Got a PowerPoint® presentation coming up? Imagine having the ability to leave your laptop at home, and delivering the entire thing from your BlackBerry. That will soon be a reality.
Sometime this year, Research In Motion will deliver its BlackBerry Presenter, which will allow you to do just that…present…wirelessly. Plug it in to a monitor or projector, and slides come out of the magic box. It will also offer a variety of features including a loop mode and a freeze mode. What would be even better is the ability to ‘present’ a slideshow of photos or videos, which it does not currently do. Looks like it’s only PowerPoint® slides for now. According to shopblackberry.com, it will cost $199.99 when it is released (go there to sign up for updates on availability).
Compatibility includes most BlackBerry smartphones with at least v4.6 of the OS to include the BlackBerry® Curve™ 8520, 8530 and 8900; BlackBerry® Bold™ 9000 and 9700; BlackBerry® Storm™ 9500, 9530 and 9550 (Storm2); and BlackBerry® Tour™ 9630.
It’s no pico projector, but it’ll do.

During my regular evening visit to Pandora, I discovered that Pandora Radio is now available for the BlackBerry.
Pandora Radio is your own FREE personalized radio now available to stream music on your BlackBerry. Just start with the name of your favorite artists, songs or classical composers and Pandora will create a “station” that plays their music and more music like it.

The Pandora Radio application is available for the following BlackBerry smartphones (and services): Bold (AT&T), Curve 8310 (AT&T), Curve 8320 (AT&T), Curve 8330 (Verizon), Pearl 8100 (AT&T), Pearl 8120 (AT&T), Pearl 8130 (Sprint & Verizon).
If you already have a Pandora account like I do, just choose the log in option. Your channels will be available through the Pandora Radio app, and you can create new channels from your BlackBerry.
Just visit pandora.com from your BlackBerry browser to download this app. Like most apps with streaming capabilities, you probably want to be sure you have an unlimited data plan.
The Others. There are already a couple of other streaming music apps available for the BlackBerry including nuTsie and Slacker. I haven’t tried either mainly because I’m used to Pandora. But both are free to download…and, of course, you should probably have an unlimited data plan.
