Concur has announced that they’ve launched a new app to extend their Concur Travel & Expense services. In uncertain economic times, it’s even more important to control employee spend, and with Concur Mobile, companies can improve cost control by making the services that integrate travel booking and expense reporting easier to access, encouraging employees to stay in policy, which leads to more accurate expense reporting.
To get Concur for BlackBerry, you should already be a member using their services.
Rhomobile has launched a platform that many developers may find useful: an open source porting solution. The open source product is called Rhodes and it allows developers to write once and have their native app run on iPhone, BlackBerry, Android, Windows Mobile and Symbian.
The open source smartphone framework allows developers to write once using HTML to simultaneously create native applications for all smartphones including iPhone, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, Symbian and Android. Rhodes creates full featured native apps (not web apps) with advanced capabilities and access to functions including GPS, camera and PIM.
The Rhodes framework is now available at RhoMobile.com/download
Hi my name is W4LNUT. I’m going to be running a weekly contest here on BlackBerry Cool that is all about BlackBerry gaming. I play a ton of games on a daily basis and you’d be hard pressed to beat a lot of my high scores.
Texas Hold’em King 3 is by far the best poker game out for BlackBerry. It’s got full in-game chat, vibration for when it’s your turn, and you can even trick out your Avatar through your online profile at Magmic Social
To Win, be one of the first ten people to find W4LNUT on a THK3 table and tell him “I’m social” using the in-game chat.
If you don’t have THK3 yet, download the trial here.
If you’ve already have a copy to call your own, give your winning copy to a friend or a coworker whose productivity you’d like to drastically reduce.
Finding W4LNUT is way easier than finding Waldo ever was. You can join a friend’s table within THK3, or check out which table I’m playing on at my Magmic Social profile.
Winners, as well a new contest will all be announced next week.
Good Luck! Comment if you want help from W4LNUT.
Whenever he starts BlackBerry Pearl’s data connection and places the phone next to the flashlight, the flashlight blinks. The radio waves seem to be interfering with the power connection in the flashlight, but can someone tell me in more detail what is happening?
{Thanks for sending this in Peter)
