Bludzee, the Kitten Created by Cartoonist Lewis Trondheim, Launched as a BlackBerry Smartphone Application from Ave!Comics

BlackBerry smartphone users can now enjoy a new innovative and unique comic strip experience while on the go

France - Now users of BlackBerry® smartphones can enjoy reading a comic of Bludzee, a small black kitten with blue eyes, on their handset. Ave!Comics, the Montpellier based company that specializes in publishing and developing comics on smartphones, has created an application for BlackBerry smartphones that allows fans to take the fun and humor of Bludzee wherever they go.

Lewis Trondheim, a cartoonist with a strong following amongst comic fans and bloggers, created Bludzee specifically for reading on a smartphone.

Who is this small black kitten with blue eyes?
Bludzee has been left on his own in a large apartment (his owner has disappeared) so he has to learn how to look after himself… as well as solve the problem of his dwindling supply of dry food. On a daily basis, the reader will discover how this resourceful bundle of fur is doing, thanks to his sense of fun and humour!

Similar to a traditional comic strip, the story of each Bludzee adventure is displayed on the vivid display of a BlackBerry smartphone. Each episode is depicted on the application’s home-screen as a branch of a tree and the user has to simply click on the "strip" to discover a new story.

Bludzee’s adventures are available to BlackBerry smartphone users for only 7.49 € ($9.99) for 1 year.

His adventures will be translated into 19 languages (from French to Spanish to Russian and Japanese). The application is available for download on BlackBerry App World™ (http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/email/3796)for the BlackBerry® Curve™ 8900, BlackBerry® Bold™ 9000 and BlackBerry® Storm™ smartphones.

About Ave !Comics
Ave!Comics presents an animated and fun reading experience that allows the reader to really immerse themselves in the pages. This Montpellier based company created an innovative solution to adapt comics for mobile phone screens and computers. Halfway between a book and an animation, Ave!Comics proposed a dynamic reading experience, with zoom and transitional effects and other animations. With Ave!Comics, reading on your phone is a real pleasure.

BigTinCan Helps BlackBerry Developers to BuzzMe

Popular alert-management application now opened up to 3rd party developers

Australia - BigTinCan is opening up its BuzzMe platform on BlackBerry® smartphones to 3rd party developers, allowing them to tap into the over 2 million users of the popular alert-management application.

Announced at the 2009 BlackBerry Developers Conference in San Francisco today, the BuzzMe Open Plugin Architecture (BOPA) will allow users to control alerts and actions for calls and messages, and enable 3rd party applications on the BlackBerry platform to take advantage of the open API.

BuzzMe, one of the most downloaded applications on BlackBerry smartphones, controls the LED color, and vibration length for calls, emails and SMS/MMS messages, and even provides great features like a customizable missed call reminder, and “facedown mode” which leverages the accelerometer in the BlackBerry Storm and BlackBerry Storm2 to stop vibration and other alerts from activating when the smartphone is placed face down.. The basic version of BuzzMe is available as a free download and the PRO version is $2.99, both available on BlackBerry App World™.

BigTinCan CEO David Keane said the initiative was a response to user demand.

"Thousands and thousands of BuzzMe users contact BigTinCan every month asking for ways to be able to control other applications using the BuzzMe interface," he said. "They want to be able to control how those applications alert them, and they want to be able to set those alerts all in a single place that is easy to use and that they trust."

BOPA has already received the support of successful BlackBerry developers like Orangatame, the developer of OpenBeak (formerly TwitterBerry), a leading mobile client for posting updates to Twitter from a BlackBerry smartphone.

Jason Schroeder, founder of Orangatame, is excited about what BigTinCan has created with BOPA. "We see this as a great way to allow OpenBeak users to get access to the features of BuzzMe and to integrate their notifications into one place. We particularly like that BigTinCan has taken a standards-based approach by using existing BlackBerry APIs that makes it easy for developers like us to work with them,” says Schroeder.

David Keane, CEO BigTinCan says, “We are very happy to have the support of Orangatame and we welcome them as a partner for the BOPA project, with their industry leading OpenBeak client integrated for alerting into BuzzMe, we will be able to offer a powerful solution to BlackBerry developers worldwide.”

BOPA is an open architecture built around an open API that will be very familiar to BlackBerry developers. It is based on the RIM GLOBAL EVENTS API and allows a 3rd party app to register a global event and communicate with BuzzMe through this event whenever there is an action that has to be communicated to the user. The user can then decide how they want to be alerted to the event - as a LED flash, TONE, or vibration.

To ensure that all plugin 3rd party applications are well-behaved and conform to the API and BOPA specification, developers must apply for an "appid" in advance of their application release. Developers will be given an appid that is used by the GLOBAL EVENTS API and is passed to BuzzMe with any alert information.

BOPA helps BlackBerry developers by:

• making life easier, as developers no longer have to worry about how the alerts from their application are presented to the user
• making applications more appealing to end users, as it allows the user to control in an single place how alerts work in a way that they can easily see, control and ensure they know what alert comes for any application
• getting access to the “facedown” mode in BuzzMe PRO that allows users to silence events when the phone is set “facedown”
• gives access to the over 2 million BuzzMe users on BlackBerry smartphones, who would be able to see any 3rd party applications as part of the BOPA family and will therefore be more likely to want to download and install that application
• being tremendously easy to use and work with, BigTinCan provides sample code, and full example applications that developers can download and use.

BOPA echoes the “BlackBerry Flow” principle introduced by Research In Motion (RIM) at the 2009 BlackBerry Developers Conference, which describes the approach of developing
custom applications for BlackBerry that transparently link to the other applications on the smartphone to offer an intuitive and deeply integrated user experience.

