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 [...]

I have always held close the dream that one day I would be able to replace all my portable gadgets with my BlackBerry. While this has not yet come to pass I have started using my Curve as an MP3 player. I just cannot use the video player because it is very clunky. It is [...]

I just cam across one of the best resources I have found for movie and TV show quotes, sounds, and theme songs. The website Moviewavs.com has tons of quotes for each movie which really wet my appetite. They have over 20 different quotes for the 40 Year Old Virgin and another 20+ from Knocked Up.
Their TV [...]

Ever try browsing IMDB.com from your BlackBerry? I know I have tried and their site is extremely mobile unfriendly. MetaJam.mobi movie and music database comes to the rescue with quite a bit of IMDB’s information in a mobile friendly site. Sadly it does not have as much content as the full version but it has quite a [...]

I just got an anonymous tip that the gorgeous looking Flipside MP3 player that we mentioned previously is finally out of Beta.

Gregory A. Quirk just wrote a great article on EETimes.com that I have to share with you. He decided to compare the USB transfer speeds between the following 4 devices:

Apple iPhone
BlackBerry 8120
Sony Ericsson W910i Walkman
Motorola Razr 2

The results are staggering in favor of the BlackBerry:
The BlackBerry transfered at at average 13mb/sec compared to the iPhones [...]

Turns out the app is worthless and does not work. I guess I am back to using Seabyrds Video Converter. Thanks for the heads up Brian & Deb.
After months with no updates for Seabyrds Video Converter I am glad to see another contender offering a free BlackBerry video converter. Stefano has discovered a new [...]

I was so impressed when I installed the new Shout Postcard application that I decided to do a little minireview for you. If you are interested in the application I would highly advise installing it just to give it a run through the paces. [...]

I will start this off by saying that I am already doing a mini review of Shout Postcard since when I installed the application it actually surprised me by how fully featured it was. This is especially so because it is a free service. Stay tuned for the full review. One thing that did not make [...]
