The app lets you easily swipe away your incoming messages as read or deleted and then view them if necessary. Check out the update in App World or the full change log below:

The popular UberSocial app was updated to v1.352 last week but due to some small issues we held back on mentioning it. Now with v1.353 UberSocial has fixed the two bugs with OS 6.0 and 7.0. The previous update also claims to fix the bug that caused serious battery drain in some instances. Check out the change log below for details: Changes from 1.352 to 1.353 include:

| BlackBerry 10 BBM App Wireframes Shown Off at BlackBerry 10 Jam (Cascades) Posted: 09 May 2012 09:40 AM PDT Before we headed down to BlackBerry 10 Jam and BlackBerry World 2012 we told you RIM had a few very cool sounding sessions going on. One of those was RIM detailing how they are building BBM for BlackBerry 10 using Cascades. Sadly I did not get to be at that presentation due to other commitments but we did want to share with you some info from it. Shiladitya Sircar, Director of R&D BBM at RIM, was on stage explaining how they are building BBM on BlackBerry 10. A large majority of the talk was focused on the technical details and implementation decisions which would bore anyone unless they are a developer. Since many of you have since asked me about the session I wanted to show you what was presented. Sircar shared a few wireframes (Think rough outlines) of how BBM is designed to work on BlackBerry 10. Sircar made a focus on mentioning that RIM is bringing all of the BBM feature parity we love in the current BBM to BlackBerry 10. That includes groups and other features. He also said that they are getting regular user interface and user experience design changes so this is in no way final. Check out a basic view of how it will look below: As you can see above you have the chats, contacts, and groups of the current BBM. The main change is a new filtering dropdown to show only certain contacts or chats along with a new grid system you see below. The presenter also showed how Friend Updates view allows you to quickly see what your contacts are up to now: RIM also shared the key design principles behind their design including: There is also the slide out extra actions menu powered by Cascades: The rest is a bunch more technical decisions and implementation choices by RIM on how they used Cascades and their migration from Java to C++.

| Will Bridge 2.1 Bring AppWorld Accessibility? Posted: 09 May 2012 08:54 AM PDT  "BlackBerry Bridge" Photo by Jeff Grenier (@jeffyos) Taken with a BlackBerry PlayBook Sitting here at work with no wifi and an Angry Birds Space update taunting me from my PlayBook’s notification bar got me to thinking. With Bridge 2.1 bringing the ability to bridge via wifi, will AppWorld then be accessible via Bridge? I sure hope so. That would mean that, no matter where you go, as long as you have data coverage, you can download and update apps on your PlayBook without having to connect to a local wifi connection. Without paying for an extra data plan. Without paying for a tethering plan (though we’ll see how carriers react to this when it comes out). Without paying for a hotspot plan. Pretty freakin’ cool.

| BlackBerry 7 Smartphones Approved by Department of Defense Posted: 09 May 2012 08:29 AM PDT
This was more or less a given with RIM's BlackBerry OS pedigree but its nice to see it come through. At the DISA Mission Partner Conference RIM announced that they have received US Department of Defense (DoD) wide approval for the use of BlackBerry 7 smartphones. That means they are now approved to be used on DoD networks. The approved products include
Check out the details below in the announcement: RIM Announces Approval of BlackBerry 7 Smartphones for U.S. Department of Defense Networks TAMPA, FLORIDA–(Marketwire – May 9, 2012) – DISA Mission Partner Conference — Research In Motion (RIM) (NASDAQ:RIMM)(TSX:RIM) today announced DoD-wide approval for the use of BlackBerry(R) 7 smartphones. Working with U.S. Army and Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) sponsors and partners, BlackBerry 7 smartphones have undergone successful testing through Army labs leading to a subsequent listing on DISA’s Unified Communications Approved Product List (UCAPL). -- BlackBerry(R) Bold(TM) 9900 and 9930 (touch screen with keyboard) -- BlackBerry(R) Torch(TM) 9810 (touch screen with slide out keyboard) -- BlackBerry(R) Torch(TM) 9850 and 9860 (full screen touch screen) -- BlackBerry(R) Curve(TM) 9360 (keyboard) "The Army introduced a wide range of new apps and capabilities for their BlackBerry users last year, and these new BlackBerry 7 smartphones will now enable Army users, and all DoD users, to experience an even greater level of performance on new smartphones that include features such as voice activated universal search, Near Field Communications, Augmented Reality, and Social Feeds 2.0 just to name a few," said Scott Totzke, SVP, BlackBerry Security Group at RIM. "RIM’s unwavering focus on security and RIM’s achievement of key security certifications including FIPS 140-2 validation and Common Criteria EAL4+ accreditation continue to be very important to many of our DoD and enterprise customers, but leveraging the full power of BlackBerry smartphones is also important as it helps them realize the full potential of their investment in the BlackBerry platform."

| Bowers & Wilkins Announce P3 Headphones Posted: 09 May 2012 08:00 AM PDT We have previously covered the Bowers & Wilkins line of headphones, loving the in-ear C5 for its big sound and loving the high end P5 for its luxurious feel and range of sound. Bowers & Wilkins just announced a new model of headphone to take fill out the family–the over the ear P3 headphones will be available in June for $199.99. From the information available it appears as if the P3s will provide a similar quality of sounds to the P5s but without the high end materials. The press images are below. We hope to review them closer to the launch date. While Ronen loves his Shures you definitely should give these a chance if you are looking for quality sound.

| RIM Awarded Patent for Angular Trapezoidal Keyboard Posted: 09 May 2012 06:55 AM PDT
RIM seems to never tire from trying out different takes on physical keyboards for smartphones. Their latest patent spotted by Engadget was filed in 2009 for an "Angular keyboard for a handheld mobile communication device." Once you get a look at the picture you understand how it would work. Supposedly this design would help people with bigger fingers to type faster compared to the teardrop happy face design RIM currently uses and keeps on tweaking. Check out the abstract below:
Check out the patent at the USPTO for yourself to see what RIM may be working on. Below is another pic: No related posts. Posted by the BerryReview Team for ©BerryReview, May 9, 2012, 9:55 am. | RIM Awarded Patent for Angular Trapezoidal Keyboard | 5 comments |

| BlackBerry 10 Jam & BlackBerry World 2012 Sessions Now On Demand Posted: 09 May 2012 06:05 AM PDT
For those of you who were there with me at BlackBerry 10 Jam or BlackBerry World 2012 you can now catch up on all the sessions you missed. RIM has posted up the on demand sessions for both conferences which is a boon for many who missed some of the great sessions that were running concurrently or were booked out. I am not sure if RIM will open up these sessions to all like they have done with previous developer conferences but hopefully they will. Let us know if you have any luck with that.

| SMS, Wi-Fi, & More Coming Soon With Bridge Update? Posted: 09 May 2012 05:35 AM PDT
Bla1ze over at CrackBerry shared some of what he has been hearing about upcoming BlackBerry Bridge updates. The first was that BlackBerry Bridge v2.1 will be adding Text Message (SMS) capabilities over Bridge. I can confirm that this is definitely coming which is exciting for many who use alternatives. Also RIM is working on Bridge over Wi-Fi expanding beyond just Bluetooth. This should hopefully open up more bandwidth and lower latency for RIM to speed up the bridge experience. There are quite a few other updates coming for bridge since RIM is not forgetting about it anytime soon. There is a big value proposition for BlackBerry owners with Bridge on the PlayBook and RIM is going to continue improving it. If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:
