New Exciting Features For The Blackberry
RIM (you know that tiny company in Canada) announced some highly anticipated features today for their flagship product, the Blackberry. Many of these new features make it easier to work and collaborate with your coworkers.
I’m a heavy blackberry user so I’m excited to see all of these new features. Now if RIM would only make the screen bigger, give me a touch screen, synch with iTunes, and make the unit skinnier i’d be happy. Either that or Apple should just get a Microsoft Exchange connector for the iPhone.
Here’s a quick wrap up of what to expect.
- Download and edit Microsoft Office documents: BlackBerry users have been able to download and view Office documents, thanks to the Documents to Go suite, but soon BlackBerry users will be able to edit these attachments as well.
- Free-busy calendar lookup: This will give you the heads up before you schedule a meeting to see who’s free.
- HTML and Rich Text Email rendering: Rich text emails will now maintain their formatting on the smartphone, including bold, italic, tables, bullets, or whatever formatting your co-workers throw at you.
- Integration with corporate IM and Presence applications: By utilizing Lotus Sametime and Microsoft Live Communications Server, you can use the “click to call” feature to engage with co-workers and IM Session “convert to call” automatically takes an IM conversation and makes it a voice one.
