I watched a couple of previews and Youtube videos for ¡Q'Viva! The Chosen, and was really pleased to see how much screen time the BlackBerry PlayBook seems to have in the show! They use it for everything, from watching videos of potential candidates, to recording video, and playing it back via HDMI to flat screen TV. What a perfect device to take on such a journey, since they can use the BlackBerry Bridge for internet access while on the road and in villages without modern technology.
You can find out more details about the show as well as how to submit your own videos for consideration and watch more behind-the-scenes footage of the show at the link below, and check out the show's official trailer after the break. The show premiered January 28th on Univision. Thanks for sending this in Chango_BB!!

BlackBerry presents ¡Q'Viva! The Chosen starring Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony, and Jamie King
Anything that gets Playbook out there is fine by me. I hope it does well.
Team Blackberry 4 Life.
I would watch this show for the BlackBerry sightings...and scenery...I don't have the channel, maybe the website will play episodes
yea same here...
There is an Official YouTube Channel with full episodes at http://www.youtube.com/qviva
This is good! It seems like blackberry is listening and trying to put more advertising out there... I noticed this also in the NHL allstar game that RIM had Blackberry plastered everywhere!
the negative press media can stick it where the sun dont shine
So where are the executives checking email using bridge? :)
Really, the youtube clip is pretty stunning (along with JL). This new exposure certainly takes RIM, uh, BlackBerry...out of the old corporate suite.
Lots to like. I'm not a fan of the "reality shows" but I am sure there will be a big audience for this, given the topline hosts. This must be the kind of marketing Thor was talking about.
Hope there is a version in English, not clear from the promo.
PlayBook is for doers...and dancers?
"This must be the kind of marketing Thor was talking about."
Sounds about right, we have yet to see Thor in action though. This video and marketing is still attributed to the 2 previous RIM CEO's. You remember when this video (or a very similar one) was posted on here (CB) about a month ago? All in all, it seems as if the two previous CEO's left Thor with a good stepping stone to capitalize on.
The videos on their YouTube page (www.youtube.com/qviva) are mainly in English and the bits in Spanish are subtitled.
Very Kool.
As far as sightings go, I watched Man on a Ledge this weekend and all the main characters were sporting BlackBerrys. Yay!
Contraband too
i've been watching suits and they all have blackberries wish californication and dexter would start making use of it
Yep... it started this weekend here in Colombia on the Caracol channel!
luv that playbook thang. I'm soo glad Rim is strengening its global ties, as it should be.
love that girl( tv show), everyone uses blackberry devices
Playbook 2.0 is going to be so awesome! ... coupled with cool marketing .. its finally going to take off ... many will see what an awesome tablet it is!
Now we're marketting good start.
AWESOME!!!!! Thats what they need to be doing! I hope the new CMO has more ideas like this up their sleeve. If so, I believe we could be on our way my fellow BB fans!
Blackberry is also prominent on the Q'Viva Youtube Channel (www.youtube.com/qviva).
Good for Blackberry advertising on shows! :)
On a unrelated-to-blackberry note, anyone else think its interesting that Jennifer Lopez and her ex-husband Marc Anthony are on the same show? So much for divorce!

We have been waiting to hear an official date for OS 2.0 a really long time from BlackBerry or a RIM employee. Ever since the first whispers of a date were published, it's all been speculation. Today though we got some official RIM confirmation. At the Developing Native Games with the BlackBerry NDK 2.0 Webcast today, Angel Aldana, RIM Manager (Latin America Alliances), confirmed the official date of PlayBook's OS 2.0 launch to be... Tuesday, February 21st! Barring any setbacks, we will have a shiny new OS on our PlayBooks in about 5 days! This is awesome.
