I’m not sure how long these themes have been out but since I check BPlay pretty regularly (the theme lover that I am), I assume they are fairly new.

I was just reading a great article on CrackBerry giving a look at some of RIM’s upcoming BlackBerry accessories. Some of the stuff is new like a personalized stereo headset.

UPDATE: May be a false alarm. This seems to have application version 4.5.0.37 in a 4.5.0.52 build…
UPDATE #2: Looks like a false alarm. I just thought this was too good to be true and it was. Forgive me for getting your hopes up… Still waiting for confirmation.
