RIM has updated the operating system software to version 2.1 and packed some new features and functionality in to the already powerful OS. If you enjoy the multitasking, social integration and strong communications functionality in the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet, you’ll love what’s new:

1. Updated BlackBerry Bridge: Now you can view, respond and compose new SMS messages on their BlackBerry PlayBook Tablet when connected to a BlackBerry smartphone over Bluetooth®. You’ll also enjoy increased performance and speed of other BlackBerry Bridge functions as well. So you can do more, more efficiently. Txt away, my friends.
2. Email and PIM Enhancements: You’ve asked for it and we’ve delivered portrait support for email, calendar and contacts, giving you the option to use your tablet in either orientation to message. This will definitely come in handy for those of you who enjoy thumb typing in portrait mode like I do.
3. Improved Android Application Support: Includes Multi-Window Applications, Camera Support and In-App Payments. We all love a richer app experience, and with the improvements to the Android runtime, that’s just what you’ll get.

RIM shares gain 13% after quarterly results

Research In Motion shares gained almost 13 per cent on the Toronto Stock Exchange Friday, a day after the smartphone maker posted better than expected quarterly results.
Shares rose 89 cents to $7.85 on the TSX in late-morning trading. The Waterloo, Ont.,-based technology company said its quarterly loss was $235 million or 45 cents per diluted share compared with a profit of $329 million or 63 cents per share a year ago.
RIM's adjusted loss was $142 million or 27 cents per share. That was narrower than the 47 cents per share that analysts were expecting. The company's revenue, cash flow and subscriber base all increased.
Much of the optimism came from adjusted earnings per share, which filter out one-time costs like expenses related to job reductions and cost cuts.

How to protect your BlackBerry smartphone from malware

In order to help protect yourself from these types of security concerns, you should avoid downloading and installing applications from untrusted sources. This simple precaution helps mitigate the risk of malware being installed on your device because you don’t permit it to.

To further help protect customers, BlackBerry smartphones are designed to require user interaction and decision making to prevent malware from silently gaining access to devices. For example, when an application attempts to install itself on a BlackBerry smartphone, the device always asks the user if they want to download the application. In addition, if the user or a BlackBerry Enterprise Server administrator has configured the BlackBerry smartphone to require a device password when installing an application, the user will be prompted for their device password, before downloading and installing the application.
