RIM Launches BlackBerry Mobile Conferencing App on BlackBerry App World

June 3, 2011

Free App Makes Joining and Scheduling Conference Calls from a BlackBerry Smartphone Quick and Easy

Waterloo, ON - Research In Motion (RIM) (NASDAQ: RIMM; TSX: RIM) today announced availability of the free BlackBerry® Mobile Conferencing app on BlackBerry App World™ for customers in North America. BlackBerry Mobile Conferencing makes joining and scheduling conference calls from a BlackBerry® smartphone quick and easy.

The app converts audio conferencing details into a single “Join Now” button for a user to quickly and easily join a conference call from their BlackBerry smartphone in a single click. It also makes it easy to schedule conference calls from a BlackBerry smartphone in an easy two-step process using the BlackBerry Calendar and a user’s conference call profile, which they can easily set up in the app. Many of the leading audio conferencing systems are supported.

“With BlackBerry Mobile Conferencing, making conference calls has never been easier,” said Tom Goguen, vice president, collaboration and social networking at Research In Motion. “Converting multiple steps and hard to remember codes into a simple ‘Join Now’ button is another great example of how BlackBerry smartphones enhance communications and productivity.”

Key features of the BlackBerry Mobile Conferencing app include:

  • One-Click Join – Before a conference call starts, a pop-up reminder displays a “Join Now” button that, with a single click, dials the conference bridge and enters the appropriate codes to connect the user to the conference. If the call gets disconnected or the user needs to drop off, the app will present a “Reconnect” button, which dials the user back into the call with one click.
  • Easy Conference Scheduling – A user can schedule a conference call complete with conference bridge details directly from the BlackBerry Calendar in an easy two-step process. To enable this capability, the user sets their conference call profile once in the BlackBerry Mobile Conferencing app, including dial-in numbers and access codes, then simply adds the profile as part of the calendar invitation. (The moderator code is kept hidden from participants in the calendar invitation.)
  • Optimal Conference Call Number Selection – If multiple dial-in numbers are provided to accommodate participants in different regions, the application can automatically choose an optimal number to use (for calls within North America), such as using the local number if the user is within the local calling area rather than a toll-free number; or a toll- free number if the dial-in number would otherwise be long distance. Users can also select or modify a specific dial-in number manually.

BlackBerry Mobile Conferencing requires BlackBerry® Device Software 5.0 or higher. It is currently available in North America on BlackBerry App World at http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/46253.

Chunghwa Telecom Launches BlackBerry Smartphone and Services for Enterprise Customers and Consumers in Taiwan

Works with Vodafone to offer Managed Enterprise Communications Solutions

Taipei, Taiwan - Chunghwa Telecom today launched BlackBerry® smartphone and services from Research In Motion (RIM) in the local market, offering comprehensive and attractive mobile solutions for both enterprise customers and consumers. ChungHwa Telecom is offering customers the new BlackBerry® Torch™ smartphone as well as BlackBerry service plans on its 3G network. Chunghwa Telecom is also offering subscribers monthly International Roaming for BlackBerry data service covering 23 countries.

Chunghwa Telecom will provide enterprise customers with the BlackBerry® Enterprise Solution, which tightly integrates with IBM® Lotus® Domino®, Microsoft® Exchange and Novell® GroupWise® and uses advanced security and IT policy controls to enable secure, push-based wireless access to email and other corporate data.

For individuals and small businesses, BlackBerry® Internet Service incorporates a variety of services and allows customers to access up to 10 supported corporate and personal email accounts (including most popular ISP email accounts such as Yahoo! Mail and Google Mail) from a BlackBerry smartphone.

“Chunghwa Telecom sees great demand for the highly efficient push-based BlackBerry solution in Taiwan, especially in the enterprise market. Working with RIM to launch BlackBerry products and services, Chunghwa Telecom customers will now be able to enjoy highly secure and efficient push-based mobile access to email and corporate data,” said Shih Mu-Piao, President, Chunghwa Telecom Mobile Business Group.

“The BlackBerry solution offers a powerful and unique experience for Chunghwa Telecom’s enterprise customers and consumers, allowing them to stay easily connected to people and information while on the move,” said Norm Lo, Vice President of Asia Pacific at RIM. “In addition, BlackBerry Torch, together with BlackBerry 6, combines the benefits of a large capacitive touch screen and a BlackBerry keyboard and offers outstanding business, entertainment and social networking features, making it an ideal choice for both business and personal use. We are very happy to work with Chunghwa Telecom and we look forward to expanding our presence in both the enterprise and consumer market segments.”

