WhereAmI: See Your Location on Your Storm Background (9500 GSM Only)

This is a slick app that I think would really take off if only it worked on more devices. It simply shows you where you are on a map and sets that as your homescreen background. The main problem is that it only works with the 9500 Storm GSM version so even 9530 CDMA [...]

Centrl: Free Location Based Social Network with a Small Twist

Robert let me know about Centrl which is another slick looking location based social network. The problem with most of these networks is that you need to have friends on them to be tempted to install it. Google got this easily with Google Maps since so many people already have it installed for Latitude. [...]

MyPoynt Updated to 1.1.0.63 – No Change Log

Nikolaus let me know that they have updated their application to version 1.1.0.63 from 1.0.1.68 which is a significant number change compared to their regular incremental ones. The problem is that neither me nor Nikolaus can see anything different. Their last update added cell [...]

Live Search Updated to Support Newer OS Versions

Corey let me know that the free Microsoft Live Search application has been updated to version 2.1.3336.34565. Talk about a mouthful of a version number. The new version supposedly brings support for OS versions above 4.6.0.185 but I cannot confirm that. Other than that there is no change log. If you were having trouble with the [...]

GPSLogger – Free App Records Your Movements Using GPS (GPX Or KML)

Emacf1 released another free/donationware application recently called GPSLogger. It is a simple offline GPS logging application that records your movements using GPS. The nice part is that unlike other applications it stores it on your BlackBerry so it does not have an online component. This appeals to my security conscious side that just wants to [...]
