NancyDrew has struck again on Themes4BB with her latest theme release iScribble (iPhone Scribble). The theme is based on the iPhone icons but the background and headerbar will remind you of school.

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.
