LiveChat Releases BlackBerry Client for Their Website Chat Service

Posted: 10 Jun 2011 12:47 PM PDT

LiveChat BlackBerry

LiveChat is a very popular chat service for business and consumer websites to be able to communicate with their customers directly on the site. They just released a BlackBerry client for their service which is pretty nice and runs in the background. It is currently in beta and has some limitations but it looks like they plan on adding features. You have the ability to have multiple chat sessions, speak to other chat operators, and see what customers are doing. They have more details on their forums.

If you or your company uses LiveChat's service you can pick up their BlackBerry beta client here OTA or from App World.

Posted: 10 Jun 2011 12:39 PM PDT

 Updated AIR SDK

RIM last updated the AIR SDK and WebWorks SDK for the BlackBerry PlayBook back on the 19th of April. Since then we have not seen much new but from what I am hearing a larger update is coming soon. Until then @Renaun noticed that RIM posted a quick update the the Adobe AIR SDK for the BlackBerry PlayBook bringing it to v1.0.2. I have not noticed anything new in terms of API's or anything like that but RIM has kindly put up a change log.

Here is what is new in this 1.0.2 release which was updated quietly on May 31st:


Feature

Description

Command line tool improvements

  • The blackberry-airpackager command line tool now has a -debugToken option to populate the author and author id fields of the .bar file manifest for debugging.

Installer improvements

Various improvements have been made to the installer. The installer now:

  • Supports console install mode
  • Supports Adobe® Flash Builder® 4.5.1.
  • Only asks for the AIR SDK when integrating with Flash Builder 4.0.1.
  • Does not copy the Adobe® Flex® SDK when integrating with Flash Builder 4.5.0 or 4.5.1.
  • Supports integration with Eclipse when integrating with Flash Builder 4.5.0 or 4.5.1.

You can pick up this relatively minor update to the BlackBerry PlayBook Tablet OS AIR SDK at this link.

    RIM VP Confirms QNX Phones but Cannot Confirm Timing

    Posted: 10 Jun 2011 06:54 AM PDT

    QNX Logo

    RIM's Mike Lazaridis practically confirmed that BlackBerry PlayBook's new QNX based operating system was coming to phones awhile back. Now according to TechRadar we have Carlo Chiarello, VP of GSM/UMTS @RIM, confirming the same with some more adjectives. Lazaridis said that QNX would come to the top of the line BlackBerry phones once they have multi-core processors available and Chiarello confirms that.

    According to Chiarello RIM already has working prototype models of the QNX based phones which makes me wonder what processor they are packing. Here is what he had to say about these devices:


    "That [QNX] experience is going to start to come in to our high tier products. I can’t tell you when; I’m not allowed to. But it’s absolutely part and parcel of what we’re working on now.

    "I can tell you that it’s going to come in to the higher tier value propositions first. It’ll probably come into an all-touch first, more than likely… but I can’t tell you timings specifically. But it looks marvelous!".

    Thanks to Ashley for pointing this out in the forums. I am assuming that QNX phones are not coming before 2012 but I am not sure about TechRadars assumption/guess of 18 months. It could be but I doubt RIM can wait that long. Especially once they have native email and calendaring along with BES policies on the PlayBook they should be able to port that to a phone at a faster pace.
