On May 2, RIM has introduced their new smartphone, the Blackberry Curve that includes new applications such as the Roxio Photosuite 9 , a comprehensive tool that makes it easy to edit pictures and create photo albums. This phone is scheduled to be released by several carriers, including AT&T, in the spring. To read the press release and to see a picture of the phone, copy this link.

Charles McCoy is attending the 2007 Wireless Enterprise Symposim in Orlando, Floridia May 7-11. The Conference will have the RIM corporation offering information about blackberry technology. I hope to learn more about their devices and especially about Blackberry Enterprise Server.
On April 26, the wireless development group conducted a cellular technology forum where we discussed with 10 students what were the different types of information they would want access to in their mobile devices. One major feature that the students wanted access to was text messaging. Students informed us that they didn’t have a problem having a SMS sent to their phones as long as it was a well defined emergency. Other features included access to email, internet and to have their school calender uploaded on their phones. We discused our blackberry project and informed them the capability of what applications we could add to these phones. The hour long discussion was a sucess. We received a good information to start with. We did a drawing for the winner to either win a blackberry 8800 or blackberry pearl. The student that won decided on the pearl.
