Blackberry Client Download

In order to use the Wi-Fi functionality in this software, you will need a BlackBerry device that is Wi-Fi equipped. If you have a BlackBerry not equipped with Wi-Fi, you can still use our location directory function, including interactive maps, if you have BlackBerry software version 4.5 or newer with Blackberry Maps installed.

Note that this is a pre-release that is not yet officially supported. This release requires Blackberry OS 4.5, and has only been tested on the Blackberry Bold. It should work on other phones. The UI will look a little off, but it will still function correctly.

Welcome to Boingo Labs

Welcome to the Boingo Labs blog.  If you’d like to know what the Boingo engineers are up to, you’ve come to the right place.  This is where you’ll find everything from half-baked, slightly nutty ideas to code that is almost ready to ship.  We invite you to take a peek under the hood and welcome your feedback on what works, what doesn’t, and what should have been left on the cutting room floor.   

Fair warning: Most, if not all of the stuff you’ll find here isn’t ready for prime time.  We make no guarantees that it’ll work, or that it won’t break your machine.  (Okay, so it probably won’t break anything, but our lawyers are the exacting sort…)

Now that the formalities are out of the way, let us simply say, thanks for stopping by.  We look forward to hearing what you think.
