| SonicAir v2.2 Streams Media from Your PC to your PlayBook Using Subsonic Posted: 04 Nov 2011 03:02 PM PDT
SonicAir (aka Air Sonic) is an Adobe FLEX implementation of a Subsonic streaming client for the BlackBerry PlayBook. Mir & Windsor Design created this client that streams tons of different variants of Music and Video from your PC to your PlayBook. It uses the powerful Subsonic streaming server on your desktop and you need API access which you get if you donate to the Subsonic project. @Bla1ze pointed out SonicAir to me and I have to say I have been impressed since I started using it. If you are a media buff this is definitely worth it since Subsonic can stream practically everything you throw at it including high def files like 720p MKV videos. Features include:
Check out their great guide on how to setup SonicAir and Subsonic here. You will then need to download Subsonic and donate to the project to get API access and only then should you purchase SonicAir for $2.99 in App World. The latest v2.2 was just released this week and here is the current changelog: Features, enhancements and bugfixes 2.2 (30/10/2011) Bug fixes 2.1.13 (17/10/2011) New features in 2.1.8 (14/10/2011): New features in 2.0.2 (06/10/2011): If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

| Andy Gryc of QNX Talks Automotive Applications with Paul Sykes of Freescale Posted: 04 Nov 2011 11:13 AM PDT
Since RIM acquired QNX I have been very interested in the QNX CAR Application Platform that they have been pushing to car vendors. You don't usually hear much about it since these are usually rebranded by auto makers into their own car systems but QNX has been working with Freescale to bring the QNX platform and the Freescale iM.x platform to more cars. Paul from QNX pointed out a great interview on Embedded-Computing where their staff interviewed Andy Gryc, Automotive Product Manager @ QNX, along with Paul Sykes, Marketing Manager @ Freescale's Driver Information Systems organization, about the implications and challenges of in car systems. Andy from QNX does make a clear point of mentioning that:

They have made the popular voice command app Vlingo free for a limited time which is a huge boon considering its $19.99 price tag.

| RIM’s Alec Saunders Says BBX “Designed for Dual Core” & Theme Studio Coming in 2012 Posted: 04 Nov 2011 06:39 AM PDT
RIM's new VP of Developer Relations, Alec Saunders, sat down with Al Sacco @CIO for a quick interview on the future of BlackBerry. Most of it seems to cover the same topics we heard at DevCon but there were a few tidbits that are worth pointing out. Alec continues to stress that BlackBerry OS 7 and current devices will "be in market for some time" but we will "see a natural evolution away from the BlackBerry OS Platform" to BBX. The thing is that Alec told Al that:
We have heard this line a few times all the way up to Mike Lazaridis but then the Colt demo BBX device that is floating around behind the scenes as a developer unit only has a single core. That makes it sound like current BlackBerry 7 devices are never going to see BBX. On the other hand that sort of makes sense since things like bezel gestures don't exist on current hardware. Alec also confirmed that BBX phones at launch will support BES and native PIM along with BlackBerry bridge for tablets in case companies want to use that for security reasons. Alec also covered development and said that it was a really tough decision for RIM to not support the BlackBerry JDE on BBX. According to him RIM "worked really hard to get the JDE environment on BBX" but it didn't work out. Alec also confirmed that the BlackBerry 7 liquid graphics (read OpenGL) engine stopped RIM from being able to release a Theme Studio dev environment for developers. Supposedly those tools will come in mid-2012 which is a far way off. Al smartly asked how RIM developed the Porsche theme used in the new BlackBerry P'9981 and it turns out that RIM has an internal theme development building tool but it is not shared.
