First Alicia Keys, now Mercedes F1 is the latest partner for BlackBerry

BlackBerry has announced that it’s the Official Mobile Computing Partner for the MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team.

This follows the company’s announcement of its BlackBerry 10 platform last week and its appointment of singer/songwriter Alicia Keys in the new role of Global Creative Director. She’s now working with film director Robert Rodriguez and author Neil Gaiman on projects that are designed to be a creative collaboration between the three artists, the BlackBerry company and BlackBerry users.

BlackBerry’s role as Mobile Computing Partner will see it working with the Mercedes F1 team on technical and marketing opportunities. It’ll be using its BlackBerry 10 platform to deliver tools and services for the team, there’ll be smartphones for team members and BlackBerry will also be developing apps for fans.

Expect to see the BlackBerry brand on the new F1 W04 Silver Arrow car and on the race suits worn by drivers Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg.

Ross Brawn, Team Principal at the MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team, said “We are looking forward to embracing the new BlackBerry 10 platform at both a technical and operational level, as well as collaborating with the team at BlackBerry to bring new mobile innovation to MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS. It is especially pleasing to be able to launch this exciting partnership today as the latest Silver Arrow takes to the track with BlackBerry branding.”

Predictions for 2016: Network Function Virtualisation, 4G throttling and video calling

Mark Windle, head of marketing at OpenCloud, predicts that this year’s reduction in the number of traditional telecoms operators in some countries will provide an opportunity for other operators to innovate and capture market share in 2016.

He says next year will be a year of rapid change for telecoms… whether it’s MVNO disruption, competitive tariff pricing or simply defence from the ‘dark art’ of hacking.

Kapture review: the audio-recording wristband

A 'recording watch' that links to your smartphone

Mark Bridge writes:

The most memorable moments in life often go unrecorded. You don't have your camera in your hands. Your finger is still hovering over the 'pause' button on your audio recorder. Or you were simply too busy experiencing whatever was happening. It's all about the one that got away.

That's where Kapture can help.

Making mobile websites work better

Making mobile websites work better

Device detection and responsive design explained

Mark Bridge writes:

James Rosewell shows me a colourful roll of paper that's the width of an iPhone but well over three metres long. When I look closer, I can see it's a printed copy of the Wall Street Journal's mobile website. That's a lot of scrolling to do... and a pretty unfriendly user experience for anyone reading the news online. Why does it work so badly?
