<description><![CDATA[BlackBerry Balance is ready for the corporate world.(Credit:Research In Motion)The idea that a BlackBerry is for work and aniPhone or Android-based device is for play is an idea that Research In Motion wants to take on.The company today announced a new technology called BlackBerry Balance that it says allows users to engage in both personal and work-related activities without compromising the safety of corporate information. For example, IT managers could create policies that will disable the ability for work information to be copied to e-mail accounts or Twitter, as well as lock down corporate data or files, so they cannot be used on personal applications. When an employee leaves the company, IT staff can remotely wipe corporate data from the device without affecting the user's personal information.According to RIM, employees won't know that they can't perform certain activities while using the smartphone. However, if they attempt to perform an unauthorized activity, the device will display a notification informing them of their inability to do so.RIM's BlackBerry Balance is as much about making its smartphones more accessible for personal purposes as it is about security. But it's not the only thing RIM is doing to ensure better security with its mobile devices.The company also announced today that it's planning to launch a new BlackBerry Enterprise Solution option for both smartphones andtablets. The service will deliver a &quot;single Web-based console&quot; for IT administrators to manage devices remotely. The service will allow them to distribute software, lock devices, enforce or reset passwords, and much more.What's perhaps most interesting about the service is that it won't be limited to BlackBerry smartphones or the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet. According to RIM, BlackBerry Enterprise Solution will also be available to Android- and iOS-based handsets and tablets, thanks to the company's pending acquisition of device-management service provider Ubitexx, which it announced today. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.RIM didn't say when it plans to launch its new BlackBerry Enterprise Solution. BlackBerry Balance, on the other hand, is available to the company's smartphones running BlackBerry 6. The service is available via BlackBerry Enterprise Server and BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Shifting to the hot mobile market, social game platform firm Heyzap is launching a &amp;''check in&amp;'' network for Android games.With the network, users can check into the system and tell their friends what games they are playing at any given moment, said Jude Gomila, co-founder of San Francisco-based Heyzap.The announcement shows that the check-in craze is moving from location games to standard mobile games, and it shows once again that a company can innovate by adding a social layer on top of an existing platform.&amp;''The next time you play Angry Birds, you can check in and find out what games your friends are playing or what they have played lately,&amp;'' Gomila said.That helps friends start a conversation about games, making the games more social. It also helps friends discover new games from people they know and trust, much like they do on Facebook, Gomila said, by viewing the news feed section of the user interface.Heyzap has been running an alpha test on the new, free Android app, and it has already hit 250,000 check-ins on 3,000 different Android games. An iPhone app is coming soon.The app is the first move into the mobile space for Heyzap, which started as a platform for playing and monetizing Flash games on the web. On the web, Heyzap has more than 1.6 million users for its social gaming platform. Now it will make it easy for those users to go mobile.Once a user checks in, he or she can share information with friends on Facebook, Twiter and Heyzap&amp;'s own network. Right now, Heyzap wants the technology to spread fast and so isn&amp;'t monetizing the app. The company&amp;'s core business is monetizing just fine and allows Heyzap to experiment and invest in new platforms in pursuit of a larger user base, Gomila said. Once it has the user base, it will figure out how to monetize.Heyzap&amp;'s check-in app makes it easier for apps to go viral, or to spread much faster than they otherwise might. It also allows users to establish a community on mobile phone networks. They can check in and look up the latest tips from users playing the same game, for instance. They can also make comments or win badges via social actions.Heyzap&amp;'s software developer kit has been integrated into 20 of the biggest games on Android, including the top five game Bubble Buster, X Construction, Wheelz, Slot Machine and Plumber. It takes about five minutes for a developer to integrate the Heyzap technology into a game.Heyzap has 17 employees and has raised $3 million from investors including Union Square Ventures. Gomila and Immad Akhund founded the company in September, 2008. Right now, there are no competing apps that show which game you&amp;'re playing. But potential rivals include start-ups such as Scoreloop, OpenFeint and DeNA&amp;'s Ngmoco.Calling all mobile executives: This April 25-26, VentureBeat is hosting its inaugural VentureBeat Mobile Summit,  where we&amp;'ll debate the five key business and policy challenges facing  the mobile industry today. Participants will develop concrete,  actionable solutions that will shape the future of the mobile industry.  The invitation-only event, located at the scenic and relaxing Cavallo Point Resort in Sausalito, Calif., is limited to the top 180 mobile executives, investors and policymakers.
