I see RIM (Research In Motion) has announced a new video chat app for the its tablet..

Seeing as though they were HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL with BBM, I can see this being a hit with its users.

Here are some specs...


• One-Click Video and Voice over Wi-Fi Calls - with just one click users can make a call from their Video Chat contact list, log of recent calls or simply by entering the BBID email address of the person they want to call.
• Incoming Call Notifications - users will receive a notification pop-up when a new video call comes in, allowing them to accept the call as either a video or voice call, or decline the call. For those quiet moments - such as when while watching a movie or playing a game -users will also have the ability to simply set the "Do Not Disturb" option and the BlackBerry PlayBook will automatically ignore all incoming calls.
• Powerful In-Call Functions - by using the picture-in-picture function users can easily preview their own video image prior to placing the call in order to see what will be displayed on the other end. They can also easily switch cameras from front to rear so their friends can see what they are seeing, and for private moments users can mute/unmute audio or make or take calls using voice only.
• Friends List - BlackBerry PlayBook Video Chat comes complete with a Friends List for maintaining your favorite contacts. A picture can easily be added to a contact to personalize the entry and a Call Log makes it simple to keep track of received and missed calls.

New Blackberry w/pics...Courtsey of PocketBerry

Here are some of the specs of the device that have come out.

* It’s a portrait-oriented slider. While most people assume a device with slideout keyboard would end up being something like HTC’s devices, we’ve been told this particular handset is more like the Palm Pre in terms of layout.
* The phone will run BlackBerry OS 6.0
* The rumored device will 100% support Wi-Fi 802.11n
* The resolution unfortunately has not improved, it is still 360×480.
* No word on if this will have a touch screen, but we’d assume so, and our source alluded to this possibly being what the rumored BlackBerry Magnum/Dakota evolved into. Not saying there won’t be a Bold-like device with touchscreen, optical trackpad, and physical keyboard, but this might be released first.
* If it does have a touch screen, this could in fact be the mythical BlackBerry Storm slider — picture a Storm 9520 with a slide up Bold-esque keyboard.
* The phone will not be a Verizon exclusive — it’s supposed to be a GSM/HSPA device.



Oh and the ViperStart has officially launched!

I was wondering if Viper was going to mate Remote w/smartphones

Looks like I was correct. I mean, I have a remote start and am a little ticked I didn't take the initiative to make a damm app for this! (Smacks forehead) Oh well, it looks as if it is here. It is available for iPhones and iPods AND BLACKBERRIES right now. I imagine that a BB app isn't too far behind. The concept is still the same though as with remote start only now there is more range with in which you to work worth. Notable features include:





* Lock/arm
* Unlock/disarm
* Remote car starter
* Trunk release
* Panic or car finder


* 2-Way confirmation of commands received at vehicle
* Error messages if command not received successfully
* Vehicle personalization
* App passcode protection
* Password management utilities
* Button confirmation sounds

In case you are wondering, "What if I have a Viper system already? Do I have to buy another one?" Not if you have these following ones you do not.

Remote Start Systems:

Viper 5902
Viper 5901
Viper 5701
Viper 5601


Viper 5501
Viper 5301
Viper 5101

Prices start at $299 and go up to about $499, depending on if you do indeed need a new remote system or which model you want.
