Splashtop Releases Splashtop Pro – Enterprise App for the BlackBerry PlayBook

With Splashtop Pro, IT can mobilize a workforce with BlackBerry PlayBook tablets in thirty minutes

May 10, 2012 – San Jose, CA – Splashtop Inc., the worldwide leader in cross-device computing, today announced the release of Splashtop Pro with support for BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablets.  Splashtop Pro is designed for corporate IT, service providers and system integrators to enable a mobile workforce with tablets. Splashtop Pro is a much-anticipated app for the enterprise IT community deploying BlackBerry PlayBook tablets, and follows on the success of Splashtop Remote Desktop HD, a top-selling app for the PlayBook.

With Splashtop Pro, IT can securely manage and monitor devices through an easy-to-use cloud-based web console.  Now IT can deploy and set policies that enable a mobile workforce to leverage personal, private, and public clouds, whether they are running on a physical or virtual machine.

"RIM is focused on winning the enterprise, and Splashtop Pro is the perfect app to support the PlayBook’s success there," said Mark Lee, Splashtop CEO and co-founder. "Employees can go anywhere with their PlayBooks and have secure remote access to all their applications and files on their computers."

"Splashtop has developed some of the leading applications for the BlackBerry PlayBook, including one of the more popular business applications in App World today. We are excited that Splashtop is bringing Splashtop Pro to the PlayBook," said Martyn Mallick, VP of Global Alliances and Business Development.  "Splashtop Pro and Blackberry PlayBook are a winning combination to bring remote desktop control to the enterprise."

Using Splashtop Pro, an IT administrator can:

* Easily deploy tablets in an organization without infrastructure changes
* Enable secure access to applications, files and content on corporate computers from a mobile device
* Centrally manage the connectivity of mobile devices and computers via a simple web-based Admin Console
* Manage user permissions
* Group computers for shared access
* Manage connections based on policies such as connection type and time
* Monitor connection history
* Manage updates

With Splashtop Pro, employees can be mobile and more productive by using a tablet to share a company’s hardware and software resources.

Important work files and office applications, such as Outlook, PowerPoint, Excel and Word, are easily accessed, as well as videos, music, and photos for presentations.

Splashtop Pro is suitable for use in a variety of business scenarios; for example:

* Field sales reps needing access to their company’s internal CRM system or other pricing and inventory information
* Real estate agents wanting to adjust their schedules without going back to the office
* Telecommuters working from home who want to remote in to the office computer over VPN

My latest way to pass the time on my BlackBerry smartphone has been to play Juminja from XIMAD. In true XIMAD fashion they combine Ninjas with Pandas and throw in things like canons. You have to shoot a canon filled with ninjas with three of the same color leading them to explode and clear the screen as they keep filling it up.

Check out Juminja for $1.99 in App World and let me know how you like it!

Photo Booth Pro turns your BlackBerry smartphone into a photo booth that you can stick in your pocket! The Photo Booth, you can find them at almost every mall and they’re used for almost any occasion. You may have seen people acting like absolute goofs in the booth (you’ve done it too, admit it). Others may use them to take more memorable, or serious, shots like for headshots or forms of ID. To be honest, I’m not sure what type of use makes me laugh more. They’re all entertaining, although slightly inconvenient due to location limitations. Now before you go out and start pricing a photo booth for your house, I should point you in the direction of a BlackBerry smartphone app called Photo Booth Pro.

With this app, you can take four consecutive pictures and then choose to apply up to 8 different effects to them. Alternatively, you can also select from some of your finest shots already stored in your internal or external memory. Hey, if you can connect to a Bluetooth printer, you can set up shop, as a portable photo booth, anywhere! Let’s see if Photo Booth Pro can keep up with your potentially lucrative summer job.

A lot of BlackBerry developers who travelled to Orlando to attend BlackBerry 10 Jam were left feeling excited for the future of BlackBerry development after the event. Alec Saunders gave the keynote speech for BlackBerry 10 Jam but recording was not allowed within the auditorium. However, RIM themselves filmed the keynote but have only previously released snippets of it.

If you've been wanting and waiting for the whole keynote to be released, you'll be happy to know that it is now available to watch in it's entirety. I have just watched it and it definitely gets my pumped up for the upcoming BlackBerry 10 Jam World Tour.
