RIM TO LAUNCH FREE APTITUDE TEST APP

Research in Motion (RIM) is going to soon launch a
free aptitude test app for students. RIM has partnered
with the content providers Ipomo and telecom operator
Vodafone to provide the app on its BlackBerry
phones.
"We are looking at the way a student can utilise his
time for productive work on mobile phones. Hence, we
have decided to give students Aptitude Competition
for Excellence (ACE) applications free so that he can
utilise his time to prepare for competitive exams,"
Hitesh Shah, Director - Commercial Relationship India,
RIM is quoted as saying.
Shah further reveals that the application and its content
have been specially designed by Ipomo for the
BlackBerry users. The test will be initially for specific
examinations and grades, however, will be expanded
over the time.
RIM in coordination with Vodafone and Ipomo is
conducting an Aptitude Competition for Excellence
(ACE 2011) programme in Karnataka and is slated to
start in Pune early next year.
"We are going to organise another series of ACE in
Pune from second week of January. After completing
ACE test in Pune, we will provide access to application
on pan-India level. We will not charge anything for the
application and content," Shah adds.
