We caught up with RIM's Director of Alliances, Tyler Lessard at WES 2008. On Tuesday Tyler was speaker at The Latest, the Greatest, the Coolest Applications for BlackBerry Smartphone. During 60mins he reviewed new and popular software solutions to check your flight status, know what weather's going to be, play a game online, do your banking, find the nearest restaurant or get immediate scores on your most cherished sports team and MUCH more -- all on your BlackBerry smartphone!
We featured two great solutions from this session that were not featured here before:

Great news! DataViz will be launching Documents To Go Premium Edition in June 2008. Anyone currently signed up on the announce list will be notified via e-mail the moment it is available. Not signed up? Do so here.

Wednesday stood to be a tiring day, especially after the late night partying at the RIM party. Still, we managed to get some GREAT video demos, had ANOTHER awesome WES 2008 contest/giveaway and managed to get ONE on ONE with THE Jim Balsillie.

Jim Balsillie, Co-CEO, RIM, Hosts the Wireless Leadership Awards
The audio for this recording is a bit poor. We had to leave shortly after the start of this General Session for an appointment so came in early and opted to stand close to the rear for quick exit in hopes that it would start on time. Unfortunately, it started a few mins late. It's AMAZING though how many people filled in during the last 5 mins. Including some loyal PinStackers who grabbed some shots of Jim after the session.
We did not have time to attend this session. However, infoworld has posted a great article detailing the highlights of the the next major BES update... 5.0

The actual WES event may have started on Tuesday, but for us PinStack addicts, we started getting the goods on Sunday, thanks to Hayden, Gina and JRockett! The obvious BUZZ around WES was the announcement of the Blackberry Bold 9000, but we are going to forget that for a minute (I know, its hard) and look at some of the AWESOME applications showcased at this year's WES.
Now THIS goes down in my book as the absolute coolest consumer application here at WES. It's called Unify4Life, and what it does is turn your BlackBerry into a universal remote.
Handling up to 16 products at once, this can truly replace your remote controls.
Some of the samples I just saw were:
Regular TV
DVD Player
Ipod
AppleTv
and more.
It also has the ability for you to read your TV Schedule directly on your BlackBerry, and search for shows or stations. If the program you want to watch isn't on until later, simply choose it, and your BlackBerry will remind you when the show is coming on!
However, the most impressive part of this, is the next version, which still... [Read More]
This morning we attended the session "The "Latest, the Greatest, the Coolest Applications for BlackBerry smartphones."
We wanted to share with you one app that has not been featured on PinStack before. 10 mins till the end of session so will let you know of anything else noteworthy.
We spotted Simon Sage of BlackBerryCool at Starbucks yesterday. Me being 6'3" tall its usually an awkward feeling to meet someone taller than you but Simon is a really cool guy. We took a few other photos from last night's WES 2008 Party, check out our WES Photo Gallery.
Dave Grannan, CEO, Vlingo - Demos new Beta software.
Yesterday we spoke with Vlingo at booth # 758 and they arranged for us to speak with CEO Dave Grannan. Dave gave a brief demo of Vlingo-powered Yahoo! OneSearch and also a preview of their next Beta application.
I've tested this myself and must say it works seamlessly! Even for a guy with a Caribbean accent - me. Download Yahoo! OneSearch and also apply for the new Vlingo beta program which starts in a few weeks.
