  • RIM to launch updates of popular BlackBerry apps

    Deals @ Amazon:


    Wed Apr 11, 2012 11:59pm IST

    REUTERS – Research In Motion said it will shortly release a slew of updates for its BlackBerry apps, making it easier for users to stay connected with their messenger community.

    Apps such as Facebook, Twitter, BBM Music and BlackBerry App World will now include BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) connectivity, the Canadian company said in a statement on Wednesday.

    Users will now be able to automatically share their Facebook status or Twitter update with their BBM friends from the apps, it added.

    Alec Saunders, vice president of developer relations at RIM, said about one in every five apps being downloaded on BlackBerry App World is BBM-connected.

    Waterloo, Ontario-based RIM has more than 70,000 apps in its App World store for either BlackBerry phones or the PlayBook tablet, compared with 200,000 iPad apps, and half a million for the iPhone.

  • Angry Birds Space now available For the BlackBerry

    Deals @ Amazon:

    At long last BlackBerry is getting one of the hottest new games on the market. RIM announced today that the app is now live in the BlackBerry App World. The app costs $3, and unlike the iOS and Android versions there is no free ad-supported app for the BlackBerry.

    The lack of a free aversion probably won’t hamper this app’s success. Chances are any BB owner is already well aware of how much fun this game is to play. I’d bet they will already have older Angry Birds apps to keep it company, too.

  • RIM Adding Developers as YouMail Stops BlackBerry Work

    Deals @ Amazon:

    Research In Motion Ltd. (RIM), the
    troubled maker of the BlackBerry smartphone, said it’s gaining
    developers, even as some mobile application makers, including
    YouMail Inc., are stopping work on RIM products.

    YouMail, which provides caller identity and voice-mail
    services for smartphones, said it was stopping development on
    the BlackBerry version of its visual voice-mail app., citing a
    “steady exodus” of users moving to Apple Inc. (AAPL)’s iPhone and to
    Android smartphones.

    Alec Saunders, vice president, developer relations for RIM,
    responded in blog yesterday, saying YouMail’s statement was a
    “little bizarre” and its basic premise was wrong. While
    BlackBerry “has some challenging times ahead,” visual voice
    mail “isn’t a business anymore,” as it is a feature that comes
    with most phones, Saunders said.

    RIM said last month it’s weighing strategic changes after
    market-share losses to Apple and handsets that use Android
    software led to five straight quarters of sales shortfalls. The
    company pledged on March 29 to redouble efforts to attract
    business customers while reviewing options, such as licensing,
    partnerships, joint ventures and other ways to “leverage”
    assets.

    “Developers are not abandoning BlackBerry,” Saunders said
    in an interview today. “The evidence doesn’t bear that out.”

    The number of developers registered with BlackBerry App
    World’s store increased to 34,000 in February, from 9,600 a year
    earlier, Saunders said in the interview.

    YouMail said it won’t continue working on the BlackBerry
    version of its app because it’s “seen our BlackBerry audience
    steadily shrink, with a steady exodus of those users moving to
    the iPhone and to Android.”

    ‘Musical Chairs’

    Most of YouMail’s users are based in the U.S., where RIM’s
    share dropped to 13.4 percent of smartphones used in a three-
    month period ended in February, down from 16.6 percent in a
    three-month period ended in November, according to researcher
    ComScore. (SCOR) Together, Apple and Android controlled 80.3 percent of
    the market.

    “It’s a little bit like musical chairs,” YouMail Chief
    Executive Alex Quilici said in an interview today. “You have
    limited resources, and right now, there’s no seat for RIM for
    us.”

    Developer interest in BlackBerry declined to 15.5 percent
    in the first quarter, down from 20.7 percent in the fourth
    quarter of 2011, a survey of 2,173 developers conducted in
    January by Appcelerator and IDC found. Fewer people were “very
    interested” in developing for the BlackBerry operating system
    than in building apps for Google’s Android, Apple’s iOS and
    Microsoft Corp. (MSFT)’s Windows Phone operating systems.

    Last year, Seesmic Inc., a maker of an app that lets users
    post to social networks Twitter Inc., Facebook Inc. and LinkedIn
    Corp. (LNKD)
    , announced it will discontinue its support of the
    BlackBerry to focus on Android, iOS and Windows Phone.

    has revolutionised the viewing experience of some of America’s most
    popular television shows and events such as American Idol, the GRAMMY(R)
    Awards and the Super Bowl, where more than half of the advertisers in
    this year’s big game chose to Shazam-enable their ads.

    Simon Daglish, Group Commercial Sales Director at ITV said: “Shazam’s
    audio-recognition technology is at the forefront of the second screen
    movement which is transforming the way consumers interact with content
    including advertising. This exciting and exclusive partnership means
    that ITV is able to offer customers a real first for UK media and allow
    brands to innovate their spot campaigns and connect directly with
    audiences on a large scale.”

    Andrew Fisher, CEO at Shazam, said: “ITV is not only the largest
    commercial broadcaster in the UK, but has also established one of the
    leading sales organisations in the world. We are delighted that ITV will
    be bringing Shazam-enabled ads to the UK market. This will empower
    leading brands to connect with our millions of fans who will now be able
    to experience an extended engagement in one of the most convenient and
    innovative ways possible.”
