RIM Ready’s BIS 3.2 To EMEA Regions – Americas In Two Weeks?

This comes to us from Ronen Halevy of Berry Review. EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) received the upgrade with the additional features this past weekend.

A source of  Ronen’s told him at DevCon that the AMERICAS (USA, Canada, Mexico, etc.) NOC upgrade is scheduled for the weekend around October 16th. That date was not set in stone but I know quite a few people who cannot wait to drop Google Sync for built in calendar sync in BIS 3.2. So are you excited about BIS 3.2 with Google Calendar sync? Drop us a line here on this post or head over to the NerdBerry forums to share your thoughts…
