BlackBerry Cool Roundup for the Week of March 8th

March 15th, 2010 BBerryNews

In terms of news I’d say it was a slow week for the BlackBerry Nation. On the bright side, there were some great apps that launched in both App World and the BlackBerryCool store. SmrtGuard-Free launched in App World, as well as Rove’s Mobile SSH for BlackBerry. Foursquare was also updated to version 1.7.0 with visual enhancements and tips features, and you can find them on App World now too.

Also worth mentioning is that BlackBerryCool currently has SIX contests on the go where winners haven’t yet been chosen. I’m going to choose winners for some of the older contests before Monday morning so make sure you’re entered in all six.

RIM Announce Official Twitter and LinkedIn Apps Almost Here

March 12th, 2010 BBerryNews

In the latest BlackBerry Connection Newsletter, RIM mentioned that the official Twitter app and LinkedIn app are “almost here”. The newsletter doesn’t mention any specific release dates, but if they’re talking about it now, I’m hoping within a month is a reasonable definition of “soon”. Also of significance, is the fact that RIM is calling their official Twitter app a “business app”.

At first this struck me as odd but after thinking about the features built into the official Twitter app, it seems very much geared towards PR agencies. For example, the search function allows you to search for brands and filter the search based on “attitudes”. This feature would be particularly useful for a company looking to monitor a brand and the consumer perception of this brand while on the go. Monitoring popular topics and trends is another feature of particular interest to PR agencies, as it’s important to see if a campaign is currently trending. Hopefully these apps arrive soon.

Tether Celebrating Anniversary With Smartphone and App Giveaway

March 9th, 2010 BBerryNews

Tether are celebrating their 1 year anniversary providing BlackBerry users with a simple means of tethering their BlackBerry to their laptop. Incredibly, the company are announcing they have been installed on 110,000 BlackBerrys. While tethering can be done with a few good Google searches, many users love the ease and convenience that Tether provides.

To celebrate their big day, Tether are offering BlackBerryCool readers 25 copies of Tether. To win, just leave a comment with your email, Twitter or Facebook so we can get in touch with you.

In addition, Tether are offering 6 smartphones (3 BlackBerry and 3 Android) at their site.

Tether also took the opportunity to promote the BlackBerry platform’s openness, and specifically called out Apple on being a closed environment:

Together, we need to encourage more development on open environments like BlackBerrys’. Right now the big hype is around iPhone, but there is so much noise. Closed systems like the App Store, aren’t good for the mobile industry. Could you imagine if Microsoft had an approval process for all Windows programs? The BlackBerry platform is a little harder to develop on, but the potential is here and we need to encourage development.

Hear, hear! RIM understand the value in keeping an open market where companies such as Google are free to offer valuable and affordable services to users.
