SAN FRANCISCO, USA: OpenTable Inc., a leading provider of free online reservations for diners and guest management systems for restaurants, today announced that its free application for BlackBerry smartphone users is available for download on BlackBerry App World.
OpenTable for BlackBerry smartphones allows diners using BlackBerry OS 4.5 or higher to check the real-time availability of multiple restaurants in the area; view restaurant profiles and cuisine details; make free, confirmed reservations; and invite friends to join them.
“This OpenTable application is really ideal for business travelers,” said Caroline Potter, chief dining officer at OpenTable. “When traveling to a new, unfamiliar city or planning a meal with colleagues, diners can now use OpenTable on their BlackBerry smartphones to instantly find and confirm an available table at a nearby restaurant—without having to research restaurants from a desktop computer or make multiple calls to find available tables.”
With this OpenTable application, BlackBerry smartphone users simply specify the desired date, time and party size, and they are immediately provided with a list of available tables at restaurants in the vicinity.
Diners using GPS-enabled BlackBerry smartphones can view nearby restaurants on a map without doing any typing, while diners using non-GPS models can simply enter in their address. From there, diners can refine results by price or type of cuisine, view individual restaurants on a map, and send emails complete with reservation information to friends.
Registered OpenTable members can see their upcoming reservations, earn OpenTable Dining Points and view their current points balances on their BlackBerry smartphones.

Vopium first mobile VoIP application on BlackBerry App World
COPENHAGEN, DENMARK & LONDON, UK: Vopium has launched its free application on the BlackBerry App World.
As the world’s first mobile VoIP application available on BlackBerry App World, the launch cements Vopium’s commitment to offering consumers and businesses worldwide a free and heavily-discounted international communications service.
Vopium’s award winning technology takes advantage of 3G, GSM, WiFi and GPRS networks and doesn’t limit users to just using WiFi hotspots. Vopium automatically re-routes calls via the cheapest available route, ensuring that customers are always able to save money when calling international numbers.
Once downloaded, the Vopium application on BlackBerry App World seamlessly integrates with the address book. It intelligently recognises international numbers and then automatically re-routes calls without the need for user input. When an international number is dialed, the call is made using the cheapest method available while also preserving the highest level of call quality.
The launch of Vopium on BlackBerry App World comes hot on the heels of the company’s iPhone application. Vopium is now compatible with more than 500 devices across all operating systems including Windows Mobile, Symbian and Java. Users that download and register Vopium from BlackBerry’s App World, will receive 30 minutes of free calls and 30 text messages (SMS). View a step-by-step registration guide for BlackBerry.
“Whilst consumers and businesses alike are looking to save money where they can, they don’t want to compromise on quality. Vopium is dedicated to helping friends, families and businesses communicate, regardless of where they are in the world, providing the same high level of call quality they’re used to receiving with their mobile operators,” said Vopium CEO, Tanveer Sharif. “Vopium on BlackBerry App World will enable the millions of BlackBerry users to significantly cut their international call costs whether these are for business or pleasure.”
The Vopium application will be available in the BlackBerry App World from 5pm GMT on May 1.
