Blackberry Enterprise server now supports managing iPhones and Droids too

The solution will allow enterprises manage Android and iOS based devices, allowing users to now carry his Apple or Android phone to office and use office network.

Research In Motion, the maker of Blackberry phones, has launched a mobile device management (MDM) solution for enterprise customers. This solution, called BlackBerry Mobile Fusion, will allow enterprises manage Android and iOS based devices too. Hence, it brings the much needed flexibility for the office goers to take his/her Apple or Android phone to office and use office network.

Earlier, the Blackberry enterprise server used to allow security and management of only BlackBerry phones. Since, security of data is a big issue for enterprises, companies usually prevented employees from using their personal Android and iOS based devices in office network. However, the new BlackBerry Mobile Fusion, which is also based on Blackberry enterprise server, allows enterprises manage both Android and iOS based phones in a secured manner.
This new software provides a single, unified, web-based console for easy management of devices.
Blackberry has been losing market share in the smartphone market even in strong markets like India where it has been the device of choice for businesses. However, enterprises continued to be skeptical of Android and iOS devices due to security concerns.
This meant that often people had to buy BlackBerry phones out of compulsion but with this new solution, enterprises might allow their employees the freedom of choosing a phone of their choice.
Since 90 per cent of the Fortune 500 companies use BlackBerry enterprise server, this will be a great news for people working in these companies.

Fu Chunli from China -the lucky downloader of 25 Billionth App

Ms. Fu Chunli from China was the person who ended up downloading the 25 billionth app from the App Store. As usual, Apple caller her up and offered to fly her to Beijing where she will be presented her prize, the $10,000 iTunes gift card, interact with the media and get some training for her iPhone.

Turns out, Ms. Chunli bought her new iPhone just a month before downloading the lucky 25 billionth app. She was unaware of this competition by Apple and was understandably confused when she got a call from Apple, concluding that it was just some hoax. It was later when she got the email from Apple that she finally believed that she had won the prize.
After that, Chunli was flown to Beijing by Apple, where she visited Apple's corporate headquarters and the Sanlitun retail store, where the award ceremony was arranged.
After all that, we are guessing that the iPhone won't be the last Apple product that Ms. Chunli would be purchasing. As far as the iTunes downloads are concerned, she seems to be sorted for life, what with $10,000 sitting in her account.
Oh, and just in case you were wondering which was the 25 billionth app, it was Disney's game Where's My Water?.

Apple new iPad ,Tablet of flaws...

The tablet is reported to have several flaws which may keep potential buyers at bay.

Apple, the California based computer and mobile equipment manufacturer, seems to be having a tough time with its New iPad tablet. The tablet, in which many flaws have been reported in the past few days, is now identified with another problem.
According to reports, the New iPad continues to charge the battery for almost an hour even after the device prompts the user about the battery being fully charged.






According to Dr. Raymond M. Soneira of DisplayMate, which is a renowned display testing company, the battery on the New iPad does "not actually reach full charge when 100 per cent is shown and need up to an extra hour before the charging actually stops". He claims that the battery gets fully recharge around one hour after the device prompts users of battery getting fully recharged.
However, Apple is yet to come out with a reply that whether it is because of a software bug or a hardware problem.
The New iPad is already having a bad reputation due to its more than average battery charging time and this newly raised concern may keep some potential users from buying it.
The New iPad comes with Retina Display and better hardware than its predecessors. Apple has even managed to sell about three million units of the tablet in eleven different countries within first three days of launch. The new Apple iPad comes with 9.7-inch touchscreen Retina Display supporting higher resolution 2048x1536 pixel resolution. The tablet is slightly thicker and bit heavier than its predecessor. This tablet houses Apple A5X mobile processor and features a better 5 megapixel camera at the back for recording full HD video.
Apple's New iPad, which was introduced by the company on March 7 in USA, is now available in India for Rs 36,799 through as Indian online retailer Tradus.in who has listed the new iPad 16 GB, WiFi model for Rs 36,799 after a discount of Rs 3,191.

Developer Stats show iOS 5.1 is the most quickl adapted OS by iUsers

iOS users have historically been shown to quickly upgrade to the latest update compared to other platforms and with the latest release of iOS 5.1 this seems truer than ever.
Developer David Smith who created the app Audiobooks, a universal app available on both the iPhone and the iPad in free and paid variants and with around 100,000 weekly downloads, has some statistics that he collected from the users downloading his app every since Apple released iOS 5.1 on March 7.

As you can see from the graph above, fourteen days after iOS 5.1 was released, 61 percent of the total users downloading his app were using it, with only 18 percent on the older iOS 5.0.0. The 19 percent of the users on iOS 4.x are likely those using older versions of the iPhone or iPod touch, who are not eligible for iOS 5.


If we look at only iOS 5.x users, the number is even more impressive, with 77 percent of the users on the latest update.

One of the suspected reasons for the quicker adoption of the latest iOS updates is the addition of over-the-air (OTA) updates that was introduced with iOS 5. Now since the update is available directly on their devices, users are more likely to instantly update their phones as soon as it is made available, instead of doing it some time later by connecting it to their computers.
Of course, this is good news for the developers, because if the users update to the newer OS versions quickly, they can also implement new OS related features in their apps faster and drop support for older OS versions that don't support these features.
This data is just for one app, however. We will have to wait for someone to take into account all iOS users so we can have a better idea of the adoption rate.

Apple to offer Nano sim design to other manufactures

A few days ago, we found out that Apple is locking horns with other companies, primarily Nokia, regarding the design of the nano-SIM, the next generation of the SIM design that will be dramatically smaller than even the current micro-SIM. Both companies have put forth their version of what nano-SIM design should be, with each claiming theirs to be better.



Apple's design so far was the most popular among the European carriers, and there is a good chance that it is the one that gets chosen eventually. This led to some fears that Apple will eventually control the license and others will have to pay royalty to use it.
Now, however, thanks to a recent discovery by Florian Mueller of FOSS Patents, it has come to light that Apple will offer the license to its nano-SIM patent royalty free. This means that tomorrow if the design gets chosen, then other companies won't have to pay Apple anything to use their patents regarding the nano-SIM design on their devices.
This proves that at least Apple is in this just to establish a new SIM standard that is smaller (and therefore better) rather than trying to make money off it.
