I apologize to everyone for the slow coverage of the BlackBerry Developers Conference this week. One cool thing that was announced at BB DevCon 2009 was Open GL ES coming to BlackBerry smartphones. This will allow developers to develop 3D games and graphics for BlackBerry, plus develop new interfaces for themes with the new BlackBerry Theme Studio. Open GL ES will be supported on several devices running OS 5.0, including the new Storm2, and Curve 8530. Skip on over to the full press release for complete details…

P&T/Wireless & Networks Comm China 2009

By Susan C on Sep 27, 2009 in BlackBerry, Events.

The event took place in Beijing Sept 18th and 19th. It is the only telecom event officially sponsored by the Ministry of Industry and Information, and PR China. It is the most prominent way to meet regulators, operators, vendors, and important customers and investors who come from across the globe.

Thanks to Owen from MMMOOO, we have some information and pictures to share with you of the event. This is BlackBerry’s 10th year, and they setting up their BlackBerry Office in China.  They are also hopefully going to cooperate with China Telecom and China Mobile to release the 8900 and Storm late this year (and we in N. America are anxious for the Storm too, and newer Curve, we take for granted what we have here). The vendors bring their products to show the Chinese visitors, and I posted a few pics for you in case you would like to see where it was held, what the booth looked like, and get an idea of how large scale it is.

It was a date hosted by RIM for T-Mobile’s release of the BlackBerry 8520. The Boy Genius Report has a picture that a reader who won sent in. The event had some goodies, a giveaway which is delivered by mail, and the new movie Transformers 2. You have to love RIM, they know how to treat a date!

And some people wonder why we BlackBerry addicts appear to love our phones and pay more attention to them than our significant others, wonder why?

Like magic RIM’s new BlackBerry App World is now live! Meaning your BlackBerry smartphone now has access to tons of free and paid applications. Prices range anywhere from $0 to $9.99 for most applications. App World works very similar to Apple’s App Store meaning you simply click the application you want and install. It’s simple and works perfect.All payments are only accepted via Paypal. Anyways if you haven’t already downloaded BlackBerry App World simply point your BlackBerry browser to http://blackberry.com/appworld/download and install it right from there.

Full Episode TV Service coming to BlackBerry?

By James on Mar 27, 2009 in BlackBerry, CTIA 2009, RIM, Rumors.

A new rumor is floating around that RIM is getting set to release a full episode TV service for BlackBerry, meaning you can watch your favorite TV shows on the go. Apparently the service will only run via Wi-Fi to downloads the video which leaves CDMA users in the dark. Apparently RIM could be announcing the new TV service as early as April 1st during CTIA 2009. The service is expected to be a monthly fee and will provide access to unlimited downloads. What do you think? Are you up for BlackBerry TV?

P.S. The image above is just a image of the Bold playing video. Not the TV Service.
