Refreshed and back in tip-top shape, BBCool Simon and I return with one of our best podcasts yet, although you can probably attribute that to our guests: Rob Woodbridge of Rove, Will Hickie of WICKSoft and Dave Peak of LiquidTalk.
Listen in as we talk about the panel that these three gentlemen are participating in (”Every Laptop Should Be Left Behind”) and what it means for the future of mobility. Also, we talk about American political folk music, and why $150 million dollars isn’t that big of a deal.
Listen to the podcast via MP3, RSS/XML, or iTunes. To learn more about the Every Laptop Left Behind movement, head here.
Or, stream the podcast after the jump.

This is fresh off the press folks: a friend at Rove just told me that they’ve given away their first of three $1000 Amazon.com gift certificates to one Jeff Kucaj, who was lucky enough to have the key that fit the magic box. There are still two keys left, so make sure to stop by their booth (#248).
Of course, if your key doesn’t fit, you still have another way to make a quick grand by participating in Chalk’s ‘How much do you love your BlackBerry?’ contest. Head to booth 114 for more info on how you can win.
Not at WES? Don’t worry! You can still win a sweet BlackBerry Cool prize pack. READ THIS POST to find out how easy it is to win.

Rove’s Mobile Admin has been bumped up to version 4.0, featuring a per user licensing system, which allows individual workers to access any number of servers from their BlackBerry. Aside from that, there’s also a new web interface that gives IT personnel access from remote computers, as well as Vista support. BES admins and anyone handling any kind of server would do well to check it out.

Rob Woodbridge from Rove graces the BBCool airwaves once more, talking about their two latest releases and their Breakout Session at WES, and we’ve also got Clyde Wagner from SweetCeasar to talk about their new financial converter, Joe Naylor from WebMessenger to give us the lowdown on enterprise IM. Of course we’ve got the week’s news, including the latest on the BlackBerry 9000, the imminent release of the CDMA Curve, and advancements of EDGE speeds. Episode 23 is available in a trifecta of MP3, iTunes and XML feed awesomeness.

Immediately after the release of BEIKS’ free FTP app, BlackBerry users are getting another, and more besides: Mobile File Manager and Mobile Viewer are now available from Rove Mobile free of charge. Mobile File Manager offers a great deal more than just FTP support, allowing users to connect to SFTP, WebDAV, and Windows file shares as well. Mobile Viewer, formerly known as BlackBerry Viewer, displays a BlackBerry’s screen on a computer monitor, making presentations of any BlackBerry app a simple process and allowing for easy screen captures. Both are available free from Rove, so have at it!

A great find from BlackBerry Sync: BEIKS is now offering a completely free FTP client for BlackBerry. The software, called BeFTP, was designed to connect to the BEIKS FTP server to download content for other BEIKS apps, because the BlackBerry browser doesn’t allowing downloading of all kinds of files. It’s fairly limited, because it connects to the BEIKS server automatically and doesn’t allow you to save new connections, but you can’t beat free. Their pro version is a bit more full-featured and costs $10, and of course there’s always Mobile File Manager from Rove if you need even more.

Rove, known in a previous life as Idokorro, will be coming to WES this year, likely showing off their newly-released PCMobilizr. Traditionally geared towards enterprise remote access software for BlackBerry, with apps such as the Mobile Citrix Client, Mobile Admin, and Mobile SSH, PCMobilizr represents a new direction for Rove. Rather than appealing solely to the IT crowd, PCMobilizr gives easy remote desktop access to your average Joe. We talked with them shortly after the launch, if you’re interested in hearing more about it.

The BBCool podcast has two guest speakers this week. Rob Woodbridge from Rove Mobile runs us through their freshly-launched PCMobilizr, then Ahmed Datoo gives us Zenprise’s perspective of the recent outage on AT&T. Aside from that, we’ve got a few 8110 launches, a few BlackBerry Professional Software launches, a new toy for streaming your tunes, and a bunch of other stuff. Check it out!
XML remains a cruel mistress. Anyone who can crack our podcast feed and figure out why iTunes isn’t updating it will get a kickass prize and a big fat kiss from yours truly.

Rove’s presentation at DEMO

Rove has launched PCMobilizr from the DEMO conference in California today, which looks to be a more consumer-centric version of their Mobile Desktop Client geared for enterprise. PCMobilizr aims to offer access to your desktop computer, home or office, from your BlackBerry using the same view you’re used to. All you have to do is install a handheld and a desktop client, and you’re good to go. If you want to give it a shot, they’re offering a free month-long trial, after which you’re looking at $9.50/month. I’m a little curious to see how it differs from what they’ve already done…

So long as we’re talking about Ottawa companies, Rove has announced an update to their Mobile Citrix Client, featuring a brand-spanking-new interface and Secure Gateway compatibility. As ever, the Mobile Citrix Client lets you access programs on your Citrix server on your BlackBerry, only this update uses a web interface to cut down on bandwidth usage.
