RIM's latest operating system update is now available to Australian users - including those in government jobs where security is an issue.
BlackBerry 7.1 OS is available from Vodafone and Optus for owners of the BlackBerry Bold 9900, Torch 9860 and 9810, and Curve 9360.
New features include support for Near Field Communication between BlackBerry handsets, using the phone as a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot, universal search, and an application to drive the FM radio built into the Curve 9360.
In related news, RIM announced that the Defence Signals Directorate has approved the use of BlackBerry 7.0 and 7.1 for government use up to and including the Protected classification.
"With the DSD approval of BlackBerry 7, Research In Motion continues to lead the industry when it comes to meeting the security certification requirements of governments around the world,” said Scott Deacon, manager, security certifications, Research In Motion.

In addition, your interview post message can be displayed in up to 7 different post displays on our the iTWire.com site to drive traffic and readers to your video content and downloads. This can be a significant Lead Generation opportunity for your business.
We also provide 3 videos in one recording/sitting if you require so that you have a series of videos to promote to your customers. Your sales team can add your emails to sales collateral and to the footer of their sales and marketing emails.
