"Reliability" is a word, think of the concept of my BlackBerry. Research in motion, may not have talent around smart phone, but they have won well-deserved positive features and user-friendly e-mail machine's reputation. In this process, the company has obtained a loyal follower.
Over time, but I get a little concerned about RIM's future. Although the company will continue to introduce new mobile phone, BlackBerry operating system is quiet, especially the introduction of iOS4 Apple and Google launched the Android 2.2. And even if Microsoft did not disclose how much because the company in February launched Windows 7 phone, it is obviously very needed update is Windows Mobile thorough reform. To keep up, RIM needs to do a major company to its interface a new look.
The good news is, we know that the company will be in the third quarter, the BlackBerry operating system 6. More thin than APIs, but whether it provides a new operating system can not come fast enough. So when we wait, here is what I want to see from the OS 6.
Browser
E-mail BlackBerry device may be good, but their Web browser and not so hot, and the iPhone or Android device the best comparison. Of course, the browser can complete the task, and RIM has taken measures to make it faster, but we still smooth navigation and selection look like tabbed browsing and Flash support for all mobile phones. Fortunately, RIM's move last year's acquisition of the torch gives us hope that, based on the WebKit browser method is.
Multimedia
BlackBerry has not completely ignored, the recent multi-media equipment, but its development has been slow. I am pleased to see the film spend a lot of time presenting a new music player.This course looks good, but I do not know how to set up their Android and iPhone counterparts stand out. In addition to being sleek and functional, I hope it offers unique features, its competitors lack. Video is also a problem, we love the Ho family, even if the video player interface is fairly common and vibrant display.
Touch Screen
I am from the video can be deduced from what Blackberry critic Bonnie Cha told me the operating system 6 will be concentrated in the touch interface. As RIM's touch-screen checkered past - Storm 2, fine, but the original storm was a disappointment - it seems like a risky move.Hope that RIM will further improve the OS 6 touch interface to make it more accurate and smooth. While I think this is impossible, I would encourage RIM cell phone companies do not only use the touch screen lineup. Too (including me like a physical keyboard) many people.
Availability
This is a quick suggestion, but it is absolutely necessary to customers. Please, RIM the company, so the OS compatible with many devices as possible when it is. We will not be happy, if we want to upgrade to a new phone just to be enhanced.
Make more fun
As I said in my recent discussions Bonnie Cha and the internal oversight office, said the fighting between the robot, I never ask a smart phone operating system copied to another. RIM has been a business-centric device, I think it can continue to develop, focus on the future. It should continue to focus on the application of e-mail delivery and productivity advantages, but not too hard for the "cold can be a little more fun." I have already mentioned will play an important part of the improvements, but I also want to see an animated update menu interface, plug-ins and pop-up menu, and so on. This is not what the IT department and road warriors love wrong, but RIM could stand to expand beyond the workaholic creative and attractive.
How do you think that RIM's BlackBerry operating system should be improved?

HP says IT pros need own social network
Although the current flood of social networking tools, HP will soon be launching their own social networks, particularly aimed at professionals in IT though.
This is called 48Upper, it-yourself "Declaration", which said that on the IT professionals: "We are within the long, lonely life pessimistic stereotypes."
Another video, showing IT staff to laugh, smile, and with work cubicles animal specimens.
This ignores anti-Dilbert version, 48Upper (which from a Hewlett-Packard in California to establish its name), using the familiar social networking tools, collaboration, friends, based on knowledge sharing, but it is clearly against the system, HP user management tool.
The product is currently being tested the test is ready, and HP officials to discuss the software in its meeting here, some aspects of it.
An integral part of, 48Upper different from the mainstream social networks figure.
Since the e-mail, IT professionals need to network with external companies and organizations for help. Designers 48Upper still want the user to seek help from outside IT folk, but this tool will have several steps to help them filter out information that may reveal what the company, or it may be to keep quiet.
As a software as a service (SaaS) delivery, 48Upper will use the inquiry to establish technical library. The user will be able to control how the technical information sharing. If the information is "open", will be available to other service users, or to keep for internal use.
"And we do not state secrets, IT, said:" Matthew Schvimmer, technical services, senior director of HP's business products.
48Upper technical information in the database will not be limited to HP's products, Schvimmer said he expects 48Upper library has been used by an IT shop of any technical information. Social networks will be able to take full advantage of HP's business management system and use the advantage, for example, transmission alarm.
HP users a management system, Henry Yam, corporate vice president of management Berman asset management companies in the limited liability company, is unfamiliar with the concept of service, but that potential, he said, "This will greatly help . "
"Now it is a hodgepodge, where in the world," Mr Yam said, adding that the workers could run the Forum from the supplier to seek answers to another.
Schvimmer said that collaboration tools, in particular, is necessary, because today the responsibility of IT professionals may need to pay some of the expertise across multiple disciplines, so that critical needs of the network.

