Accessories and Apps for BlackBerry at CES 2010

Behold BlackBerry users! The recent CES 2010 show, which marked its cessation yesterday showcased some new accessories and applications for BlackBerry. Here are some of them that can truly enhance your buddy.

Radiation-Proof Case for Blackberry

The concern about the health issues due to the radiation emitted by mobile phone still remains to be a controversial one. Relatively, majority of the researches highlight the chance of cancer due to the radiations.

Here comes Pong, with a new mobile phone case that can reduce the the radiation beamed into the users’ head. The technology behind this case may slightly bewilder you, but it is quite interesting. The Pong case comes with a secondary antennae, which attracts the radiations towards it, and then directs it away to the closest base station rather than to the users’ head. This can reduce the radiation that beams into the head by 60 percent. And no worry on the call reception quality! It maintains the full signal strength, enabling you to have an efficient communication.

Currently, this module has been destined for BlackBerry Curve, and the cases for other BlackBerry handsets will be launched soon.

BlackBerry Presenter – A Powerpoint Accessory for BlackBerry

The new BlackBerry Presenter will help you to deliver Microsoft Powerpoint presentations directly from your Blackberry mobile phone. Simply plug the presenter to a projector or a monitor, and press ‘Present Slide’ option from your BlackBerry smartphone. It supports Microsoft Powerpoint 2003 and 2007 versions most accurately.

There are some features such as ‘Freeze Mode’ to freeze a slide on the screen, while you browse through the rest of the slides and ‘Loop mode’ to set time between the slides. Besides, BlackBerry Presenter has bluetooth connectivity as well.
