Wireless file transfer coming to the BlackBerry?
That’s certainly what one analyst seems to think. According to the Globe and Mail, RIM is working on a bit of software that should allow BlackBerry users to wireless transfer files from their home computers to thei handheld devices. Media files, data, documents, and more are all fair game. The exciting part? The software actually accesses RIM’s backend architecture, providing a direct connection between your computer and your phone, sans any sort of cable or Bluetooth, a la RIM’s BES server. Pretty dope, right? It seems that RIM is, once again, targeting the media junkies here in an attempt to cool-ify their phones. Again, this is just a rumor, so we have no further info on drop date, pricing, or anything of that nature, but rest assured that we’ll fill you in as things become a bit more clear. Now if RIM could only speed up the EDGE limitation on most of our BlackBerrys…
not THAT cool, considering Seven, the company that takes care of ATT/Cingular Xpressmail and Sprints version thereof, figured that out years ago. Come on Blackberry get with the times.
Seven’s product doesn’t do media I’m pretty sure.
RIM still pretty behind on most things. Thats the trouble with all the Security they put on things.
How are blackberry’s EDGE speeds limited? Ive never hear this…
Golly.. and all I really wanted was OBEX.
“…the EDGE limitation…” means that a majority of blackberry users (those on GSM) have no option faster then EDGE.
Man, I love ORB I STILL can’t believe it’s free.
Has anything happened in the realm of FTP for Crackberries yet? All this a year ago? Hello…
There is a piece of software available called “Wifi File Transfer for Blackberry” that does this kin of thing. Got it from mobihand.com
