Kevin,

Did you get a chance to find out what version of 2.0 the RIM guys were running at CES?

 
 
Posted by sf49ers Thursday, Jan 12, 2012 133 days ago

features like this make the Blackberry indispensable from the enterprises - good play RIM

Hmm lock down copy/paste?

Isn't it already umm"locked down" lol

Joke aside can't wait to start playing with this and implementing Balance with my BES clients.

What do you mean? Copy and paste works fine unless you're in Bridge.

And copy-and-paste from a Bridge app (if the phone is on BES) is the same as copy-and-paste from a Balance work app on the PB, it's blocked to prevent leaking company data out to the world.

Yes. Kevin, please ask them how is that Playbook connected to Mobile Fusion. Is it Activesync only or NOC?

If I lose my PB can I remote wipe both my Personal info & the work info? or do I have to call my IT dept and have them do it? Or do I have to wipe my personal stuff & the IT guy my work stuff?

VMware Showed an Android-based Virtual Machines at CES this week. It is designed to all you to create a encrypted Virtual Android within you personal Android based phone. You could use the Virtual Phone for you Corporate accounts and allow your work IT department to control and if necessary wipe the Virtual Phone. While all your personal data remains.

Not sure which system would eventually work better, but I like the idea that if I use my personal phone to access my corporate network that I don't have to give up complete control.

the VMWare solution sounds significantly heavier than the PB solution - we'll have to wait and see.

btw who is that poor girl sitting on the floor?

Not only is she the only one without a chair, she's the only person Kevin didn't mention by name :( lol

Very nice. Man, if Playbook had all these OS 2 features out of the gate, things may have been very different. It's an uphill climb for RIM now, but sounds like they are moving in the right direction. I'd really excited if they can easily port all these features to BB10 phones without costly redesign.

I know its VEGAS / CES and everyone is tired but RIM needs some PASSIONATE people presenting these demos for them. Hire actors if they need to. If its going out for the world to see, PUT SOME ENERGY into it. You have the best product on the market. Get **EXCITED** about it while showing it off so others watching can get excited about it. It's all about how you present yourself and your product.

Hard to be excited when your not sure about the future of the company, and all those bonus that you got in stock options over the years are now almost worthless.

$0 debt, 75 million subscribers, $1+ billion plus every 3 months. Sure the stock price sucks, but sooner or later the market will correct what speculators and day traders have done.

any preview for video call os 2.0 at CES kevin ?

 
 
Posted by bbpandy Thursday, Jan 12, 2012 133 days ago

CNET saw skype on a Playbook in the QNZ Porche......

I'm not liking that IT can't block the user from adding apps. Maybe that is handled through Fusion. One of the issues we have right now is people possibly loading apps that interfere with the company app.

I do like Fusion.

so much potential RIM needs to capitalize on
