ShoutBloger: Co-CEO of Research In Motion (RIM) Jim Balsillie introducing new ways for BlackBerry smartphone users to connect to one another and share multimedia content.
Smart tag BlackBerry, RIM so call it, will converge at the latest BlackBerry OS 7 update. This function allows user to share information such as phone numbers, documents, URLs, images and other multimedia content by simply tapping or touching their BlackBerry.
Reported by Cellular-news on Monday October 10, 2011, BlackBerry smart tag function also allows users to directly add a new friend as a contact in BlackBerry Messenger.
BlackBerry tag is an innovative and exciting feature that makes sharing contact information and multimedia content easy and not complicated, said Balsillie.
He said BlackBerry tag opens a new dimension to the powerful BlackBerry platform, simple and intuitive. He is optimistic that this feature will be welcomed by users and developers as well.
Smart tag BlackBerry utilizes technology called Near Field Communications (NFC), which is already embedded in the 9900/9930 or the BlackBerry Bold and BlackBerry Curve 9350/9360/9370 Dakota. And this is the first BlackBerry smartphone to support BlackBerry tag.
RIM also plans to open the BlackBerry tag through the API on the BlackBerry platform, enabling software developers take advantage of functionality 'tap to share' in the applications they create.
