With WES 2010 now well behind us, I figured we'd wind down our BlackBerry Solution Showcase Partner/Sponsor Spotlight with Parts IV and V together. Watch the videos above and below to see first hand what some of the different enterprise and consumer plays that were on hand at the event.

Part IV includes SteelCloud, CytexOne, HP, Case-Mate and NickelBuddy. Part V includes Dream Theme, Shoot It and My Global Talk. Definitely check out Part V - the guy from Shoot It / My Global Talk was such a character we had to call it quits on the tour after that we were laughing so hard. Totally an awesome guy who loves his job! :)

After announcing Office Hot Shots on the blogs on Friday and spending the weekend tossing paper into the trash can, I reached out to NickelBuddy to get us some free copies to giveaway to CrackBerry Nation. Screen captures don't quite do this unique locking + game application justice, so they also whipped up a video to show it in action. In case you missed our first post, be sure to watch the video for the full walk through and jump over to the product page for detailed features and description. 

Win a Free Copy of Office Hot Shots: Just leave a single comment to this blog post and you're entered to win. Contest entry ends midnight PST.  Good luck!

Office Hot Shots

The folks at NickelBuddy have just released a fun little utility and game all in one with Office Hot Shots. It is both a highly configurable locking application that replaces the default lock on the device and also provides a pretty darn fun office paper toss game. Here is part of the official overview:

  • When used as a lock application, the Office Hot Shot screen will display when any of the user configurable lock conditions are met. For example, you could configure it so the lock screen displays everytime the backlight times out, keeping prying eyes from seeing what's on your device.
  • Touchscreen users could set Office Hot Shot to launch when connecting on a phone call, keeping your device safe from accidental touches from your cheek during a call. Once activated, Office Hot Shot displays on your device, letting you see in a glance useful information, such as the day, date, time, unread emails, missed calls, battery level, and more!
  • Office Hot Shot comes bundled with a free game where you try to toss a ball of paper into the office trash can. You have to account for wind speed and direction to guide the ball into the can. Set the record and claim the title of Office Hot Shot!

Be sure to click through to the Office Hot Shots description page for the full details on this one. There are a lot of ways to configure the lock, and you can get an overview of all the info displayed. It's available for BlackBerry Smartphones with OS4.6 and higher (both non-touch and touchscreen) for $2.99.
