At the RIM booth you’ll find not only RIM staff talking about the BlackBerries, but you’ll also find various companies who are official partners with RIM and develop software applications for the BlackBerry.

From games like Guitar Hero III for BlackBerry to enterprise related business software, it is a plethora of the new and upcoming in the world of BlackBerry apps. One such partner on hand today was MobiTV.





This app is pretty cool. It streams TV channels that MobiTV has deals with right to your BlackBerry. The service is currently available on the BlackBerry Pearl, but you can expect it to roll out very soon on the other BlackBerry devices. Below we did our best to get you a video preview in a very loud conference hall with bad video lighting:



Some of the channels available include (channels vary based on your cellular provider): Discovery Channel, Flipping Out, Access Hollywood, NBC Sports, Fox Sports, ABC News, Animal Planet, CNBC, Fox News, Fashion TV, NFL Network, Oxygen, WWE Network and even some kid friendly channels like Disney and Treehouse (you Canadians know that last one - and yes, service is also available in Canada, though not on the BlackBerry yet - they say it should be coming soon) to keep the kids busy when you need. The price of MobiTV is an extremely affordable 9.99 per month.

I said in the video that BBGeeks.com would definitely be subscribing, but Joe then mentioned that he has an interview with Slingbox coming out in the next few days that was done live here at CTIA and not to make my decision until then. But, from what I saw, MobiTV will be hard to beat.
