Press Release Summary: Next2Friends announces the release of its 'Live' mobile
streaming application for the BlackBerry Curve and Pearl. Next2Friends is the first
to offer free live video streaming from mobile for Research in Motion's BlackBerry
devices.

Press Release Body: 14th October 2008 - London, UK: Next2Friends(tm)
(www.next2friends.com), the mobile social media platform, today announces the
availability of its innovative 'Live' mobile video streaming application and
'Social' Suite for the BlackBerry(r) Curve(tm) and Pearl(tm) series smartphones from
Research In Motion (RIM) (NASDAQ: RIMM)(TSX: RIM). Already available for the Symbian
S60 & S40 range of devices and the Windows Mobile 6 platform, Next2Friends is now
actively extending its support and development for the BlackBerry OS as well as a
number of other popular operating systems.

Next2Friends(tm) Live enables people to share their lives from anywhere, from
broadcasting the little things that make up the day, to capturing a must-see-moment,
to bringing happenings across the world closer to home. The application,
soft-launched in late 2007 and officially released in June 2008, is continually
being enhanced by the Next2Friends(tm) development team to deliver the optimal service
for all the people already sharing their lives through real-time, rich media. Some
of the new features that have recently been incorporated are one click streaming,
the ability to zoom, pause or re-start live streams and automatic quality selection
that guarantees the best streaming experience independent of location, carrier or
connection speeds.

"We are excited to be making Next2Friends Live available for BlackBerry users."
commented Anthony Nystrom, CTO of Next2Friends(tm). "By bringing Next2Friends to the
BlackBerry Pearl and Curve we will be opening up a whole new world of connectivity
and interactivity to this surprisingly untapped segment of the industry."

The Next2Friends(tm) mobile pack has been designed so people can share their life and
connect with others anywhere by vastly extending the capability and usability of
mobile devices. The Mobile Social Suite includes two-click photo uploading, media
rich opinion polling and location-based social networking. Seamlessly integrated
with all the extra features on www.Next2Friends.com, the total package is more
complete, more compelling and more relevant to the needs and desires of today's
consumer than any other service.

Users can sign up for the free service at www.Next2Friends.com, download the
application to their BlackBerry smartphone in seconds, and begin using it
immediately. Videos captured with the Next2Friends Live application are
automatically streamed to the user's personal video library where they can be easily
shared with friends or embedded on other social networking profiles, websites and
blogs.

Research in Motion (RIM) is one of the leading designers and manufacturers of
smartphones in the US, with the BlackBerry line commanding 46% of the market in Q2
2008. With over 5 million BlackBerry units shipped in Q2 and 17.4% market share
worldwide, there is little doubt that development for BlackBerry is a winning move.
Driven by innovation and utility for both the business and consumer worlds, there is
little sign that this momentum will slow.

Next2Friends(tm) Live application and Next2Friends Social Suite are free to install and
use, with members only paying for networked data traffic via their carrier. Advanced
compression technology ensures that all content is reduced to a fraction of its
original size, with no degradation of quality or delays.

Fully supported devices include popular models from Nokia, Sony Ericsson, LG,
Motorola, Samsung and now select models from BlackBerry.
