BlackBerry’s BBM chat coming to Android, iPhone this weekend
12:43 PM
Unknown
(Reuters) — BlackBerry Ltd said on Wednesday that its popular BlackBerry Messenger instant chat application will be available for rival devices using Google Inc’s Android software and for Apple’s iPhone this weekend.
The struggling Canadian smartphone maker had announced plans to open up the service, often referred to as BBM by both fans and the company, back in May.
Once a unique tool to send short messages without running up SMS charges, BBM now competes with mobile instant messaging products from Facebook, Apple and others, and less directly with the micro-blogging service Twitter.
Android users will be able to download the application on Saturday, while iPhone users can get it on Sunday.

This may have a few glitches most of the glitches,crashes have been fixed and this is like the final version. Just to let you know if you do upgrade to the ios you can get back to ios 6.1.3 just be booting into DFU mode and restore to ios 6.1.3.If your trying to sync over content from pc to ipod you need iTunes 11.1/beta which at this point it’s only available for Mac.Just hold Shift,restore/update and then select the .ipsw and install.If you don’t like ios 7 GM you can downgrade it only to ios 6.1.3 not ios 7 beta 1-6. at the moment but, if you want to upgrade to ios 7 from ios 6.1.3 you can.I’ll Post the official release once it comes out.This ios 7 GM was only for developers and shouldn’t be able to install onto ios devices without a dev account but, the bug allowed it to be installed.Other info:You should just wait for the final release next week it’s sorta pointless to update to ios 7 GM if you can’t sync over content via iTunes if you all ready have everything you want on your ipod you can.Once ios 7 is released this downgrade will no longer work and you can never downgrade past ios 7 the reason you can downgrade now is because, ios 7 GM isn’t signed yet, but when the official iOS 7 is released it will be signed which you can’t no longer downgrade.I tested out iOS 7 GM today it was good but, i couldn’t sync over my music without iTunes 11.1 which isn’t out for PC so, i recovered to iOS 6.1.3 and i can always upgrade to iOS 7 beta and sync over my content.Bugs i found:-Voice Search in youtube still crashes-iTunes Store still crashesNew Features for iOS 7 GM:-New Wallpapers -New Dynamic theme colors-New Siri Sounds-fixed bugs and glitchesIn conclusion iOS 7 beta 6 is no different from iOS 7 GM just with a couple of new enhancements and themes.According to apple if you upgrade to iOS 7 GM seed you can’t restore to earlier versions of iOS such as ios 6.1.3 .

Установка VK App в Apple ID через iTunes
Если мы попробуем установить на iPhone 4 программу Вконтакте, то у нас ничего не выйдет, мы получим ошибку Для данного контента (приложение) требуется iOS 8.0 и новее с предложением обновить аппарат до iOS 8.0
Но если мы перейдём по пути Настройки — Основные — Обновление ПО, то увидим, что у нас установлено «новейшее» ПО, а именно iOS 7.1.2, являющаяся последней для iPhone 4
Значит, придётся искать обходные пути.
На компьютер скачиваем с официального сайта Apple программу iTunes и устанавливаем её.
Запускаем iTunes и входим под той учётной записью, с помощью которой активирован ваш айфон.
Теперь в левом верхнем углу нажимаем на выпадающее меню и выбираем там пункт Править меню…
В появившемся списке ставим галочку напротив пункта Программы и жмём кнопку Готово
Далее в выпадающем списке переходим в добавленный нами раздел Программы.
В центральной части экрана нажимаем на вкладку App Store. В правом верхнем углу, в строке поиска, вводим название интересующей нас программы, пусть это будет клиент Вконтакте для iPhone. Под иконкой приложения нажимаем кнопку Загрузить, вводим пароль от своего Apple ID и жмём кнопку Купить (приложение бесплатно, беспокоиться не о чем)
Приложение загружено в нашу учётную запись, компьютер нам больше не нужен.
UPD! Если у вас в iTunes нет пункта Программы и Править меню… то необходимо откатить версию iTunes.
Это делается обычным скачиванием и установкой нужной версии приложения. Подробнее способ описан в статье: Возвращаем Программы App Store в iTunes

Blackberry Messenger for Android to Start Rolling Out to the Play Store
12:17 PM
Unknown
Blackberry Messenger for Android might finally see life again. Seems that the messaging app might be rolling out to the Play Store sometime today. Back in September, a leaked apk hit the web, and there was quite a frenzy to get a hold of it. This caused Blackberry to postpone their release for Android and iOS, but it is looking like they are ready for the frenzy again.
If you are dying to try this messaging app, because for some reason you do not like Google Hangouts, then keep your eye on the Play Store. Let us know if you get it.
UPDATE: BBM is now live in the Play Store. The PLay Store link was not working for me on desktop, but worked on mobile.

About iOS 8 – iOS 8.4.1:
The eighth update “iOS 8” is built on the same design of iOS 7. The UI and design of iOS 8 are not changed much in it but it is bundled with many new features. Some of them are:
Photos and Camera Apps:
Both these devices are given enhancements in this release. The photos app is provided with more tools to edit the pictures. The camera app brings new time-lapse mode and shot timer for the front-facing camera.
Notifications Centre:
It is redesigned in this version. It contains two tabs now, instead of three tabs. The notifications can be sorted according to the time or app basis. Widgets can be added to the notification center. Users can directly reply to notifications from within the notification centre.
Messages App:
Messages app is also improved with new features. It now supports audio and video messages. A contact can be added or deleted from any conversation. Auto deletion of messages can also be set. If you don’t want to get notification from any specific contact, you can set “Do Not Disturb” to that contact.
Keyboard:
iOS 8 allows us to install third-party keyboards from App Store. It also supports QuickType which can be turned on / off from Settings.
Continuity:
Handoff and SMS Sync let you manage the phone calls andSMSs directly on your Mac machine without touching your phone. After pairing with Mac, which is very easy and instant, the phone will push the incoming calls and SMS to Mac as Notifications. The notifications received on the screen of Mac are actionable, i.e. you could answer the call directly from Mac and reply to SMs.
