BBM until next week at the Google Play Store

The launch of BBM would take place last Saturday, but unfortunately for the millions of people waiting so that was not. Head of BBM at Blackberry Andrew Bocking explains how and why the delay.

Delay
After the failure of BBM in the Google Play Store a message soon came out that there were problems that were caused by a leaked version of BBM. Andrew Bocking explains in the blog post exactly how it could have happened.

Prior to the official launch of BBM there was an older version of this application and leaked on several file-sharing sites put so that anyone could download. The older version had a bug that caused was more data from the server asked than normal. Because this leaked version was rapidly distributed over the Internet, there were on Saturday more than 1 million accounts that too much data asked the BBM servers. And that did not work.
The version in the Google Play Store would end up, this bug did not but it could not block the users of the leaked version.

What next?
The only way to fix this problem was the rollout of applications for Android and iPhone stop. Currently the BBM team to update the servers that provide users with the wrong version will block work. In addition, they will take measures to prevent this. In the future
this is a big job and we do not we launch BBM for Android and iPhone more expected this week.

The iOS users who have already downloaded a version can continue to use, others will have to wait.

NVIDIA
Last year NVIDIA Kai tablets attention. In this tablet presented the company that it was actually possible to make only $ 200. A high-end tablet Finally, ASUS and Google probably had a lot to this reference design: the Nexus 7 was placed on the market for quite a reasonable amount and the cheapest version of the high -end tablet indeed cost $ 200.

The 7 inch sizes Tegra Note, the original Nexus 7 in performance exceed and also add some new features to the device. The tablet runs on a Tegra 4 chipset and uses a stylus . This stylus is according to NVIDIA better and more accurate than current smart pens that are on the market. Earlier this year, demons are directly related NVIDA Stylus technology already at Computex in Taipei. This technology makes --that an ordinary passive stylus very accurate transfer can take place.

NVIDIA wants to create market especially with the Tegra Note 4 for its Tegra chipsets given that they a little late with this product came on the market. Also, the company once again demonstrating that it is possible to get a cheap high-end tablet, with a very fast chipset and accurate pen input, bring on the market. In this case
