110 Comments »
 

elertify Long time BlackBerry developer VirtualViews has come up with another unique app for BlackBerrys. This alerts you to new emails by reading them out loud to you when your phone is connected to your PC over USB. Essentially when your BlackBerry is connected to your PC the app can display a popup preview of messages for email, SMS, and calls and lets you hear who is calling or emailing/texting you using the built in voice synthesizer. Pretty cool if you ask me… The app is called Elertify and is available now for $4.99 on sale until Nov 15th after which it goes up to $5.99.

Giveaway Details: VirtualViews has kindly offered 30 free copies of Elertify to readers who comment on this article. Just leave your name and a valid email address in the email field and if you are randomly selected you will win a free copy! Comments must be left before Wednesday Nov 4th at 11:59PM EST to win and winners should hopefully be notified shortly thereafter. Only one comment per user will be accepted!

From the description:

Are you tired of picking up your BlackBerry® every 15 seconds to check messages only to discover it’s ad from Ed’s Furniture Company or another silly joke from Aunt Kathy?
Now you can preview messages while you work on your PC with Elertify!

    This is a pretty pointless application when you have to have it connected over USB. If it was BlueTooth…maybe, but still you can just install drivesafely and have the phone read it to you without having to touch it. No need for the extra computer app etc. and you can’t even reply.

    • I have really been hating DriveSafe.ly recently. Everybody needs to turn off those annoying emails they send to me saying “I heard your email read out loud”

        I agree, that was a terrible idea by those developers to turn that on by default. Really to include it was pretty stupid. No user would care if it wasn’t a feature.

  4. Wow !! this would be awesome for work, I’d really love to win a copy. Thanks !!!

  5. Would love a copy of this. Thanks for the contest!

  6. I’ve been waiting for an app like this for my blackberry. Did you guys read my mind?

    Pick me! Pick me! Please! :)
