OTTAWA, Canada – March 26, 2008 – Rove, the world's leading provider of enterprise software for handhelds, today announced that two of its popular products – Mobile File Manager and Rove Mobile Viewer for BlackBerry are now free of charge.

Mobile File Manager allows BlackBerry users to connect to remote file servers such as FTP, SFTP, WebDAV and Windows file shares. Users can edit files such as web pages, deploy sites, upload photos, transfer files from the memory card, view graphics on remote computers, edit configuration files, and monitor log files and much more.

Rove Mobile Viewer for BlackBerry (formerly BlackBerry Viewer) displays the screen of a BlackBerry smartphone on a computer screen. Users can give live demonstrations of any application designed for BlackBerry smartphones, create training presentations for BlackBerry users, take screen captures and record videos.

Demo: Rove Mobile Viewer for BlackBerry (formerly BlackBerry Viewer)

As the mobile workforce increases, so does the need for remote workers to be able to access remote files from wherever they are. With the number of BlackBerry implementations on the rise, there is also a strong demand for tools that allow easy training and presentations to a large group of users, by displaying the screen of a BlackBerry on a larger screen.

“Rove’s mobile enterprise software has brought simplicity and convenience to thousands of enterprise workers,” said Rob Woodbridge, President and CEO, Rove. “With these free versions of Mobile File Manager and Rove Mobile Viewer for Blackberry, we hope to introduce the Rove line of products to an even larger audience.”

Mobile File Manager and Rove Mobile Viewer for BlackBerry can be downloaded free of charge at: Rove - Products

Very Nice!

Many new stackers are looking for the means to produce a screen shot and this app is pretty effortless to set up and use.

Thanks hayden!

[saukrateaz]

The mobile viewer is awesome. Helps with training on the devices since most of the people they get deployed to are idiots.

[cgaliffi]

Thanks alot Hayden. The program works great! Especially the free part!

[jonnyxedge]

Oh man I can show customers how to use their devices on a larger screen. Haha. This is awesome. Can't wait to get home to download it. ~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~

[vbaskar]

this is awesome...

[RSCStacker]

this is gonna be freaking awesome I love it

[djdeerock]

Has anyone tried the Mobile File Manager over a TCP/IP connection....with an online WebDAV service like box.net?

I got mine set up but it isn't working. It either searches forever or comes up with a dialogue box that says "302 found" and it doesn't list any of my files...just "empty"

Any help would be appreciated! Just want to see what this is like in comparison to bookmarking the box.net site in my browser.

Thanks Hayden, this is great news....

I am however having some issues with the file manager as well, should we contact Rove directly for trouble shooting?

[calm_tiger]

Great App! I can finally do screen shots !

[butterfly2]

Great app...downloaded and tried it's a bit slow in responding to bb to desktop command....ex: I select my address book on bb and the viewer take about 30 sec or so to open/show my address book via desktop! But over all I am loving it!! Now it would be cool if you could do everything via the Rove application....chat/email/edit....etc I know I am never satisfied..but hey it's free...Lol thanks Hyden and developer Good job!!

does it work on mac?

[mrmoto]

Does this work with Mac? I looked through the website for the company and I didn't see any documentation on Mac. Thanks

[stuart B]

I may sound abit dim but does this program allow you to actually control your BB via the pc? Meaning that if was to click on the mouse it would activated my BB? Can I watch videos stored on my memory card ? Does it work on bis ?

this is way too awesome, i made a few videos, about services books, setting email, re registering handheld connecting to wifi...this would be great to show some of my coworkers, or customers. thanks

[RSCStacker]

I have to agree with you jonny. I totally digg this new application. Could use it for some of blackberry demonstrations

No it does not work on the Mac, it is Windows only. The reason is because the usb api's we are using to connect to the BlackBerry are only available on Windows.

It will probably work if you use Parallels or VMWare Fusion on your Intel Mac though, although I have never tried it myself.

Rove Mobile Viewer for BlackBerry does not allow you to control the BlackBerry from the PC. It only displays your BlackBerry's screen on your PC. You can use it to capture screenshots or video of your BlackBerry and save it to your PC, or you can use it if you need to do a presentation in front of a large group of people and need to show them your BlackBerry on a large screen.

The Mobile Viewer is quite nice, especially for the price! It will help a lot when we're deploying new units and have to do a demo.

It would be very cool if you could go another step further and control the BlackBerry from the PC.
