You may be familiar with Gym Technik since we have mentioned it before. In fact, we have twice. On both occasions, we mentioned that it is a free app + service. If you’re into fitness, why not give it a try? Running OS 5.0 on your BlackBerry is no longer an excuse. They just informed us that Gym Technik now is supported on the OS 5.0, which includes the Storm 2. Go there and check their website by yourself. It’s free! Go and shed those pounds, will ya?
If you like games, don’t miss this opportunity: Mobihand’s Deal of the Day today is Par 72 Golf II for $2.49. The regular price is $4.99, but you can get it for the special price if you buy it today.
I have this game on my BlackBerry and I really like it. Of course, there are better simulators on the PC, but I don’t think there is a better simulator than this one on mobile platforms. It’s very relaxing, you can spend hours playing and even forget that you’re not playing golf for real.
Mobihand is a BerryReview partner, so you can get Par 72 Golf II at the BerryReview Store for the special price. Today only!
Back in November we told you that Movela Pyxis Mobile was working on an official Craigslist Application for the BlackBerry. They were working on getting it on App World last time we heard from them but looks like it is finally available. The developers & Joseph let us know that the app is now available at this link http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/4236 . The application will cost $4.99 on the BB App World.
I had the chance to beta test this application and have been using it for the last few months which I am impressed with how fast and slick the application is. With this application you can bookmark your searches, search by category, set your location same as you would on the Craigslist website. The application allows you to see pictures if they are available or send a listing to a friend as well as reply to a seller right from your BlackBerry. The response time while searching is fast you can also save your searches if you tend to search for the same keyword often.

It took me a while to understand what this Sidebar application is about, but eventually it became clear: Sidebar is a push application that recommends content to you on your BlackBerry. Or, in their own words…

Forums are great source of technical help or general knowledge. You can learn a lot reading forums, no matter what topic. But reading forums on a BlackBerry is often not a pleasant experience. Forums are most definitely not designed for small screens. Some forums have “mobile” versions, but those are rarely good.
The Generation Media Group knows that and has just introduced BerryBlab. BerryBlab lets you use vBulletin forums on a BlackBerry without using the Web browser. It’s a vBulletin assistant application. The free version lets you access multiple forums, view the threads and posts and read your private messages. If you buy the Premium version, you can also subscribe or unsubscribe to threads, reply to posts, reply to private messages and view images.
Sadly, not all forums run on vBulletin, so the usefulness of BerryBlab is somewhat limited. Also, the forum has to install a plugin, which means that not even all vBulletin forums will work. Having said that, I suggest checking their Web site and also the screenshots.
This morning I launched Wordpress for BlackBerry and it notified me about an update available the update is available in App Word or from their website. Point your browser to this link and download http://blackberry.svn.wordpress.org/nightly/ota/WordPress.jad
