Comments

Viigo is going to eventually become the only app that many people have on their BlackBerry. The feature rich RSS reader can bring in an wide variety of aspects of your mobile life to one central location. On Tuesday, May 5th, Viigo will be adding multiple new enterprise-oriented features, as well as Facebook and Twitter functionality and streaming audio.

Viigo’s CEO Mark Ruddock and CTO Jay Steele will be on hand at RIM’s Wireless Enterprise Symposium (WES) in early May, where they will announce and demonstrate the new Viigo functionality and hold an attendee question-and-answer session.

The latest enterprise upgrade will include enhanced corporate contacts functionality and new budgeting and finance utilities, along with company calendar, training and performance reporting tools. There will also be a free version too. The free version will include new Twitter and Facebook features, as well as the ability to stream audio, though it’s unclear where such audio will come from at this point.

We’ll bring you more updates during WES but suffice it to say Viigo rules.
