SHAPE just released the beat of GPSed which is a spinoff application that allows you to save tracklogs that you can later map out on Google Earth. Currently the leader for tracklogs is MobileTracker but that costs $24 while GPSed is free.
You need to get a login by going to GPSed.com from your PC. You can [...]

I just read a great post on BoyGenius about ColorWarePC coming out with custom paint jobs for the BlackBerry Pearl, 8300, & 8800. The paint jobs are scheduled to be available on New Years eve (12/31/2007). This is some great news for all of your modders who are too scared to point a spray paint [...]

It is not just any device that gets blown up for the whole world to see in Times Square. I was strolling down the block this Christmas Eve and was astonished to see such a large ad for BlackBerry devices. Just thought you would enjoy seeing a BlackBerry 8300 blown up and plastered on a NYC skyscraper. [...]

Gregg has just released a great Coca-Cola styled theme for the BlackBerry 8800 on Themes4BB.com. The theme has the classic Coca-Cola logo as the background and is accompanied with silver icons.

Jenny has just released an great looking theme on BlackBerryForums that I installed immediately. The theme is made for the 8300 but it also has the WiFi icon for 8320 users. The theme has a very bold black and red look that I like. The icons could be better on the application screen but the [...]

I have been hearing some rumblings that we don’t cover 8800 series themes as much as we do the Curve and Pearl so I decided to rectify the issue.
Geenyc has released a cool Batman logo theme for the BlackBerry 8800 series. I am not sure if it is compatible with both the 8800 and the [...]

Gemblock has finally followed up on their original Black Diamond Theme for the 8100 by releasing the theme for more devices. The new update brings the Black Diamond theme to the 8300, 8700, 8800 & 8830 devices. The theme has the same subdued look of the original Black Diamond and looks pretty slick. The whole [...]

I have been asked countless times about how to encode video to play correctly on a BlackBerry. So I decided to write up a post with a short description of the 2 free pieces of software I use to re-encode video to play on my BlackBerry 8310 Curve. There are other commercial video encoders but personally [...]
