| RIM CEO Confirms 4G PlayBook Coming “Later This Year” On Road to BlackBerry 10 Posted: 04 May 2012 02:11 AM PDT
During the press session and other confirmations at BlackBerry World we have heard that we will soon be seeing a BlackBerry PlayBook with 4G. I ran into two people at the show who got some time to spend with the devices and they were impressed and it seemed to work smoothly. Thorsten Heins was asked during the press session on what we will be seeing between now and the BlackBerry 10 device launch. They also asked if there would be another PlayBook device launch with the launch of BlackBerry 10. It was interesting to see that Thorsten Responded that the BlackBerry PlayBook is more of a target into the mobile computing space than the tablet space. (Remember those embedded police cars?) He also confirmed that a 4G BlackBerry PlayBook will be coming to market later this year. Also of interest was a question Thorsten was asked about the conference being focused on BlackBerry 10 but what about all the talk on enterprise policies and security? Thorsten responded that they were "100% correct there is more to RIM than just the handset business. We are focused on Business and enterprise because that is one of the places where RIM really fits best." to further this goal they have pulled together all the enterprise business divisions under Robin since it was very fragmented and combined them all to ensure focus. Now that he has the focus in place RIM is pushing the throttle further. (he even simulated stepping on the gas) He also confirmed what many of us already know which is the fact that RIM needs BlackBerry 10 to be launched to improve the enterprise platform.

| RIM Licensing Part of BlackBerry 10 Camera Features from Scalado Posted: 03 May 2012 02:05 PM PDT I didn't put two and two together until Techcrunch confirmed that RIM's demo showing a "hint of the BlackBerry 10 Camera features" looked familiar. A company called Scalado has been doing it for awhile and demoing it on HTC Android devices with their Remove and Rewind technology. Techcrunch confirmed with RIM that they are licensing the technology from Scalado as part of the camera features in BlackBerry 10 with this statement:
Kudos to RIM for spotting some great functionality. I hope they have many more tricks like this up their sleeve. Desktop Video Link | Mobile Video LinkIf you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

| BlackBerry World 2012: Thorsten’s Revenge, And How A RIM Staffer Saved My Night Posted: 03 May 2012 01:37 PM PDT
BlackBerry World has been an amazing experience for me. It's my first time, and what a treat it's been to be around so many people who favor BlackBerry. The conference is winding down, people are clearing out, and things are much more relaxed, so I'm going to share 2 little things that made it just a little bit more cool.
THING 1: I was watching the Blues Brothers street review early on in the evening. I tried to upload a pic, and it looked like it was going to time out. I minimized the app and holstered Agent 99. A few minutes later, we joined the line for Revenge of the Mummy. I pulled out my 9900 and discovered that my battery, which had been around 50-60% a few minutes prior, was down to 1%! Average drain rate per hour was listed at –297.5%. I noticed a pair of RIM staffers in line behind us, and I asked if there were any battery-swap stations at the event. He told me he didn't think so. I cursed, thanked him, and turned around. A few seconds later he taps on my shoulder. I turned back around, and he said, "Here. Swap with me. I have a spare", offering up a JM-1. "Seriously?" I asked. "You sure?" "Absolutely. Take it." So he took my dead battery and gave me one charged up to 75%. Out of his own pocket. I don't know if my press lanyard had anything to do with his decision or not, but I'd like to think that it didn't. I'd prefer to take it as a small but meaningful example of how RIM is paying more attention to the little guy, the individual consumer. I like it, and I felt it was worth sharing. Thank you, anonymous RIM employee. You made and my night and saved my 'berry. THING 2: A few minutes later, we got to the front of the line. As we lined up to board the ride, I glanced at a group of people across the tracks in the VIP lane. There was Thorsten, all smiles, with a group of, I assume, appropriately important people. Some cheers went up from those of us who could see him, and he grinned and waved back. Given the pressure and scrutiny he's under, it was good to see him in good spirits and enjoying himself. I hope that means that things with BB10 are going well. Again, small, but important. If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

| Check Out The BlackBerry 10 Keyboard Demo From BlackBerry World Posted: 03 May 2012 11:36 AM PDT
I have been getting tons of questions from current BlackBerry users about BlackBerry 10 and keyboards. Many users cannot wait for a classic BlackBerry with a physical keyboard. On the other hand RIM showed us a very intriguing concept of what they are developing for the first all touch BlackBerry 10 device keyboard. This is note the final build but it includes awesome word prediction in the keyboard, gesture control, and more. Check it out below: Desktop Video Link | Mobile Video LinkPersonally I am more of a physical keyboard guy but I am really digging the design. Now they just need a Torch style BlackBerry 10 model in the portfolio. If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

| Angry Birds for PlayBook v2.1 Adds 12 More Levels Posted: 03 May 2012 10:56 AM PDT We missed the chance to report that Angry Birds Rio was updated with 12 new bonus levels right before BlackBerry World. Now Rovio has updated the original Angry Birds for the PlayBook to add 15 tropical levels. They also add a new beach theme for all of us to bask in. The change log lists:

| Thorsten Heins Confirms That They Are Close to Hiring CMO & COO Posted: 03 May 2012 08:26 AM PDT
One of the things Thorsten Heins mentioned in his session for the media was that he was very close to naming a new CMO (Chief Marketing Officer) and COO (Chief Operating Officer) for RIM. These roles have been vacant and Thorsten highlighted when he first took the reigns that they were looking for a CMO and a COO to replace him. Thorsten said he could not mention who exactly would be taking on these titles but hinted that they are waiting to get signatures on the contracts before announcing them. Personally I think RIM is in dire need of both a strong CMO and COO. They need to involve the CMO from product conception to make sure engineering delivers a product that is laser targeted and marketable to RIM's consumers. They also need a solid global COO to ensure the proper global execution of RIM's plans. Hopefully we will be hearing more on this front soon!
