The first feature I read of there was RIM would now be striking a deal with TiVo to allow remote scheduling. Below you can read the excerpt from the CNET article.

Blackberry users will now be able to schedule their TiVo recordings from their phone, and in the future, view those recordings from a Blackberry. (Possibly stealing SlingPlayer for Blackberry’s thunder? Sling, by the way, said today SlingPlayer for Blackberry is on track for release later this year.

Currently with your TiVo you can remote schedule on TiVo’s websites among other TV Listing websites such as Yahoo TV. The disappointing part about this process is it may take up to 24 hours, when your box receives the next update. What I have heard is as long as you have it connected to your network it will happen almost instantly by the TiVo service contacting your box.

Later I also found out some more exciting news for me as a Blackberry user that had been released earlier in the week. Microsoft Live search is going to be built into the next Blackberry browser. I have yet to decide if this is a good thing or not. On one hand it will be easier to make searches from my Blackberry, but on the other hand I really would prefer Google search.

Another feature coming according to this CNET article, RIM will be enhancing their Blackberry’s with a few other features including Myspace Mobile along with the already includedFacebook Mobile and the partnership with Slacker internet radio to offer custom radio stations along with an allowance of 1,000 songs to be stored on the deceive.

To conclude, I am personally extremely excited about the remote scheduling of my Tivo and the Radio stations which will provide some extra entertainment. I also can’t wait for more exciting things to come to make the Blackberry less of a Business Phone and more of a mix like the iPhone.

Another site; NatnAlex had live chats w/o video back to back. Both days their servers couldn’t handle the load which ticked me off to no end. Now this site should know better as well as Twitter perhaps they need to learn some server tips from Facebook and Google and dare I say Microsoft.
