TAT show off some BlackBerry PlayBook funkiness

The-astonishing-tribe1

TAT (The Astonishing Tribe) have been showing off what they do best at MWC this week. The Swedish UI design company were purchased by Research in Motion a while ago and at MWC they have been demonstrating why.

In the following video you can see several BlackBerry Playbook’s integrating with one another in a way I have not seen with any device before. It is truly remarkable.

Whether you are a BlackBerry fan or not you have to see this. It is the cleverest thing I have seen in a long time. I can certainly see why RIM made the acquisition.

You can see the video below:

QNX powered Porsche 911 at Mobile World Congress 2012

 

porscheqnx_1 If you missed seeing the QNX powered Porsche 911 at CES last month we now have another opportunity as the car is being showcased at MWC.

The Porsche supports NFC so one touch from the BlackBerry Smartphone will tell the car you are in it and then activate the car options. With the BlackBerry PlayBook mounted on the dashboard you will see that the PlayBook can control media in the car, phone calls and voice recognition for satellite navigation.

If you have not seen the QNX powered Porsche before I suggest you take a peek at the below video as it just goes to show us the power of the operating system and how well it can be integrated into cars.

Now I wonder if RIM will send me one to review?

BlackBerry demo social sharing with NFC

BB Logo

NFC is one of those features that more and more smartphones are coming with. However, at this moment in time it is not a feature that we can use in everyday life.

At the BlackBerry stand at Mobile World Congress RIM have set up some ‘Like Stations’ which enable visitors with NFC enabled phones to share information via Facebook or Twitter.

This goes to show how easy and quick using NFC can be and it is only a matter of time until we see NFC smart tags appearing more frequently.

You can see a brief demo below courtesy of RIM.

Skype launches beta app for Windows Phone – Video

Screen Shot 2012-02-27 at 11.04.43

With this mornings announcement by Nokia that the Lumia 900 will grace our shores here in Europe one of the key apps that this device will benefit from is Skype due to the Lumia 900 having a front facing camera.

Skype have today released a beta version of their app for Windows Phone which is available to download from the Marketplace. With it still being in beta I found the UI to be a bit bland in comparison with Android and iOS but I am sure this will be addressed in the full version.

Skype calling and instant messaging works just fine. I tested it myself, although not being able to use video chat due to lack of front facing camera on my hardware.

You can see a demo of the Skype app in action below:

Remote Control on the BlackBerry PlayBook – Video

Screen Shot 2012-02-21 at 11.09.35

One of the many new features in OS 2.0 for the BlackBerry PlayBook is the ability to control the PlayBook from your BlackBerry smartphone. The feature is part of the latest version of the Bridge app that got an update last night.

While it may not be a feature that is used every day I can see two big benefits with it. Clearly for business presentations it will allow the user to control the PlayBook remotely therefore letting he/she free to move around the room.

Secondly, and where I will use it is just plugging the PlayBook into the TV via HDMI. I can now sit back on the sofa and have full PlayBook control without having to worry about a long cable.

You can see a quick demo of the app in action below.

ZTE Tania Unboxing Video

ZTE Tanis

The Tania is ZTE’s first offering to the Windows Phone table. Packing 7.5 Mango and with a 4.3 inch screen you would have thought that the Tania comes with a hefty price tag. Well you would be wrong. Here in the UK the ZTE Tania is priced at just under £200 which is amazing value for money.

For that money you still get a big, robust, well powered Smartphone. Where I do feel the Tania is let down is with its mere 4GB of internal storage. This is measly in this day and age. Combined with the disadvantage of not having a microSD this kinda sucks.

But remember, the ZTE Tania is half the price of some other high end Windows Phones.

You can see the unboxing video below and we will of course have a full review within the next couple of weeks.
