Mark has been hard at work bringing a ton of new features to PocketDay. The best of which is the new Empower HTML viewer integration! Check out the full updated feature list below. RIM could learn a thing or two from PocketDay’s changelogs. You don’t have to guess what features were added.

This is part 2, here is part 1: One day, I was very bored and decided to play a little with The Gimp. I am no artist, so I just came up with a lot of random stuff. I saw that some of it could be used as wallpapers, so I put them in my [...]

One of our readers, Nikolaus, sent me an email about a new version of the BlackBerry Facebook application that is now available. The new version is 1.0.0.22 which is newer than the older 1.0.0.18.

While looking around in the owners lounge for Disco Bowling I ran across 4 slick backgrounds for the BlackBerry 8100, 8300, 8700, & 8800 series devices.

The pictures are awesome but if you want [...]

It’s been there for a few days now but I completely forgot about it. The Magmic game Disco Bowling is now available for free in the BlackBerry Owners Lounge. Personally I think RIM could have done a much better job with the Owners Lounge but I guess we have to live with what we get.

Marc has released a slick easy on the eyes Zen theme on BlackBerryForums called SimplyGreen. The theme comes in all 8100/8300/8800 flavours. I liked the clean lines of the theme so I thought I would share. Sadly there are no OTA links and the Desktop links are provided using the free Mediashare service. This is [...]
