Pls help – I downloaded this on my last bb, backed it up and restored it on my new bb and now the icon is blacked out, it does not update and I can’t figure out how to remove it and download another one.

It’s not listed in my Applications, does not give me an option to delete, and I don’t think it’s listed in service books.

Pls help!

I have subcribed to this, it saves you going on to your browser or checking your RSS feeds in another app that you would have to access anyway?

One gripe, I have read the latest article, so the icon is blacked out, but there is still a “Alert” on the icon, how do I get to go away/ out of focus?

Were can we find more of these websignals?

Love it, I don’t have to check over and over to look for a new posting.
Just can’t get over the lack of continuity with all we know about BlackBerry and new notifications. Why keep the * when there’s not a new posting?

I am getting the updated icon, but it would be really helpful if it also put a notification icon in the banner like when you get new email, etc. I don’t have room on my home screen to keep the BR icon there so I only see there is something new when I go into the download folder. And maybe a way to say how many new since last opened.

This is good first step Ronen,but I really didn’t need an extra icon for updates. I hope you can work with RIM and having the update pushed to the berryreview launcher instead. That would be sweety!

I signed up for it, decent widget. It took about 2 hours to get it onto my Tour but that was alright.

The only thing that I noticed is that this doesn’t show up on the “Applications” in the Options section. How can you get rid of it if you wanted to now?

Did you guys get the articles that were published later in the day? I am curious to see how well it works. Our original test had a much smaller group. I guess we will see monday!

That is standard on all 3G BB since the Bold, 3G means it found 3G. 3G + BB symbol means 3G and connected to all RIM services. ie: Voice, data indicating the ability to use both at the same time basically.

Looks great Ronen, I was hoping somebody would take advantage of this technology.

Me thinks WebSignals should be a nice-looking RSS client App – think CBS News client on the iPhone. Each channel is then an RSS subscription and RIM’s/BIS infrastructure pushes the notification to the client when there is new info on the channel. Which then pulls the data on demand.

Each WebSignal would have some branding/skinning so they look different, but I think that this approach would cover most uses.

Going through the browser seems particularly ill-suited to the strengths of the (current) BBOSes.
