Big ideas still exist at RIM. Will this futuristic shared-space concept app ever see the light of day?(Credit:Screenshot by Christopher MacManus/CNET)Despite the aura of doom and gloom surrounding Research In Motion, the company demonstrated an amazing concept app at Mobile World Congress 2012 that could make you a believer again.
Confetti, a colorful collaboration app for PlayBook tablets, aims to make meetings more lively by adding a little flair to file and image sharing. The setup creates a virtual space for PlayBook tablets, and a demo shows that an optional cheap QVGA Webcam allows you to position PlayBooks in multiple configurations (like in a circle or together in a cluster) for enhanced interactivity. File sharing appears simple, as you can flick content from one device to another over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

It could make a meeting more fun, as with this aspect of the experience described by Crackberry: "Before a meeting starts, there's a casual game of virtual catch that you play by tapping your screen's dot. It shoots a streaming of jagged, funky pixels over to another member, and you keep bumping it around until the meeting is ready to start."
When asked about a possible release, the RIM rep in the video says, "This is just an inspirational concept showing the power of the Blackberry Platform."
