Bluetooth Message Access Profile (MAP) Coming in OS 5.0? – BerryReview – Mobile Edition
I happened to be setting up a new Bluetooth headset on my pre-release BlackBerry Curve 9300 and noticed a new menu option in the Bluetooth settings. The new options are based on a new Bluetooth Profile that RIM is enabling soon to allow other Bluetooth devices to read and send email and SMS. For example, Ford is working with RIM to implement MAP Bluetooth support for BlackBerrys to allow their MyFord Touch equipped vehicles to read text messages out loud.

OS5には今後Bluetooth MAPというプロファイルが搭載されるかもしれないというニュースです。
MAPとはデバイスのメッセージデータを検索して転送できるプロファイルのようです。
東芝のカーナビなどに搭載されています。

MAPについて、少し調べてみた結果をフォーラムに記載しました。

BlackBerry 6 teased again in new official video — Engadget
 
There have been rumors that the first volley of BlackBerry 6-powered devices could launch as early as last month — but seeing how we’re still empty-handed, we may as well enjoy more high production value video pimping the biggest new features, right? RIM has published another official YouTube spot on BlackBerry 6 today showing off goodies likes aggregated social network integration, universal search, and — of course — the all-new WebKit-based browser coming out of last year’s purchase of Torch Mobile. Interestingly, this latest video continues RIM’s trend of showing 6 running only on full touchscreen phones; we can’t fathom that they’d abandon the form factor that made them famous, of course, but it’s becoming more and more obvious by the day that we’re going to see this launch on the rumored 9800 or something very similar to it. Follow the break for the full video.

BlackBerryOSの6のデモビデオが公開されているようです。
画面タッチでつるつる動くような感じです。
今後どういう方向に進化していくのか楽しみでもありますが、他と同じになってしまうのではと心配でもあります。
 

Introducing BlackBerry Protect | Inside BlackBerry
 
I’m very excited today to tell you about a new security application from Research In Motion® (RIM), BlackBerry® Protect. To help get a better understanding of the product, I spoke with Michael Accettura, Product Manager for BlackBerry Protect.

What are the key features of BlackBerry Protect?

BlackBerry Protect allows you the ability to wirelessly backup, restore and locate your BlackBerry® smartphone. In the event that your BlackBerry smartphone is misplaced, lost or stolen, BlackBerry Protect provides features like: remote device wipe, remote device lock, ‘Lost and Found’ screen, locate device on a map, remote activation of the BlackBerry smartphone loud ringer, and wireless device backup and restore.
 

BlackBerryProtectというサービスがリリースされるようですね。
BlackBerryを無くした時にGPSから場所を探したり、大きな音で呼び出したりロックしたり初期化したりというようなことが出来るみたいです。
セキュリティという面をどんどん強く押し出していくBlackBerryらしいサービスだと言えます。
