BlackBerry Users Get Boingo Mobile App



Boingo Wireless, a global provider of W-iFi service, has announced the availability of Boingo (News - Alert) Mobile service for the BlackBerry platform.
 
With this, Blackberry users can gain access to various hot spots and cellular data through one-click.
 
This new Mobile application is based on public beta testing by Boingo Labs and incorporates extensive user feedback. It is currently available for the BlackBerry (News - Alert) Curve 8900, BlackBerry Curve 8320 and BlackBerry Bold smartphones. Boingo officials also said the company will announce support for additional BlackBerry smartphone models as they become available.
 
“Boingo Mobile is about ease of use and a low-cost, high-speed alternative to cellular data,” said Jonathan Mendelson, general manager of mobile and product management. “BlackBerry users can seamlessly switch to a Boingo Wi-Fi connection when they’re online using data-intensive applications.”
 
With the addition of BlackBerry platform support, Boingo continues to expand its support for smartphones, including those based on the Android, iPhone (News - Alert), Symbian Series 60 and Windows Mobile platforms.
 
In addition, the company has announced its plans to continue their innovation and update its application for BlackBerry smartphones to provide new features providing users even more benefits from the Boingo network and its locations.
