Kaiser Permanente, the nation’s largest not-for-profit health plan, has teamed with mobileStorm , a digital marketing company with a decade of experience under its belt, to launch an innovative SMS-based patient reminder solution . Like most organizations, Kaiser was faced with the problem of needing to cut costs, and decided to target the most cost-sensitive areas of their business- patient communication.  The healthcare giant chose mobileStorm’s mobile marketing platform to provide efficient and cost-effective paperless reminders to its subscribed customer base, while continually allowing customers to opt-out or into the appointment reminder database. To meet Kaiser’s goals for patient communication, mobileStorm developed an end-user SMS platform solution that allowed for the creation and managment of general appointment reminders, such as scheduled office visits, specific treatment reminders, such as mammograms, and even specific notification of completed lab results, such as a text saying “your lab results are ready.” Beginning October 1st, 2008 mobileStorm began a one month pilot program with Kaiser to prove it’s effectiveness.  Taking 87,950 cell phone numbers from Kaiser’s patient database, mobileStorm first launched a carrier query, or number verification, to verify that all numbers were valid cell phone numbers

I guess the year wouldn’t be complete without the mention of some cheap iPod knockoff.  But this is more like ripoff and then sliced in half. The 1GB Fashion Style MP3 Player looks like the bottom half of the latest iPod Nano cut in half. The MP3 player comes in pink, green, blue, and silver and retails for $12.99. Other than that maybe save up for the real thing…

I was just having a very interesting conversation with a couple of co-workers…  One is a long-time BlackBerry user.  The other just got a brand new iPhone 3G S for Christmas.  As iPhone 3G S user showed off their new gadget, long time BlackBerry user said, “That iPhone is pretty cool, but, I would never get one because it has no keyboard.”  iPhone user replied, “I really miss they keyboard on my Curve, but, the OS on here allows me to do so much more than I used to be able to do.” This got me to thinking…  RIM has no choice but to overhaul the BlackBerry OS and some point.  Apple could sell keyboardless iPhones forever, but, they undoubtedly would exclude millions of potential customers that will never buy a phone without buttons, so, I think that we eventually will see an iPhone model with a keyboard. The big question for me…  Which one will happen first? Which Happens First? BlackBerry OS Gets Overhauled, Or, iPhone Gets A Keyboard? is a post from: RIMarkable

In an attempt to expand the theme developers we feature in this bi-weekly space, I’ve started to search out new ones on my own. This has yielded positive results this week — though we do feature one of our regulars. I’ll continue noting any new themes I cross in my BlackBerry travels, but this works better when crowd sourced. If you are a theme developer looking to have your themes featured, or if you’re just a regular BlackBerry user who has found an excellent theme, email me, jpawlikowski at bbgeeks, and I’ll take a look. Hopefully my efforts mesh well with yours, and we can put together some killer theme features

In a recent post I discussed the various factors that must be considered when planning an Exchange database design . For Exchange Server 2003 and 2007 the layout and naming of databases played an important role in the ease of administration as well as the balancing of database load.  If Help Desk staff randomly chose a database to host a given mailbox it could easily lead to unbalanced servers and result in poor performance of the Exchange back end. Fortunately Exchange Server 2010 makes this a lot simpler thanks to several improvements and new features. Database Performance Improvements An immediate improvement in Exchange 2010 is the database performance, when viewed in the context of disk IOPS (Inputs/Outputs per Second) required to perform certain operations.  Simply put, a given operation in Exchange 2010 (let’s say a user sorting their 10,000 item inbox by name instead of date) generates far less read/write load on the disks that store that mailbox database.

Open standards are lovely – not only because they enable interoperability, but also because the certification bodies frequently disclose information on upcoming devices.

Nokia’s Description: Simply manage the settings and policies of selected Nokia devices.

Engadget posted an outstanding article December 28th, beginning from 1999 till now, focusing on the growth of Research In Motion and the BlackBerry devices. Reading and looking back makes you really see how far RIM has come. It’s amazing when you look back at how a product began as a baby email device and grew up to be a business/consumer product for everyone. Hats off to Chris Ziegler for this article, it’s very in depth with the history

Hey all, I thought I’d enlighten you about some of the document applications on the N900 including: PDF Reader Documents to Go: Sheet to go Slideshow to go Word to go Notes I’m sure you have all seen the one from Nokia (I actually did my video before Nokia’s one came out but just been away so couldn’t upload / edit the video I made) Nokia’s Video: This is more  of a puff piece then anything else! My Video: I’d like to just apologise about the quality of the video and if you notice jolts, etc as the only thing i had to record this was a digital camera but at max resolution it only lets me record 30 seconds at a time to had to keep hitting the record button! Ow and I might have said “ummm” and “errrrr” a few hundred times so sorry in advance!! Let me know what you think and hopefully this will be one of many videos from me…anyone want to donate a decent video camera to me!!! p.s. should have a X6 in a few days so expect something about that from me soon!

[Forgive the length of this post. This was originally an extremely short post to show that out of Techradar's "10 phones that defined a decade, 5 were Nokia handsets] On Friday, it will have been a whole decade since we entered the new millennium. 10 years since 2000? How did that happen so quickly?

3G mobile broadband on the go is great, but the costly monthly fees and long term contracts have kept it from becoming adapted by the masses. This might soon change when DataJack launches at CES next month. The service offers 3G highspeed data for just $39.99 a month, and that is without any contract commitments. On top of that, the service offers truly Unlimited data – it doesn’t have the standard 5GB a month limit that other 3G data providers like Sprint, T-mobile, Verizon and AT&T maintain on their wireless broadband plans. DataJack also promises no early termination fees, no deposits, no credit check, and their USB modem costs just $99 at signup.

The more you use your BlackBerry, the more storage space you’ll need. While most basic information can reside in the on-board memory, more advanced features require a memory card. Not only does a memory card allow you more space to store your pictures, video, music, backups, and documents, but it also allows you to move them from device to device, whether that be to a new BlackBerry device or to your computer. It also makes managing your data easier, since you can open up an Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac) window and access the card’s files.

Mobile marketing, and in particular, the mobile coupon, is about to hit its stride. In 2009, we saw large corporations test out mobile marketing campaigns to raise awareness of their brand and products, often giving away discounts and free products to tempt consumers into opting-in to their campaigns. Looking back at 2009, we can predict how much of an impact mobile marketing will have in 2010

Administrators are always looking for ways to increase network bandwidth, to increase utilization of their systems or to limit applications from overusing all of their server resources. If you’re running Outlook and also you are using Exchange Server as your email server then you’ll be interested in hearing about a setting which will prevent Outlook from always having to call out to Exchange server for new email messages. The setting is called, “Cached Exchange Mode” and it is used to modify how data is pulled down from the Microsoft Exchange email server

So you are bored of the same black high gloss finish speakers. The Rock-It portable vibration speaker system takes music from your device and sends those vibrations through the Rock-It “pod” onto any object you choose. So basically you can stick your “pod”onto a juice carton, a box of cereal, or a Barbie and you’ll have music “pumping” out of it. Just press play on your device be it a iPod, MP3 player, or mobile phone.

Mignon Clyburn, member of the Federal Communications Commission member responded to Verizon Wireless’ 77-page reply to government queries concerning its US$350 early termination fee for “advanced devices.” Clyburn, added to the FCC earlier this year by President Obama, called Verizon’s response “unsatisfying and, in some cases, troubling.” Commissioner Clyburn said in the proclamation that she