The partnership with Vodafone will enable Chunghwa Telecom to offer a range of managed communications services to multi-national enterprises which are coming under growing pressure to enhance efficiency and reduce costs.

“Through cooperation with Vodafone, Chunghwa Telecom can offer managed communications services to meet the needs of multi-national enterprises. Chunghwa Telecom is also introducing a number of special offers for international roaming data services to meet the needs of multi-national enterprise users,” added Shih.

The managed enterprise solutions offered through Vodafone Global Enterprise are designed to help multi-national companies manage their global telecoms needs as well as improve efficiencies. For example, Spend Manager is an online portal that enables customers to analyze their mobile usage on both a global and local level. Vodafone Global Enterprise Central Ordering is an online portal that enables multi-national customers to order devices and basic services.

As EU and Canada have waived visa requirements for visits by Taiwanese citizen, there will be an increased demand for international mobile roaming service from both outbound business and leisure travelers in Taiwan.

Jonathan Kriegel, Head of Business Development, Asia at Vodafone added, “Vodafone's presence includes Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific and the US. Vodafone has investments and partnerships in more than 70 countries around the world, launching products and services that benefit many enterprises and consumers. Vodafone is glad to see the cooperation between Chunghwa Telecom and RIM in launching the BlackBerry Torch smartphone to the carrier’s enterprise customers and consumers. Vodafone and Chunghwa Telecom’s extensive worldwide roaming coverage and attractive roaming plans will deliver unique benefits to business and leisure travelers. We will continue to work with Chunghwa Telecom to expand their international roaming services so that customers can enjoy affordable mobile services when traveling abroad.”

3G BlackBerry Service Plans and Special Offers

The BlackBerry Torch smartphone is now available through 80 Chunghwa Telecom retail outlets and authorized resellers. Chunghwa Telecom is also offering BlackBerry service plans on its 3G network. Individual customers who subscribe to a monthly service plan at NT$1,939 (NT$989 for voice and NT$950 for BlackBerry service) will be offered the BlackBerry Torch at NT$1,990*.

BlackBerry 6 Gains FIPS Security Certification for U.S. Government Agencies

BlackBerry Torch and Other BlackBerry Smartphones Running the New BlackBerry 6 OS Now Certified for Use by U.S. Government Agencies

Waterloo, ON - Research In Motion (RIM) (NASDAQ: RIMM, TSX: RIM) announced today that BlackBerry® 6, a powerful new operating system for BlackBerry® smartphones, is now FIPS 140-2 certified. This FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard) certification provides confidence to a variety of security-conscious organizations, including U.S. government agencies, companies in regulated industries and other organizations dealing with sensitive information, that data stored on smartphones running BlackBerry 6 can be properly secured and encrypted.

“This FIPS certification will help extend the reach of BlackBerry 6 to users in a wide range of government agencies and other security-conscious organizations in the U.S.,” said Scott Totzke, Vice President, BlackBerry Security Group at Research In Motion. “BlackBerry 6 offers an exceptional mobile experience for BlackBerry smartphone users on the most secure wireless platform in the industry.”

BlackBerry 6, which debuted on the BlackBerry® Torch™ smartphone earlier this year, retains the trusted features of the BlackBerry brand while delivering a rich experience that’s powerful and easy to use.

BlackBerry 6 can also run on the BlackBerry® Bold™ 9650, BlackBerry® Bold™ 9700, BlackBerry® Curve™ 3G and BlackBerry® Pearl™ 3G smartphones (subject to carrier certifications).

FIPS is a U.S. government computer security standard for certifying cryptographic modules. The standard was developed through the Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP), which certifies products for use by U.S. government agencies and regulated industries that collect, store, transfer, share and disseminate sensitive information. Product certifications under the CMVP are performed in accordance with the requirements of FIPS 140-2.

In addition to various FIPS certifications, BlackBerry® products have passed rigorous security assessments from a variety of other independent organizations around the world. For example, the BlackBerry® Enterprise Solution has been approved through the CESG Assisted Product Scheme (CAPS) in the United Kingdom and by the Defence Signals Directorate in Australia, and has also received Common Criteria EAL 4+ certification.” As a result, the BlackBerry Enterprise Solution has been approved for storing and transmitting sensitive data by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) as well as government organizations in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Austria, Australia and New Zealand.

