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.

Seidio seems to be working very hard on their OEM battery line for BlackBerry devices. This time they have outdone themselves by increasing their original extended battery from 1300mAh to 1500mAh. They claim you will be seeing 30–35% more battery life than the original 900mAh battery that comes with your curve. The best part is [...]
