WES Exhibitor Spotlight: InterCall
0 Comments
As predicted, AT&T has added the BlackBerry Pearl 8110 to their catalog of smartphones. The GPS-equipped 8110 is available in red and titanium, and comes with a $149.99 price tag after a $50 mail-in rebate. Also as rumored, the 8100 seems to have disappeared from their online store, except for refurbished versions.
The biggest BlackBerry event of the year is a mere 19 days away, so why haven’t you registered yet? Online registration, with its discounted price of $1,899, ends on May 9th, and after that you’ll have to pay the full price of $1,999 to get in the door. Either way, registering will get you access to a welcome reception on the first day of the conference; the WES party, an exclusive cocktail party with live music by John Mayer; all the keynote sessions; presentations onsite and after the conference ends, via DVD or their website; and complimentary breakfast and lunch on the last three days. A pretty sweet deal all in all, but if you can’t make it, don’t worry. Our coverage is going to be the next best thing.
If you find yourself using the alarm often on your BlackBerry, the fine folks from BBSmart have cooked up Alarms Pro. It’s a solid step up from the default app, by virtue of a bunch of features like letting you use full MP3 files as alarms, programming multiple alarms for quick re-use, custom snooze lengths, and plenty of other stuff. We had the developer, Neil, on our podcast awhile back, and asked if they’d be spreading out from the ever-popular Email Viewer; it’s cool to see that he has, and we’re definitely looking forward to his next concoction. We’re sure this app is quality, so check out Alarms Pro here. Oh yeah, Neil also has a bitchin’ blog for any devs out there.
That announcement yesterday was clearly not received well. India’s Department of Telecom has sent a letter to carrier Tata Teleservices to withhold BlackBerry services until the proper monitoring measures were in place, which must frustrating after seeing the likes of Bharti Airtel and Reliance continue to rake in the dough all this time. It sounds like there is, in fact, a system that’s been established in collaboration with RIM, now it’s just a matter of implementing it across all Indian carriers.
Not to be out-done by Yahoo’s oneSearch, Microsoft announced Tellme for your BlackBerry. Not only does it recognize voice commands like “weather”, “movies”, “traffic” and “map”, as well as search for any company name, but the app also takes into account your GPS coordinates to further narrow down search results. It’s odd that the BlackBerry version came out before Windows Mobile, but you’ll hardly hear us complaining. You can check it out at www.tellme.com.
