"This launch shows our commitment to continually extending the reach of our award-winning service to help as many people as possible improve their memories," says Rao Machiraju, CEO of reQall. "Being an avid BlackBerry user myself, I am always connected and constantly juggling multiple tasks. With reQall, I have my own 'back-up brain' so I never forget."
reQall is smart enough to recognize certain spoken or typed keywords such as "buy," "note" and "meet" to help it organize items into their proper place. It also recognizes dates and times, which allows it to create and send reminders at the appropriate time. reQall users can share reminders with their colleagues, friends or family members by entering messages like "ask Jen to send the proposal." Jen will immediately receive a reminder by text, email or instant message. reQall for BlackBerry also integrates with several BlackBerry functions, offering a one-click "reQall This" option that creates reQall Notes and To-Dos from inside the email, calendar, memo pad and task list functions on the BlackBerry smartphone.
"People all over the world are using reQall as an indispensable memory aid. reQall for BlackBerry will make this essential tool available to one of the most digitally active and hyper-connected audiences," said Gabriel Yu, founder and chairman of iTVentures Group, and reQall investor and advisor. "Remembering things with reQall for BlackBerry doesn't get any easier."
The new reQall for BlackBerry service is a collaborative effort by reQall's global teams based in Hong Kong, India and the U.S. This release is a true milestone in establishing reQall's unified global approach to creating the best memory solutions for users around the world. reQall's Hong Kong team played a pivotal role in the development of reQall for BlackBerry and worked closely with managerial and design input from the U.S. and India teams respectively. All global teams consist of internal reQall employees who strive to produce world-class solutions to transform the way people remember.
