One of our readers, Ron, asked me how he can get NOAA severe weather alerts on his BlackBerry. He was hoping for audio alerts but I could not find any solutions. On the other hand I did manage to find a few solutions that can be used for RSS, SMS, or email alerts.
You can go [...]

Thanks to Raffy for sending this one in. RIM is finally holding its own against the requests from India’s government. They have answered that they do not have the technology (and should not) to decrypt and spy on their users emails.
From the coverage by the WSJ’s Livemint.com:

“The Blackberry security architecture for enterprise customers is purposefully [...]

Abdul got the skinny on another free GPS application for BlackBerry. The features look really cool. I like the fact that it tells you the best time to take your trip to get there on schedule.
From the description:

Proxpro Prompt (beta) provides a real-time picture of your next journey before you’ve even set off. It calculates [...]

Hope you guys are having fun with OS 4.5… The links had to be taken down per request. We didn’t start the fire I recommend searching the web if your still looking for the latest OS versions.

GPSed is a great free application that we have mentioned quite a few times. They have updated their application over the weekend with a much needed facelift for the User Interface. The new UI looks much better and actually brings the app up a notch in my book.

Some other features in the new version are [...]

I never thought I would promote the idea of using your BlackBerry to stay in shape but I just found this new application called xFit. It has a database of 50 exercises that do not require any equipment so you can truly learn how to workout anywhere.

I copied some of the items I found interesting below but you can get the full PDF by going to this link on RapidShare. I wonder what all this [...]

Chalk this one up to the RUMOR category. Josep just caught some interesting information in the device.xml file. (Translated to English) It seems like there is reference to a new (SYM) Symbian virtual platform for BlackBerry.
I know it has been over a year since RIM mentioned the Virtual BlackBerry experience for Windows Mobile and they have still [...]

I was reading a great post by Unreal on BBforums. He managed to find a great resource, www.iconarchive.com, where you can pick up a ton of free 32×32 icons.
So you might ask why you would need such icons? They are great for the free Web Shortcuts Application by Jonathan Fisher.
Web Shortcuts is a free application that [...]

I got a good laugh when Josep sent this link over to me. Some developer created two themes that are sure classics even with their high price. The first is a great reincarnation of the Wordpress Blog software on your BlackBerry. The second makes your BlackBerry look exactly like one of the old school Series [...]
