| 4G PlayBook Support added in Desktop Manager for Mac v2.4.0.16 Release Posted: 23 Jul 2012 06:29 PM PDT
We saw RIM sharing builds of Desktop Software v2.4 for Mac to Dev Alpha developers and now it is official. Right after I wrote up about the PC software being updated I happened to check that the Mac team has also released an update. The new v2.4.0.16 is now the official build of Desktop Manager for Mac.
The release notes for this build include support "for the new BlackBerry PlayBook tablets." It specifically says that BlackBerry Desktop Software "now supports mobile network enabled tablets." That is one more sign that the 4G PlayBooks are coming soon. Also improved is group to category sync for contacts and the ability to restore a backup created in Desktop Manager for Windows. You can download Desktop Manager v2.4.0.16 directly from RIM If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

| RIM Rolls Out Desktop Manager v7.1.0.33 Out of Beta Posted: 23 Jul 2012 06:18 PM PDT RIM has had Desktop Manager v7.1 in the Beta Zone and offered to developers for awhile now. Zooby pointed out to me that AT&T had an updated version of Desktop Manager available on their website. After checking RIM's main download site it seems like RIM has upgraded it across the board. Update: After looking back at the release notes it looks like this version also adds support for “mobile network enabled tablets” just like the Desktop Manager for Mac update. Its looking like the 4G PlayBook is right around the corner. The new v7.1.0.33 of Desktop Manager fixes some of the issues users have run into in the past along with adding better support for the PlayBook and Dev Alpha. You can check out the full change log here. The full version 7.1.0 B33 of Desktop Manager is available on BlackBerry.com. If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

| 4G LTE BlackBerry PlayBook (32GB) Rumored to Launch July 31st for $549.95 Posted: 23 Jul 2012 02:54 PM PDT
RIM has been saying for awhile now that they will be launching the 4G BlackBerry PlayBook. It looks like that time might be shortly upon us according to the latest leak courtesy of MobileSyrup. They have scored a document that shows the 4G BlackBerry PlayBook launching via Bell and other Canadian carriers on Tuesday July 31st, 2012. The Bell document shows the device selling for $549.95 outright without a contract. That sort of jives with some rumors we have been hearing of it selling elsewhere for $350 with a contract. The 4G BlackBerry PlayBook will only be coming in a 32GB flavor and a 1.5Ghz dual core processor. All the rest of the specs are the same. So I have to ask. Will you be picking up a 4G BlackBerry PlayBook? I am also curious to see what features it launches with. If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

| Wireless Data in Europe for as little as $5.95 a Day With Tep Wireless Posted: 23 Jul 2012 02:41 PM PDT If you’ve traveled to Europe and attempted to stay connected, you probably went through a lot of hassle. While unlocking your BlackBerry is not difficult you have to pay some exorbitant data fees even with a local SIM card. Well, somebody’s tried to come up with a solution to your troubles and it sort of creative. Tep Wireless has announced a new portable 3G mobile hotspot with 1GB of data for $5.95 a day in 38 countries in europe. That is pretty impressive allowing you to connect multiple devices at a fraction of what US carriers would charge you for roaming. If this sounds like something that you could use on your trip I highly recommend checking out Tep’s website for details. I know Ronen is looking into it for his trip to Italy next month.

| Free BlackBerry Screen Reader App Adds Curve 9320 & 9220 Support Posted: 23 Jul 2012 09:35 AM PDT
A bit back RIM released a slick new free accessibility app called the BlackBerry Screen Reader. The app does a really nice job of making BlackBerrys more accessible to users with visual impairments. One of my main complaints about the app is that the app was only available for the Curve 9350, 9360, & 9370 at launch. RIM's accessibility team has now expanded that a tiny bit further with support for the Curve 9220 and 9320 in the latest update. I am not sure what the hold up is for adding this to the higher end BlackBerry 7 devices like the 9900 but I hope they are working hard on it. I want some talking caller ID action on my Bold 9900! RIM also threw in a bunch of updates to the Screen Reader app in the latest release:
Check out the demo video of the app below: Desktop Video Link | Mobile Video LinkIf you have one of the supported devices you can pick up the latest version of BlackBerry Screen Reader at: www.blackberry.com/screenreader If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

| WordPress for BlackBerry v1.6.2 Released Along with BB10 Dev Alpha Demo Download Posted: 23 Jul 2012 07:55 AM PDT
It took awhile for Automattic to bring a WordPress client to BlackBerry smartphones but that does not seem to be the case for BlackBerry 10. On the WordPress for BlackBerry Blog lead developer Danilo posted up some screenshots of his port of the Android client to BlackBerry 10 with custom styles for the device which works nicely. You can download it yourself here and sideload it. Danilo said he is also planning on working on a native Cascades version of the WordPress client after trying his hand with WebWorks. Danilo has also updated the WordPress for BlackBerry smartphones app to v1.6.2. The change log simply states that the update brings reliability improvements across the board. Check it out here in App World. If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

| bbUI.js WebWorks Framework Version 0.9.3 Released Posted: 23 Jul 2012 06:52 AM PDT
RIM's web team just released an update to their slick bbUI.js user interface framework. This new update brings loads of improvements for BlackBerry 10 including feedback from the BlackBerry 10 Jam World Tour. The goal of this release according to RIM's Tim Neil is "to further close the gap between what is being offering in the Cascades UI framework and what's available in bbUI.js."
The change log is pretty impressive and quite a few bugs were squashed in the making of v0.9.3. Tim thankfully highlighted the following notable improvements:
Tim also detailed the changes you may need to make it your code to accommodate the update. They also set the milestone for v0.9.4 which "contains additional BlackBerry 10 controls but also includes more JavaScript interfaces for dynamic screen creation and manipulation." Check out the details at the BlackBerry DevBlog.

| Fairfax CEO and RIM board member Prem Watsa Doubles Stake in RIM Posted: 23 Jul 2012 06:40 AM PDT Good morning everyone! News is emerging this morning that RIM Board Member and Fairfax Holdings CEO, Prem Watsa, has doubled Fairfax Holdings stake in RIM to the tune of 9.9%, up from 5.1% in January. There is a nice writeup at the Globe and Mail about his doubled investment. That makes Fairfax Holdings the largest known investor in RIM and is making people wonder what he knows that they might be missing. Prem Watsa is definitely putting his money where his mouth is. This larger stake is almost the same as RIM’s founding CEO’s combined as of February where each owned about 5.1%.

| ITC Invalidates Kodak’s Last Patent ‘218 in Case Against RIM Posted: 23 Jul 2012 05:37 AM PDT
This ongoing patent feud between Kodak and RIM looks like it has finally come to a close. It has been going on for years (Jan 2010) and was struck a serious blow in when it was deemed invalid by one of the judges on the commission earlier this year. Kodak asked for the whole commission to hear to review the decision but instead the ITC made the decision final. That means that Kodak's patent on taking a picture and showing the picture on a screen (Kodak Patent 6,292,218) is invalid. From what I hear this is the reason most patent lawsuits do not go to trial. Companies don't want their patents invalidated since they are more useful to waive around as scare tactics. Either way that is one more lawsuit RIM can put behind them. The full press release from RIM is below:
