Cellcrypt let us know that they have launched a Wi-Fi version of their secured mobile voice calling application. This new Wi-Fi version is free for BlackBerry users for 90 days and is aimed for corporate and government employees. I am not sure why the 90 day trial is only for Wi-Fi calls since the application supports cellular calls over 2.5G and 3G+ networks… I guess they just want to tease trial users.
In case you don’t know Cellcrypt Mobile is an end to end voice encryption application for BlackBerry smartphones. It uses government grade security which is compliant with the strict FIPS 140-2 when used on a FIPS validated BlackBerry smartphone and configuration. You can learn more about their 90 day free trial promotion at this link.
What really irks me is wondering how Cellcrypt managed to figure out how to do traditional VoIP while very few other companies are offering such a thing. I am really waiting for Skype or one of the other VoIP companies to create a consumer VoIP or SIP client for BlackBerry… Full press release after the break.

WorldMate has just released version 3.5 of their personal travel assistant application that adds in LinkedIn networking support. This new version uses the latest LinkedIn API to allow you to schedule meetings or share travel plans with your LinkedIn network through the BlackBerry App or the WorldMate Website.
The LinkedIn integration to WorldMate gives users:
- A quick view of nearby LinkedIn Connections within the WorldMate itinerary
- Mobile pop-ups displaying which LinkedIn Connections are in town upon arrival
- The ability to scan for and connect with colleagues in the same town
All in all I think WorldMate and LinkedIn fit well together and users will appreciate the update. Check out the latest version at www.worldmate.com

When RealPlayer SP came out 6 months ago many Mac users complained that it was PC only. The app was a real move forward for Real and really shook off my old misgivings about the Real brand. The application allows you to easily take videos from the internet and download them to your Mac and automatically convert them for viewing on your BlackBerry. I have not had a chance to try it on my Mac yet since Handbrake works fine but let me know if you give it a shot.

There has been quite a bit of news related to the BlackBerry Application Suite while I was out on vacation sand surfing in Peru. We heard rumblings last year that RIM was working on a version of BlackBerry Application Suite for Symbian devices. Just like the Windows Mobile version the Symbian version was never released. It also was never caught on camera until the team at MaxPDA caught some video and pictures of a Nokia XpressMusic 5700 running a virtual BlackBerry OS.
I cannot understand why anybody would want to run the BlackBerry OS on a number pad phone but I guess there may be a few people out there. What do you think?
You can view the video of it in action at this link in Chinese (I think)

We told you about BlackBerry Application Suite (BAS) Professional back in the day when we first got a copy of the application. Now the crack team at the XDA-DEV forums (via BBLeaks) have scored a copy that anybody can download. Thanks to Wakady for putting it out there.
In case you don’t remember BAS lets you run a virtual BlackBerry OS (4.5 if I remember correctly) on Windows Mobile devices. There do seem to be a few caveats the first being that it looks like this version requires a BES server to work. If I remember correctly BAS was supposed to come out in Professional and Personal version one for BES and one for BIS. Right now only the Professional/BES version has leaked.
Wakady also notes that he installed it on TAEL ROM Standard WM 6.5.1 & runs fine. He could not get past the registration screen without a BES connection.
Anybody with a Windows Mobile device want to give it a spin? You can find it at Mediafire at this link.
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?
