Wireless Transfers Targetted by RIM..a follow up report...

[Bla1ze]

Anyone remeber the reports of RIM looking into the possibilities of wireless transfer in short terms creating a Mini BES allowing you to transfer music ,pictures etc from your home computer right to your blackberry....no, well may this server as a reminder..well ..it seems as though those rumors have popped up again as being reported by the friendly folks over @ BBCool
If this pans out, i'm hoping maybe robbers..er..I mean Rogers will be forced to do SOMETHING with those crummy data plans they have now.

I just had a great talk with Karl from BrokeIt, and man, has he got some dirt. Contained in some docs for the new Desktop Media Manager:

“Sharing pictures across the internet - The Media LiveShare feature allows you to use the Internet to share pictures with others outside of your home network. Your friends can view and download your pictures on their computers, Internet enabled phones, or Blackberry smartphones. Choose the album you want to share and then invite your friends to view it. Your friends receive an e-mail message with small thumbnail-sized pictures of a few of the shared files, plus a link to a LiveShare folder on your computer. When they click the link, they view a web page containing thumbnails of all the shared files. They can view the pictures or download them to their computers or Blackberry smartphones.”

Reminiscent of the .Mac Web Gallery, eh? Some of the other new juicy features which Karl and I talk about in the BlackBerryCool Podcast Episode 7, airing this Monday, confirm earlier reports regarding RIM’s plans for wireless multimedia and file transfer. Stay tuned!
