The CES is not a big show for smartphones, but Research In Motion had a big booth and I spent some time walking through it looking for new phones. Unfortunately, all I found were lots of existing Tours, Curves, Bolds and Storms. They didn&#8217;t have any new phones on display that we haven&#8217;t seen before. There were plenty of accessories, but nothing of note. They did have the <a href=\"http:\/\/na.blackberry.com\/eng\/devices\/accessories\/presenter\/\">Presenter<\/a> that was announced recently, but that&#8217;s about it.<\/p>\n<p>You may have seen a viral marketing piece that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blackberrycool.com\/2010\/01\/11\/microsoft-office-ad-uses-blackberrys-not-winmo\">Microsoft has been running for Office 2010<\/a>. It&#8217;s pretty funny but what does it have to do with the BlackBerry? If you look closely, the actors are using them in the ad, not Windows Phones. Oops.<\/p>\n<p>We have been long-time fans of Xobni &#8212; &#8220;Inbox&#8221; spelled backwards &#8212; the Outlook add-on that adds a lot of power to the program. <a href=\"http:\/\/jkontherun.com\/2009\/03\/25\/xobni-out-of-beta-coming-to-smartphones\/\">We previously deduced that Xobni would be coming to the BlackBerry<\/a>, but nothing for a while. I didn&#8217;t see them at the CES, but others found the Xobni folks touting the BlackBerry version of the app that will be coming Real Soon Now. Outlook users should <a href=\"http:\/\/www.xobni.com\/blackberry\">check it out<\/a> when it&#8217;s available.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/stats.wordpress.com\/b.gif?host=jkontherun.com&#038;blog=4479943&#038;post=53853&#038;subd=jkontherun&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/jkOnTheRun?a=21zo27BrnB4:HLlJyxeZ5Go:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/jkOnTheRun?i=21zo27BrnB4:HLlJyxeZ5Go:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/jkOnTheRun?a=21zo27BrnB4:HLlJyxeZ5Go:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/jkOnTheRun?i=21zo27BrnB4:HLlJyxeZ5Go:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/jkOnTheRun?a=21zo27BrnB4:HLlJyxeZ5Go:dnMXMwOfBR0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/jkOnTheRun?d=dnMXMwOfBR0\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/jkOnTheRun?a=21zo27BrnB4:HLlJyxeZ5Go:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/jkOnTheRun?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/jkOnTheRun?a=21zo27BrnB4:HLlJyxeZ5Go:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/jkOnTheRun?i=21zo27BrnB4:HLlJyxeZ5Go:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/jkOnTheRun\/~4\/21zo27BrnB4\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s Tuesday and that can only mean it\u2019s time for our weekly feature, the BlackBerry Buzz.