BOPA will be available for users in BuzzMe version 3 due for release in January 2010. It features an extremely simple user interface, whereby users select your application from a list of applications in the PLUGINS menu in BuzzMe.

Leveraging on the push service of the BlackBerry platfrom, users of BuzzMe version 3 will be pushed information about new updates and integrated apps when they become available. The user simply selects your app and then sets the configuration for alerts from the app.

In Version 3.0 users will be able to select the

• LED color
• Vibration length
• Facedown mode on/off
• TONE for the alert

Developers can register their application through the BigTinCan website at www.bigtincan.com/bopa where they can apply for an appid. BigTinCan will respond to approved developers with an appid that is built into the 3rd party application. There is no need to submit any binary of your application.

RIM and Adobe to Simplify Delivery of Rich Content and Applications for BlackBerry Smartphones

Adobe to Deliver Support for BlackBerry Smartphones within Adobe Creative Suite; RIM to Incorporate Flash Platform into BlackBerry Platform

San Francisco, CA - At the 2009 BlackBerry® Developer Conference, Research In Motion (RIM) (Nasdaq: RIMM; TSX: RIM) and Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq: ADBE) today expanded their collaboration and announced that creative professionals and application developers will be able to use the Adobe® Flash® Platform technology and Adobe Creative Suite® content development and authoring tools to easily create rich content and application experiences for BlackBerry® smartphones.

“There is tremendous opportunity for RIM and Adobe to align our platforms to help developers create BlackBerry applications that are highly engaging and deeply integrated in order to deliver the best user experience in the market,” said Jim Balsillie, Co-CEO, Research In Motion. “We are working closely with Adobe to enable our developer communities to build rich content services and BlackBerry Widgets that leverage the latest runtime environments, APIs and network services through Adobe’s industry leading design and development tools.”

“RIM is at the forefront of driving smartphone innovation, and it’s only natural that further integrating our respective platforms will set new standards for engaging content and applications,” said Shantanu Narayen, president and CEO of Adobe. “The expanded partnership between both companies will open up great new opportunities by making it even easier for content designers and mobile application developers to create rich and compelling content for the BlackBerry platform.”

Future versions of Adobe Creative Suite starting with Adobe Creative Suite 5 will provide the ability for designers to create optimized graphic assets, such as image and video content, from tools such as Adobe Photoshop®, Adobe Illustrator® and Adobe After Effects®, for the BlackBerry platform. These graphics assets can then be easily imported into BlackBerry application development tools, including the BlackBerry® Java® Plug-in for Eclipse™ (www.blackberry.com/developers/java) and the BlackBerry® Web Plug-in for Eclipse™ (www.blackberry.com/developers/web), for use in applications and user interfaces. Backgrounds, icons and images created with Adobe tools such as Adobe Photoshop will also be able to be used in the new BlackBerry® Theme Studio (www.blackberry.com/developers/themes) to create compelling BlackBerry themes.

Adobe Dreamweaver®, Adobe Fireworks® and Adobe Device Central software will also be enabled to support the creation and testing of BlackBerryWidgets and web content optimized for the BlackBerry® Browser. Additionally, users will be able to directly import photos and video captured on their BlackBerry smartphones and edit them using Adobe’s consumer offerings including Photoshop Elements and Photoshop.com.

The collaboration aims to accelerate the mobile application and content development workflow between BlackBerry application and web content developers and creative professionals that use Adobe tools. It will also reduce the re-creation of graphic assets and iterations that designers and developers have to go through to generate rich application user interfaces, animations, images and video content when supporting multiple platforms.

Today's news builds upon the recent announcement that the two companies are working together as part of the Open Screen Project to bring the Adobe Flash® Player browser runtime to BlackBerry smartphones. The two companies will also be collaborating to adapt other key components of the Flash Platform including Adobe AIR®.

RIM and Adobe are demonstrating a sneak peek of the enhanced mobile authoring workflow during the keynote address today at the 2009 BlackBerry Developer Conference. To learn more about this collaboration, developers can visit the BlackBerry® Developer Zone (www.blackberry.com/developers/adobe) and Adobe Developer Site (www.adobe.com/devnet).

Cortado Introduces Developer Competition "Apps Need Printing"

Denver, CO - Cortado, the mobile business expert, announced at the BlackBerry® Developer Conference 2009 in San Francisco, an exciting competition offering BlackBerry® developers a chance to win great prizes. It calls on developers to test Cortado's new, Java-based CHAPI (Content Handling API, JSR-211) interface and submit suggestions for the best and most original use of printing within an application.

Interested developers can find out more information and apply for access to the beta version of the latest Cortado solutions with CHAPI interface at www.cortado.com/win. The deadline for submission for the "Apps need printing!" competition is December 9, 2009. In addition to originality, expected market opportunity will also be a factor when deciding the winners. First, second and third place winners will receive a Nintendo Wii as well as a Cortado marketing and partner package worth $5,000 USD.

"A printing function could increase the usefulness of many mobile apps, thereby improving market opportunities," says Thorsten Hesse, Director of Sales for Cortado and Member of the Management Board. ”Our standardized print interface makes it very easy to enable any other type of mobile application which works with the same CHAPI interface to print."

One example of an application that is already equipped with a CHAPI interface to work with Cortado is Documents To Go, the mobile Office Suite of DataViz. "Our customers, who work with Word, PowerPoint or Excel on their smartphones, can now print their documents while away from the office. This has been a highly requested feature from our Documents To Go customer base and we are pleased to see the feature now available, says Shari Hoffman, Product Manager Documents To Go at DataViz, a strategic Cortado partner.

By the end of the year, Cortado plans to provide BlackBerry® smartphone users with its printing service for free. Providers of BlackBerry smartphone applications will also benefit from the service because they will be able to add the "Print" function to their own app at no cost.
