This is too cool. Some folks right here in Ottawa have networked their Christmas lights together so that not only do they work together to make patterns, but they’ve made it web-accessible so that folks online can change the lighting scheme. The best part? They’ve designed it to work with the BlackBerry browser so you can change the lightning mode right from your handheld. On top of that, the software uses XML tags which allow anyone else in the world to sync up with the project. Effing amazing. We’re gonna swing by soon and get you guys some more footage of Calico Crescent in action.
Me Inc.’s postcard-sending service, Shout Postcard, launched its beta last month on the Curve, and is now available for Pearl. With Christmas right around the corner, this is great timing, since it allows you to send quick, personal, spur-of-the-moment postcards using sound recording and pictures taken with your BlackBerry. This way you could send thank you cards to distant relatives who might have shipped a present in, or last minute best wishes to folks you had forgotten in the all the holiday hubbub.
Christmastime is rapidly approaching, and maybe that special BlackBerry-user in your life hasn’t been bought for just yet. Well, there’s still time and BBCool’s here to help you find something you know they’ll use and love. We’ve compiled a little wish-list of stuff we would personally like to see under the tree – presents we’re so sure of that we’re knocking 10% off all in-store items marked with asterix – just enter the coupon code BBHOLIDAY for your discount. I know, we’re giving y’all presents early again, but we just can’t help it.
Now that the BlackBerry 8130 is out across Verizon, Telus and Bell, it looks like we’re all set for Christmas (unless RIM is feeling extra-cheeky, and sneaks out one more release before the snowflakes start falling). The earlier release should give carriers enough time to pimp out the new wares, but as ever at this time of year RIM is going to be seeing some competition. For this Weekly Contest we ask you fine readers: based on the toys that are out or on the way, what is RIM’s big competition going to be this holiday season? Is the iPhone going to pick up steam, or is the 8130 still slick enough to be a cool present? Are there any other gadgets you’re eying that you’d rather get than a new BlackBerry? Yeah, it might be a little early to be talking about presents and trees, but the one to comment with the best wish list will walk away with the Seasonal theme and two others from bPlay.
