BlackBerry World Party will be at UNIVERSAL STUDIOS Florida once again this year!!! RIM had it in the same location last year and it was awesome! There will be an "evening of rides, movie sets, attractions and a wicked DJ line up throughout the night."

| BlackBerry Still Holds Vast Majority of US Government Smartphone Share Posted: 05 Apr 2012 11:08 AM PDT
In case this was not obvious its worth reiterating now that even the Washington Post has seen the light and noticed the US government does not care if you can play Angry Birds on your work smartphone. They confirmed once again that the lion share of smartphones issued by the US government are BlackBerrys with over half a million of them. That number also has not dipped in the past few years. Casey Coleman, CIO of the General Services Administration, also notes that they "appreciate RIM's focus on security." He said that of the 12,000 devices issued by the GSA the "vast majority" are BlackBerrys. RIM has always had a strangle hold on the secure smartphone market for ages due to their laser focus on security and no nonsense work device options. Other platforms are finally getting to the point where they can try to compete and they will obviously make some headway but RIM is still the top dog in Washington. The thing is that the most common complaint government users have about BlackBerry, subpar web browsing, has been fixed in the latest BlackBerry 7 devices. Hopefully they will get upgrades soon. The big question is how BlackBerry 10 will change the game… Thanks Bill for sending this in! If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

| Free BlackBerry 7 Premium Apps Offer Extended to Canada With Additions Posted: 05 Apr 2012 07:15 AM PDT
We told you last month that RIM was promoting BlackBerry 7 with 17 free games and apps. That pilot offer was originally only for the US though we told you RIM was considering extending it beyond. Well they have followed through and we are getting reports that the offer has now been extended to Canadian users (confirmed by CrackBerry and others). If you have a BlackBerry 7+ device then launch App World on your device to find the free apps in the carousel. RIM seems to also have added a few apps including The Sims 3 and Need for Speed The Run. The free apps include:
Hurry up since the promotion ends on May 31st 2012. Hopefully RIM keeps on expanding the offer to more countries! If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

| Free SideSwipe App is a Lightweight News Reader for Your Smartphone Posted: 05 Apr 2012 06:46 AM PDT
A few readers sent us tips about SideSwipe during its beta and now it has officially launched. The new app is a news aggregator that tries to tame the firehose of news and funnel it onto your phone. You subscribe to certain channels and it will automatically curate the news for you. The app does not have the ability to add your own RSS feeds which is a shame but it makes up for it in speed. It reminds me quite a bit of the Social Feeds app built in OS 6.0+ devices but it is much much faster and a tiny install at only ~100K. If you have been looking for a lightweight news reader and you don't care about things like Google Reader integration or RSS subscriptions then check out SideSwipe free in App World. I really have to commend the developers on making SideSwipe so efficient… If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:
