Thread: So-called Media Manager

True, that matter has come up with my other business friends, the BES/BlackBerry implementation is rather costly and that is why many of my friends don't have any BlackBerry solution implemented at their business. As far as IT Support I don't really find it hard to implement/Support BlackBerry/BES it's only a few Windows services, granted their are little configurations with it but I wouldn't call it overly complex. And...

There will always be a market for BBs at government and at fortune 500 companies. However, many smaller businesses will opt for a cheaper solution that does what BB does, minus all the security...

Not necessarily, it's perfectly possible to encode BlackBerry compatible videos away from the Media Manager. Me? I use Super to encode my videos, but everyone's got their personal preference.

So the responses provided where...

My point is that the iphone is a significant competitor and RIM should start looking at basic...

Why did Blackberry decide to use Roxio for their media manager? I have never had good luck with Roxio and it appears, I never will. In additon, this program is slower than molasses in the Antarctic. Part of that problem might be my mistake. When I first installed it, it asked if I wanted it to catalog all my photos, and like a dumb a** I said yes. Did not understand that from that time on, when I open the manager it looks at all my photo...

You don't even need the Roxio software, why are you stuck on loading it?

its about 10 times faster to just copy your content to the sd card once the phone is connected to the pc. but thats just me.

You can use the Mass Media mode to tfer the pics, but they transfer over as...
