BlackBerry Blend is Like iOS Continuity with Cross-Platform Support

BlackBerry is trying its best to get back to where they once belonged – amongst the top premium smartphone vendors. Along with BlackBerry Passport, the company has announced a new feature on BB 10 OS called BlackBerry Blend. This brings the much needed cross-platform productivity and utilities to the OS.

With BlackBerry Blend, users will be able to sync content (including BlackBerry messages) from their BlackBerry handset to the larger screen of a tablet or a PC. So the idea is similar to what Apple announced with Continuity feature for iOS 8. You can keep track of everything happening on your BlackBerry without needing to take it out when you’re at your desk.
The corresponding (client) apps will be available for Windows, Mac, Android tablets and iPads. Although the app is pre-loaded on the newly announced BlackBerry Passport and P9883 phones, BlackBerry has made it clear that Blend will come to other BB 10 smartphones currently in the market, with the upcoming BB 10.3.1 OS update.
John Chen, the CEO of BlackBerry had this to say about Blend.

Whether you need to access important work files on the road or respond to text and email messages on your tablet while commuting to work, BlackBerry Blend ensures all of your important information is safely accessible, regardless of the device you are using.

Blend brings all your BBM and text messages from your BlackBerry smartphone to an integrated messaging hub now available on your computer and tablet. You can also save files from your computer to your BlackBerry smartphone so they are accessible on any device connected to BlackBerry Blend.
If you are on BES10 you can securely access your company intranet and other corporate resources through your Work Browser like corporate email or view and edit address book. The system will be accessible via browser and can be controlled as well.

The Right Way to Clean Your Keyboard, Tablet and Smartphone

W e recently came across the list of the top most dirty objects in an average household, and surprisingly, it’s not the toilet seat. Some of the items that were ranked at the top of that list have definitely made us think twice before making a call or looking up updates on Facebook. The keyboard on which you typed to get to this page, or the touchscreen that you swipe on are some of the most bacteria-rich items in your household, so keeping these squeaky clean should be a top priority. While there are lots of methods and products for cleaning these items, most of us ignore this. How similar do you find this scenario: Your smartphone’s screen is really dirty, so you rub it on your shirt, or a piece of cloth that’s close by, or you remember that it’s been some time since you’ve cleaned your keyboard, so you turn it upside down and give it a few slaps. Most of us use this (or a very similar) technique and think “Now it’s clean!”, but the truth of the matter is that it’s j...