Automatically Track and Email Business Mileage Using Innovative Application For BlackBerry Smartphones

New version of VQ Mileage Tracker app not only tracks business mileage but now also automatically emails reports to user

Toronto, ON - VQ Mileage Tracker™ (www.4tracker.com), an app for BlackBerry® smartphones that automatically tracks business mileage, now also automatically emails reports to users, making it even easier for employees to save time while increasing accuracy and accountability for employers and people who are self-employed.

“VQ Mileage Tracker has been a run-away success since it launched this Spring,” says Harris Korn, president of Xpressions Inc., creators of VQ Mileage Tracker (www.4tracker.com) and VQ CarFinder (www.4carfinder). “Since then, we’ve added a number of new features based on user feedback, making VQ Mileage Tracker an even more efficient and effective tool for business people to track and report their mileage.”

New features in version 3.2.0 of VQ Mileage Tracker include:

  • Auto-Report Generation: Users can set VQ Mileage Tracker to automatically email them weekly, monthly or quarterly Mileage Report spreadsheets
  • Track to nearest tenth of mile/km: Users can track to the nearest tenth of a mile/km or to the nearest mile/km
  • Time Tracker: In addition to reporting start and end address and distance travelled, VQ Mileage Tracker now also reports trip duration in hours and minutes so users can more accurately track time spent driving for business
  • Advanced Address Capture: VQ Mileage Tracker can capture the address where the user parked even if they parked underground

“VQ Mileage Tracker saves business people time and spares them the frustration and inefficiency of manually tracking their mileage,” adds Korn. “It’s great for anyone who has to be on the road for work.”

“Most existing mileage tracking apps are what we call ‘digital pencils’, in that they require you to manually key in everything,” says Korn. “VQ Mileage Tracker does all of this for the user. It automatically notes the date and time, how far you drove, and the address you drove to every time you drive your car and now it can automatically email you all this information when you’re ready to submit an expense report.”

An Enterprise version of VQ Mileage Tracker has also been launched which enables companies to efficiently and cost-effectively track employee mileage.

VQ Mileage Tracker uses the GPS built into a BlackBerry smartphone along with in-vehicle Bluetooth® to automatically determine when the user starts and ends a trip. Owners of vehicles without built-in Bluetooth can purchase a VQ Bluetooth Car Charger (a Car Charger that also simulates in-vehicle Bluetooth) at www.4tracker.com, or they can use the app in semi-automatic mode – they just click on the app when they start driving, and then click the app again when they reach their destination. VQ Mileage Tracker does the rest.

“The business community’s response to VQ Mileage Tracker has been exceptional. Salespeople and field service staff see this as a great time saver. Management in sales, field services and finance see VQ Mileage Tracker as an efficient and cost effective tool to increase staff productivity and reporting accuracy. We’re also exploring enterprise-level licensing opportunities for companies to distribute VQ Mileage Tracker to their staff as a productivity tool.”

VQ Mileage Tracker is currently promotionally priced on BlackBerry App World™ (www.blackberry.com/appworld). VQ Mileage Tracker works on all current BlackBerry smartphone models that have built-in GPS and run BlackBerry OS version 4.6 or higher.

Public transportation route finder app now available on BlackBerry App World

Vienna, Austria - SCOTTY mobil is ÖBB’s (Austrian Railways) new route finder app for BlackBerry® smartphones, allowing users to search and plan travel using all means of public transport in Austria. To make travelling easier than ever before, ÖBB announces the launch of the free app on BlackBerry App World™.

Future of mobile information

The SCOTTY mobil app provides up to date information including: train and bus schedules, maps of local areas and real-time information and updates relevant to all forms of public transport in Austria. The initiative, which started more than 2 years ago to better inform travelers in Austria, provides travel information in real-time, as well as maps of the surroundings. Beginning today, travelers will be able to get all this information, using the SCOTTY mobil application on their BlackBerry smartphone.

Smart connection
Gabriele Lutter, Speaker of the Board of Management ÖBB Personenverkehr: "The intelligent link between BlackBerry smartphones and the ÖBB service makes every aspect of researching information for travel even more convenient. With this application, checking for a schedule on your BlackBerry smartphone is extremely easy and straight-forward, even if you are doing it at the last minute."

SCOTTY mobil leads the way
SCOTTY mobil provides travelers with a simple way to find their preferred connection and timetable, without the need to enter large amounts of information. You will always find the right way, because SCOTTY mobil shows walking instructions as well as bus stops and/or surrounding train stations.

You will find schedules, not only of Austrian means of public transport, but also European train connections or even bus timetables in Switzerland.
