On Tuesday, wireless enterprise solutions developer Flowfinity Wireless Inc., announced the availability of French support in its wireless smart client (the Flowfinity Client) for BlackBerry/.

Now, all menus and on-screen user prompts are also available in French.

Given that French is one of the two national laguages in BlackBerry-maker Reearch In Motion's home country of Canada, this is not an insignificant development.

Flofinity terms the significance in two ways:

1. In Canada, companies or government organizations can now access and use Flowfinity Applications in the official language of their choice.

2. Companies in France, whether headquartered there or with branch offices of multi-national companies doing business there, can now use Flowfinity Applications in French.

Hey there from a place really, really close to a subtropical beach. Rather than in my customary Pacific Northwest ocean hangout, I am at the Atlantic. Whilst (not a Brit, just love that word whilst, heh heh) I prefer the Pacific, here the beaches are warmier and sandier.

Sandy enough to bear witness to beach volleyball. But it is not only here where the game is played.

You can play beach volleyball on your BlackBerry. That'd be via RESETGames' Beach Volleyball for BlackBerry.

Wanna see pic?

Then clic.

What a babeextraordinarily fit young woman.

Wanna play? That'll be $14.95, or $13.46 if you are on Club Handango.

I drink wine, and use a BlackBerry. Usually not at the same time, but I find both wine-drinking and BlackBerry use to be positive enablements.

You too?

Salud.

If so, you may be interested to learn that the wine reference site Winezap now has a BlackBerry-compatible version.

Everything you would want to know about wine regions, type, food pairing, price and user ratings.

Just don't spill any wine on your BlackBerry keys, K?

At the Lotusphere show in Orlando yesterday, BlackBerry-maker Research In Motion demonstrated several new software and services compatible with IBM Lotus Samtime's IM and collaboration package, and with Lotus Domino as well.

These are Convert to Call, Click to Map and Domino Discussion and Databases.

I know you won't want to start your day without knowing the basics of each, so come along now, would'ya?

Convert To Call- This new functionality allows users engaged in an instant messaging group chat to instantly convert their text-based discussion into a multi-party conference call, which is initiated and managed through the enterprise PBX or a conference server. "Convert to Call" works through the BlackBerry Enterprise Server to seamlessly collect the presence information of each user from Lotus Sametime, then invokes the enterprise PBX or conference server to initiate outbound calls to each user, pulling them together into a voice conference. When the conference call ends, the users are automatically returned back to their group chat session exactly where they left off. Users benefit from the convenience and efficiency of the automated process and enterprises can achieve significant economic and administrative benefits from the least cost routing and centralized management.

Click To Map- This feature will allow users to generate maps on a BlackBerry handset within the context of a Lotus Sametime session. The "Click to Map" feature will launch BlackBerry Maps from within the Sametime client software and generate a map that illustrates a colleague's location based on presence information retrieved from Lotus Sametime.

Domino Discussion Databases- RIM has developed a set of optimized BlackBerry interface templates with design elements to improve the usability for mobile workers. In addition, RIM provides a WSDL (Web Services Description Language) enabling the mobilization of standard Lotus Domino Discussion databases using the BlackBerry MDS Studio rapid development tool. With BlackBerry(R) MDS Studio, the interface design elements can be visually dragged into position to create an optimal user interface on a BlackBerry handset.

One of BlackBerry Cool's readers has just made an iPhone BlackBerry theme.

That's it at the top of this post.

What do you think?

A BBHub reader writes that he has just downloaded Yahoo! Go For Mobile.

That after several readers reported last week that their download attempts resulted in notifications the beta was filled.

"I believe its out of the beta stage and no longer gives the 'testing is full' message," he writes. "Loaded great. Sharp icon but it runs slower than expected. Good features though. Still not sure if its a keeper."

Well, it should come as no surprise that we are starting to see anti-spam filters for BlackBerry.

I mean, only a matter of time before the spam mills discovered mobile devices, right?

Antair Spam Filter 1.3 lets you adjust filters for the strength of anti-spam protection you want on your BlackBerry.

I'd choose Normal. Strong, and you might get some false positives. That's when non-spam gets caught in the filter and when the person you sent you that like totally legit email pings you with "did you get my email," and then you see it is in your junk email.

From developer Antair Corporation, the Blackberry flavor of Antair Spam Filter costs $49.95. Club Handango Members pay $44.95.
