I have two purposes in being here. The main reason is to help promote Retain for BlackBerry Enterprise Server. But while I've been here I had a chance to stop by the Weather Channel Booth and shoot an impromptu weather forecast.<br /><br />This is my report on Hurricane GWAVA off the coast of Las Vegas.<br /><br /><object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-97b0bb227e88513c" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="movie" value="http://www.blogger.com/img/videoplayer.swf?videoUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvp.video.google.com%2Fvideodownload%3Fversion%3D0%26secureurl%3DqgAAAOF-u9WtopylwZ9XHAqIS4QMS__7Q740bAc1mJ3OBdr2Q686RO7isgaADrFqz2iQdZpfgc_p607-WsZK1M80TOzBUOoYhHbFSsEbsDPrdCJT0dVSfgk10OplH1TKlqB2xOBNJc_hWQ0cD70gONo9ZN9NYqy71arUrTfMss-dKHODiXm8C1tHhmwBQMH3UiUUlA8ROXf8kJ-tF3MhY9kqa3EwjGJD0xrRrV6VOhXmwBhd%26sigh%3D_beDvkv5Ur-mO6lnk_8cqCAO3NE%26begin%3D0%26len%3D86400000%26docid%3D0&nogvlm=1&thumbnailUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.google.com%2FThumbnailServer2%3Fapp%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D97b0bb227e88513c%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw320%26sigh%3DDoZDY7UgCdHSHfdllXj9t1I8aPY&messagesUrl=video.google.com%2FFlashUiStrings.xlb%3Fframe%3Dflashstrings%26hl%3Den">

<br /><br />Tomorrow I will be pitching Retain for BlackBerry Enterprise server to AT&T for their Fast Pitch Competition.<br /><br />For those of you who don't know what Retain for BlackBerry is, here is a short video that describes it:<br /><br /><object height="355" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/lCalhmH2YP8&hl=en"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/lCalhmH2YP8&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="355" width="425"></embed></object><br /><br />In a nutshell, Retain for BlackBerry tracks SMS/Text/Phone Logs on your BlackBerry device, then makes that information available in a very easy to use interface that reports on all of the data that is passing through your BES from Texting, SMS, and Phone Logs.<br /><br />My goal tomorrow is to pitch AT&T on the importance of this technology for their own customers.<br /><br />If you get a chance be sure to vote for Retain for best of show by texting the code 543 to 868464. Like American Idol, GWAVA Retain for BlackBerry Enterprise Server has a chance of being voted best of show by all those text messages you are now sending in.Richard Blisshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06711443052326619281noreply@blogger.com
