It has only been two months since our last issue, but we have much to report!
RIM's Wireless Enterprise Symposium (WES), the biggest BlackBerry® conference of the year, was a big success for us - and we also launched Version 5.0 of Mobile chalkboard™, our mobile communication software for BlackBerry that enables media-rich and tracked 'pushcasts'.
Read on for the latest highlights (including 2 WES awards!), new pushcast tips & tricks from our mobile content experts and a fresh off the press white paper on how Mobile  chalkboard™ can help with just-in-time IT training & performance support.
Enjoy, and please send us your feedback.
Best,

TIP: Keeping enterprise mobile data charges in check
Mobile chalkboard™ makes this easy. For starters, it converts your graphical and multimedia content to mobile-friendly formats to keep file sizes down while maintaining the quality of the presentation. In addition, Mobile chalkboard™ only delivers content to devices that are capable of handling it, so you don't waste precious bandwidth delivering videos to devices that don’t support them. Also, new to Version 5.0, there are bandwidth management policies that allow you to limit how much content is delivered to users on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. These features allow you to make the most of your mobile data bandwidth while keeping your enterprise in tune with critical content deliveries.
TRICK:
Save time converting video to mobile-appropriate formats
With Version 5.0 of Mobile chalkboard™, not only is this easy – it is seamless. Video that has been added to your mobile content is automatically converted when it is pushed out through Mobile chalkboard™. The PowerPoint Add-in converts Windows Media, QuickTime, Flash Video, AVI and MPEG-4 video formats to the optimized 3GP format. Sending reliable, video-rich content to a BlackBerry has never been more straightforward.
Since our last communication in March we have released several new and exciting features, the key ones being:
- Host of functionality that gives power to the IT administrator, ex:
- Compression options
- Bandwidth usage controls
- Substantial authoring enhancements, ex:
- Automatic video converting
- Tests and surveys from within PowerPoint
- Lead generation capabilities
- Enrichment of reporting functionality
