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. It seems that they fixed quite a few of the bugs in the application and refined many of the features so they work better. It still uses an interface that mimics Apple’s Cover [...]

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 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 [...]

V-MODA Vibe Duo is a BlackBerry compatible version of the V-MODA’s Vibe that is quite well reviewed. The difference in the Duo is that it now has a built in microphone and call button that works with the BlackBerry Curve and other 3.5mm BlackBerrys. Hayden, one of the gurus at PinStack, caught the first look [...]

I know all of use Zen theme users will appreciate the multitude of [...]
