“The highly anticipated LiveProfile BlackBerry app is almost here! We know how bad you want it and trust me we hear you. We intended on releasing it last week but encountered a few last minute bugs which affected connectivity. If your BlackBerry was out of service for extended periods of time LiveProfile would fail to reconnect without restarting the application. This is not acceptable and definitely something we don’t want to launch with. First impressions are everything so we believe the app should work flawlessly.
We solved the connectivity bug on most BlackBerry devices however it still exists after extensive testing. Our New York City beta testers are riding the subway, since it’s a known dead zone, and reporting back on their results. We also found a bug in which file transfers are randomly not sending from BlackBerry devices to Android or iPhone.
The entire LiveProfile team has been hard at work the entire weekend patching BlackBerry bugs and making improvements to all of our mobile apps. We were also taking additional countermeasures to prepare our infrastructure for the huge surge of traffic we will most definitely receive. Already LiveProfile is a top downloaded app in both the App Store and Android Market. This gives us a taste of what to expect especially since BlackBerry has the second highest US smartphone market share.
Thank you for spreading the word about our great app and please continue. We are just getting started and promise there is much more to come. For starters you can expect groups in the near future as it’s one of the most requested features. The rest you’ll just have to stick around to see ”