FTC will investigate Apple
Federal Trade Commission into whether Apple will open an illegal use of the mobile software market and damage rivals investigation, according to some published reports.
Last Friday afternoon, Bloomberg News and the Wall Street Journal both reported that the U.S. Federal Trade Commission has opened a formal investigation.
Bone of contention is the Apple store in its recent application to adjust the rules. In May this year, Apple made changes to prohibit companies to create ipad iPhone and applications, and some development tools on the iPhone on Monday, effectively prevent the application to access Google, AdMob and other non-independent mobile advertising network.
Apple did not immediately respond for comment.
The investigation will be whether Apple will use its highly successful App Store, in order to harm competitors. When Apple changed what tools can be used to write the application stores the application it raises eyebrows, as the change seems to specifically Adobe, Apple recently with their dust in the market rules.
The new rules allow them to stop developers using the application for a variety of devices running - such as other platforms, not just Apple's iPhone, but the competitor's equipment and. Adobe's Flash platform and Novell's MonoTouch tools fall into this category.
Then, earlier this week, Apple's iPhone may use their own application software development, advertising in order to "stock analysis data, advertising service providers own or with developers or mobile device, mobile operating system or development environment than Apple's other sub-contact sales. "
The most prominent mobile advertising service provider owned by or with developers or mobile devices and mobile operating system distributor is AdMob. AdMob now owned by Google, another former ally, Apple has publicly feuded with the company, but this is because Google has entered its Android platform for cell phone software market.
Wall Street Journal said the Federal Trade Commission and Justice Department have been discussing "who in the weeks to rein in the investigation" report. Federal Trade Commission might get the job, because it only took a few months time to study Google's purchase and is very familiar with the AdMob mobile advertising market conditions.
Federal Trade Commission investigation into Apple's only business conduct survey series to date. Earlier yesterday, the U.S. International Trade Commission said it will be HTC's counterclaim of view, Apple's patent on its smart phones 5 infringement.

Drunk Driving Victims' Storie
Wednesday night, people who lost their loved ones drinking and driving crashes, talk to Chemung County residents charged with diffusion, they are trying to change this state of statistics.
"My daughter's name is Megan Madalyn Thomas. She was just the fun of our life - fun, running, skipping everywhere. She likes The Wizard of Oz," said Sam, his daughter Megan Thomas.
Megan is only four and a half of a half years old, a drunk driver killed her collapse in 2006.
"I experienced so many emotions - up and down. From the bottom of the general grief, I even do not want to wake up in the morning," Thomas said.
Thomas is now talking with the people accused diffusion panel. Wednesday night with a number of 100 people accused of crimes, packaging Elmira City Hall - authorization to listen to some of the victims of their sentence story.

An Android on Steroids
The world's fastest Android phone, HTC from Sprint EVO, may have been cast a shadow over Monday's iPhone 4 news, but this high-speed 4G technology powerhouse, is noteworthy.
Sprint's HTC EVO works on the 4G network running at about 3 and a half times faster 3G network.
Screen, applications, and small tools to instantly identify any man who has been with the incredible trick of HTC. Speed will be strange, but. The phone's 4G network, which in my testing, running about three and a half times the operation of 3G network faster. This the EVO, its 3G and 4G network engineering, 200 two-year contract after rebate, available online and from Sprint, Best Buy, RadioShack Corporation and Wal-Mart.
First, we know our definition. In this case, 4G technology as the representative of the fourth-generation network (launched in 33 cities across the country), rather than the fourth-generation mobile phones. This brought the speed of the network. But the phone itself to work in the 4G network, using the hardware construction of the speed. While Apple's iPhone 4 is the fourth generation of mobile phones, it does not work in the 4G network. Therefore, make sure you have a salesman carefully define terms when your phone shopping.
In the EVO's with a respectable feature set. It has a 4.3-inch touch screen pinching zoom, acts as a mobile hotspot, you can connect up to eight Wi - Fi equipment for 30 Canadian dollars per month.
It also comes with a front-facing 1.3 million pixel camera video chat. On the back of the camera 8 megapixels dual LED flash. It also shooting 720p high-definition video, and can be back on television via a HDMI cable. It also has an FM radio, but you can only use the wired headset to listen to it; cable doubles as an antenna.
The phone is also equipped with a built-in 8 GB of memory and a microSD card, but can support up to 32 Gigabit gigabytes.
The Evo also has what we came to believe that, as a standard feature, such as a 3.5 mm headphone jack, stereo Bluetooth and GPS.
Test on my phone, I use the speed check site Ookla measurement speed, it is possible, because the current version of the Android phones to play some of the Adobe Flash. I downloaded 3.61 至 3.86 Mbps 4G comparison with 3G 0.77 至 1.28 Mbps with the same mobile phone to download. To be objective, in iTunes on a 30-minute video, a speed of 300 megabytes. In 3G networks, it will take me 4-5 minutes to download. On the 4G technology will take about 1 to 1.3 minutes.
I would like to point out that when the phone's Wi - Fi, it even faster, with an average of 7.2 Mbps. The use of Wi - Fi, data does not count against the plan.
Stephanie Wenger - after Walsh, Sprint spokesman said, Ookla and other such sites is basically inaccurate. She said the company used "scientific" measures, is generally believed that one or two faster than Ookla concerts, despite not always the case. But she agreed with my velocity measurements in the expected range.
The phone to the test once again flow from the "mobile ABC original" EVO features found in the decline in TV video clips. This indicates that the slow loading, occasionally freeze in the middle, and returns an error message that I have no network connection, and "Sorry, this channel is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later or contact customer service." The company said it is likely to be an application problem.
These glitches, the phone is smooth, fun to use and more than 4G, and fast. Not good enough even to buy the 3G market.
4G network is a provision in these cities: Atlanta; Milledgeville, Georgia, Hawaii, Maui, Hawaii, Boise, Idaho, Chicago, Baltimore, Kansas City, Missouri, Las Vegas, Charlotte, Greensboro, High Point, Winston-Salem, Raleigh, Cary, Durham and Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Portland and Salem, Oregon, Philadelphia , Harrisburg, Lancaster, Reading, York, Pennsylvania, Dallas / ft. Value; Houston, San Antonio, Abilene, Amarillo, Austin, Corpus Christi, Killeen / Temple, Lubbock, Midland / Odessa, Waco and Wichita Falls, Dirk SAS state, Seattle and Bellingham, Washington
Sprint said it plans to add more cities to 4G this year, including Boston, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Denver, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami, Minneapolis, New York, Pittsburgh, Salt Lake City, St. Louis and Washington.
