If you’re looking to deploy BlackBerry in your organisation, whether it’s for 2 people or 2,000, chances are you’d be far better speaking to a specialist like Scancom than popping down to your local Vodafone store.

I bumped into Chen Kotecha of Scancom UK yesterday and asked if he could give me an overview of the company’s services, particularly from the perspective of buying, deploying and supporting BlackBerry services for enterprise.

Here’s the video:

If you’re on the hunt for assistance deploying BlackBerry, do give Chen and his team a call.

This affordable CDMA messaging phone has features similar to the Sanyo 2700, including a QVGA display, QWERTY keyboard, 1.3 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, and voice control.

This messaging phone puts the features of the Reveal in a simpler slab form factor that’s thinner and lighter. Key features include GPS navigation, video sharing, HSDPA data, 1 megapixel camera, stereo Bluetooth, and a memory card slot.

If you hadn’t noticed, there are a plethora of Twitter apps in the iTunes store to choose from. You have your pick of the litter from free apps, which offer limited functionality, to fully-paid apps that throw in everything and the kitchen sink.

For some reason, developer Fabian Kreiser decided he would enter the fray as well with an app called Icebird, a Twitter client that allows you to sign into multiple accounts and keep track of all your follower / followees and monitor trends on the popular social networking site. The app covers all of the major features that you would expect from a Twitter client, without delving into some of the power set that only the hardcore need. Imagine my surprise when, after several days of use, I found myself using Icebird more and more as my primary client until it took over completely!

So how did Icebird win my heart?

In a word – interface. Kreiser has apparently gone to the Apple School of Design. As I used the app over the weekend, simple little user interface elements made interacting with Twitter a joy. Swipe smoothly left to right to move between accounts. Scroll through a nicely parsed arrangement of your timeline that is pleasing to the eye. Hold your finger down on a tweet and get instant options to Reply, Retweet, or Favorite. Tap the tweet for further options. I know, I know, many of the popular clients in the iTunes store already do these sorts of things, but Icebird manages to combine the best of them. And trust me, using is definitely believing in this instance.

So what’s missing? The big one for me is landscape mode, but the developer has promised that for the upcoming 1.1 version. At first I thought editing Retweets was absent, but noticed that option available (among many others) when tapping into the tweet itself.

Upon first glance, I was ready to toss Icebird into the “yet-another-twitter-app” bin and forget about it for good, but after several days of use I have given up the power application I was using in favor of Kreiser’s beautiful creation. If the developer can continue to add features to the app without clogging the nicely designed interface, I can see Icebird being my primary Twitter client for a long time to come.

The Impossible Game. With a title like that, you know it’ll be a tough ride…but The Impossible Game takes “difficulty” to a whole new level. It’s fast-paced and brutal, but with near-instant respawning, the experience is as smooth as it is deadly.

You play a humble orange square, racing against a serene blue background. The trick is that there are plenty of obstacles on this course: triangles are like deadly spikes, and squares can be jumped on top of but will kill you if you slam into them. Likewise, you can die if you fall through a hole in the floor. Your orange square will hurtle forward regardless of the danger, and your only control is simple…tap to jump. Longer taps equal longer jumps, and you’ll need meticulous precision if you want to survive. The music syncs with your music, which is a very nifty effect that adds to the surreal quality of the whole thing.

Most of the time, you’ll only survive for a few seconds. The Impossible Game is unforgiving. Every time you die, the counter at the top of the screen takes note and then sends you straight back to the beginning. Most of the time it’s a constant cycle of death and rebirth, and you’ll quickly rack up hundreds of deaths. There’s only one level, but good luck finishing!

The Impossible Game would be truly impossible if not for Practice Mode. Tap the white flag, and it will materialize in the level where your block currently is. This places you in Practice Mode—when you die, you get sent back to the flag instead of the very beginning. This lets you get lots of practice with a specific sequence, so you might actually be able to win.

Of course, the problem there is that once you’ve mastered it…there’s nothing left, and you’ll quickly move on. (You can post scores to Facebook or Twitter, but how compelling is that, really?) But while The Impossible Game is simple, it’s an incredible ride. High-tempo, life-or-death, and completely seamless, it reminds me of Canabalt without the randomized levels—excellent platforming at its most basic. As a bare-bones example of what a game should be, The Impossible Game is a clear winner.
