Video Shrinker Makes Your Videos Easier to Share on BlackBerry 10
I was really hoping BlackBerry would bake this into the OS but for now we have Video Shrinker. Right now your BlackBerry 10 device takes video up to 1080p which leaves you with some huge videos. If you want to share them over BBM you are limited to 6MB which is like 1-2 seconds of…
BES 10 Cloud (aka Unite) Going into Market Preview Tomorrow
It seems like BlackBerry has decided on a different type of strategy for their BES 10 Cloud service when it launches tomorrow.

BlackBerry Explains How BBM for Android & iOS Works Over SIP
The network architecture behind BBM, especially with the addition of video and voice, has been sort of a black box. We learned a bit about it when corporate admins had to open up the firewall for voice and video calls. Now with Android and iOS support we learn that the BBM connection works over SIP…
BES 10 Cloud is Being Renamed to BlackBerry Unite – Gold Candidate in Testing
