La primera fue la de Eduardo Fernández @efernandez, Director General de RIM España, donde nos desgranó algunos de los datos y aspectos de RIM y de toda su plataforma BlackBerry.

La segunda del emprendedor y empresario Martin Varsavsky @martinvars, muy amena y llena de grandes verdades. Por cierto a Martin Varsavsky hace ya algunos años le ayudamos en algunos problemas con su cuenta de BIS wlEmoticon smile Vídeos de BlackBerry Innovation Forum 2011 de Madrid

Y la tercera de Enrique Sarasola @sarasolakike, empresario ahora del mundo hotelero y donde nos comentó como en un sector tan copado como es el hotelero, es capaz de innovar en su cadena de hoteles Room Mate Hotels en aspectos como es el servicio, presentación y diseño, redes sociales, presencia online… Sin duda alguna después de la presentación te daban ganar de ir un par de días a disfrutar de las bondades de sus hoteles.

Database Forms: creando formularios a medida para BlackBerry PlayBook

Nueva aplicación para la tableta BlackBerry PlayBook llamada Database Forms. Con ella podemos crear formularios de una manera fácil y luego dar de alta registros que se guardan de modo segura en una base de datos en el dispositivo BlackBerry PlayBook.

Se puedes crear formularios para gestionar:

En Database Forms tenemos dos interfaces: el de configurador y el de usuario. El primero, el de configuración, es para administrar y diseñar los formularios, una vez diseñados con todos los tipos de campos que queramos que contenga diseñándolo a nuestra medida y según nuestras propias necesidades, se publica el formulario y lo tendremos disponible en el interfaz de usuario. Los tipos de campos que podemos insertar en el formulario son de varios tipos: texto, numérico, Memo, Selectores, Checks, Botones de selección, fecha, hora, etc..

El cambio entre el interfaz de usuario y el de configurador y viceversa se hace como todas las aplicaciones nativas de BlackBerry PlayBook deslizando desde el marco superior el dedo al centro de la pantalla, con eso se nos mostrará el menú de la aplicación:

El detalle del interfaz de configuración:

En el interfaz de configuración, como podéis observar en la pantalla anterior, se pueden añadir nuevos formularios, añadir y administrar los campos de los formularios ya creados (los podéis ver en el menú lateral izquierdo, donde el seleccionado se marca en azul), ordenar los campos, editar las características del formulario y publicar el formulario, así como borrarlo. Al editar un formulario se nos muestra la siguiente pantalla, en la misma definimos en nombre del formulario, podemos ocultar el formulario para que no se vea en el interfaz de usuario, escoger el campo que se nos mostrará en el grid del interfaz de usuario y el campo del formulario por el que se ordenará, así como su orden ascendente o descendente.

Hay un tipo de campo que se puede añadir que se puede vincular a través de él varios formularios:

El link para su descarga desde la App World: Database forms. Hay una versión demo de la aplicación totalmente funcional solo limitada su funcionalidad a la entrada de 10 registros por formulario, una vez instalada la demo también encontramos dos formularios de ejemplo donde se nos muestran los distintos campos que podemos utilizar a la hora de diseñar y utilizar los formularios. Os adjunto las capturas de pantalla de la versión demo y del formulario demo de ejemplo donde se muestran los diferentes campos que podemos utilizar:

Os animo que os descarguéis la demo de la aplicación y empecéis a jugar con las posibilidades de la aplicación que son muchas e infinitas y todas ellas 100% adaptables a las necesidades de cada uno de nosotros ya que los formularios los diseñamos a nuestro antojo y no es una aplicación en modo alguno cerrada, sino abierta para adaptarse a lo que necesitemos.

Analyst Says QNX Phones Only Coming in Q2

BBX-next-exit

You have to love analysts! The latest spotted by AllThingsD is Jeff Kvall of Barclays Capital. He just downgraded RIM’s stock from $40 to $23 because RIM’s products including QNX phones are seeing continued delays. They have him quoted:

“We believe QNX smartphones are delayed beyond management’s last public statements of a 1Q12 release,” says Kvaal. “RIM’s preference to hold the launch until fully ready is the correct decision in our view, though it does imply that management is anticipating delays in the launch. The company has recently shied away from any reaffirmation of the timeline and have had several public forums to do so. … Putting this aside, our math on carrier certification timelines which require at least six months in the US suggests a late 1Q12 launch at best. … However, we believe technical challenges are high as we have seen with the delay of Playbook 2.0, and we therefore consider a mid-year launch more likely and our checks across the distribution channel support this view.”

I have heard a similar rumor that since RIM turned the Colt into a dev only device they are working on a Q2 2012 launch for QNX BBX phones with all of the features carriers want. The thing is even Kvaal admits that its the right decision for RIM to wait until the device is fully ready. RIM was even giving the same Q2 2012 on the side at DevCon though I don’t remember it being said officially.

The PlayBook is set to get its OS update before BBX but I know I am waiting for the BBX phones! Hopefully RIM manages to spin on a dime and bring it back into Q1 2012. I want a BBX phone in my hands before BlackBerry World!

Really? RIM has missed every target for that last 2 year! Have you tried 2.0 for the playbook? There some weird F@#$ stuff going on with 2.0, and I really don’t see how the they are going to get anything done, now with Xmas almost hear!

Not really a delay. The expectation for BBX phones has always been summer 2012

Thrutu Lets You Share Location, Photos, & More While on the Phone

 Thrutu Thrutu2 

Thrutu came out for BlackBerry during DevCon but I did not have a chance to play with it until now. The app tries to solve a simple problem of sharing information while you are on a call. For example, say you want to send somebody a contact or a picture while on the phone. Or simply give them your location when you are not sure where you are. That is where Thrutu comes in.

Thrutu3 Thrutu4

With Thrutu you can share your:

The “prod” sort of creeps me out but I can see a use for the app especially since it is available on Android and iOS for cross platform uses. On the other hand I usually simply send the same information over email so this really just simplifies it a tad. You can check out Thrutu at thrutu.com or simply pick it up free in App World.

Check out their Android and iPhone demo below for an idea of how the app works:

Do You Have a Nickname for Your BlackBerry?

BlackBerry Nicknames

This is one that has changed for me over the years. I used to have some interesting nicknames for my BlackBerry over the years ranging bbetty to HAL but haven’t really thought about it for awhile. RIM’s @BlackBerryHelp squad reminded me by throwing out the question on Twitter and then posting some of the favorites in the image above on their blog.

So I thought I would throw it out to all of you. What do you call your BlackBerry?

PS: Funniest one I have heard over the years was Sancho or Sancha…

Check Out The New BerryReview Website Redesign!

BR design2

This one has been a long time coming and I am happy to announce that the time is finally here. We have just launched a new redesign of the BerryReview desktop site. It takes into account quite a bit of feedback we have received over the past few months and we really hope you enjoy it. The whole team has put quite a bit of effort into it and this is still a work in progress. Expect much more in the future!

With that said we need your help to squash out the bugs and any suggestions and tips about the new design. We will be running a contest later on around the new look but for now just send us a tip of leave a comment telling us what you think!

Thanks to everybody who helped with the redesign and their suggestions! You know who you are!
