 Send to email | RIM, MySpace Link Up For BlackBerry App, Promotion (RIMM, NWS) in RIMMNWS |  By Silicon
el 11-Sep-2008 |  This one's a no-brainer: News Corp.'s (NWS) MySpace will link up with Research In Motion (RIMM) to build a MySpace app for BlackBerry phones, and a BlackBerry promotional site on MySpace.
A win-win for both companies. Why?
- MySpace needs to keep up with rival Facebook, which already has a very successful app for BlackBerry phones. In June, RIM co-CEO Jim Balsillie said more than 1.5 million people had downloaded Facebook for BlackBerry. That number is much higher now.
- MySpace (and Facebook) must establish themselves as the dominant social networks on mobile phones before mobile-only social networks like Loopt have a chance to take off. This should help. (MySpace already boasts two million daily unique visitors to its mobile site.)
- Most of RIM's growth is coming from consumers, not enterprise customers, and one of their newest smartphones -- the cheap Pearl Flip -- is aimed squarely at the MySpace set. Anything they can do to get that new phone in front of MySpace users is golden.

| BlackBerry Bold is the BlackBerry 9000? | | We’ve got some intel that we’ve been sitting on that suggests the final name of the BlackBerry 9000 will turn out to be the BlackBerry Bold. This isn’t confirmed, and the domain, which was purchased from a shady-looking comnpany in Canada, currently has text link ads on it. Not a good sign. Let’s see if [...] [..] Read complete article | | Published 09-May-2008 by The Boy Genius in BG's CornerBlackBerryHandsetsExclusives

| Facebook for BlackBerry to be revamped in January |  Let’s face it — the Facebook for BlackBerry appication isn’t anything to write home about. Most everything it can do can be achieved through simple SMS commands, so it’s really nothing more than looking at an ugly face through some seriously strong beer goggles. When MySpace for BlackBerry was launched a lot of people were [...] [..] Read complete article | | Published 19-Nov-2008 by Michael Bettiol in BlackBerryFeaturesRIMRumorsfacebookpush
