Hi! I’m Jay Goldman and welcome back to the Blackberry tips and tricks series.
Today, we’re going to take a look at using media on your Blackberry, in this case, a Blackberry storm. Right here on the home screen, you’ll note a media application icon which gives us access to all of the different types of media that the Storm supports. Now most of these application works better in landscape mode on the Storm so, I’m going to turn the screen that way and you’ll see that we’ve got access to music, videos, ringtones, pictures, and voice notes.
Starting off with music, the Storm comes preloaded with some sample songs, and I believe on this one, we got one and you can play that using the speakers if you don’t; have headphones plugged in or through headphones, if you have them. Simple controls along the bottom allow you to jump to the next and previous song or to stop the music that is playing right now.
Use the back button to return to the previous screen and back button again to get back to the main area. Videos include videos that you’ve preloaded onto the device so in this case, for example, a trailer for the Babylon AD movie and the full screen video on the device is actually pretty clear and crisp or things that you’ve taken using the built-in video camera and this is one place where the Blackberry Storm definitely trumps the iPhone because the video camera supports full motion video. So, in this case, we’ve got a video of me waving to the camera.
Ringtones include a number of preloaded ringtones on the devices, as well as ring tones that you have created yourself. Pictures, again, include all the pictures that you’ve previously taken and access to the camera so you can take new ones. We’ve got a picture in here of Matt, our producer, who also hosts the Butterscotch on-deck show.
And lastly voice notes which allow you to record notes to yourself that you can play back at a later time. This is particularly handy if you’re driving in your car and you don’t have access to a piece of paper and a pen. That’s the media application on the Blackberry Storm. Thanks for watching the Blackberry tips and tricks series. Stay tuned for more.
