Making screenshots of the BlackBerry handheld is nothing new. It was possible even before the release of Idokorro BlackBerry Viewer. The BlackBerry development environment (Windows-only) contains a tool called javaloader.exe which allows you to take screenshots of the device. If I am not mistaken, this function was introduced with devices OS 4.0.2 and BlackBerry JDK 4.0.2. The only advantage I see in Idokorro BlackBerry Viewer is that it allows you to demo a real device, e.g. during a user training. You are not anymore restricted to static screenshots from the BlackBerry device or the BlackBerry simulator.

I forgot to mention one thing: Idokorro BlackBerry Viewer is also utilising javaloader.exe to view the device screen due to the fact that the BB handhelds do not provide an API to capture the screen.

Volker,

I like what I see, especially the 09:00 AM appointment ;-)

Man, that's an ugly font. It looks like Chicago, for crying out loud :)

"Segoe UI is the new Tahoma"...:-)

There are now two alternative Tools available to create screenhots and videos form the BlackBerry screen:

BBScreenshooter
BBScreenstream
