While looking around in the owners lounge for Disco Bowling I ran across 4 slick backgrounds for the BlackBerry 8100, 8300, 8700, & 8800 series devices. The backgrounds may have been there awhile but they are news to me. I included a simple screenshot of them below. The blue one is my favorite and is the [...]

A colleague, Mark, just sent me a link to a great video on YouTube. He sent it to me after reading and agreeing with our previous post about why RIM needs a new advertising agency. According to him this is a link to some new stuff that started as a skunkworks project in RIM from some creative [...]

I just got a tip from Gary about a cool video site that works on BlackBerry devices as long as the video is not too large. You can download videos but not stream them at this time. (I am not sure about the 8130) The site is pretty standard when it comes to video selection [...]

Some people have been tired of the BlackBerry image & picture manager and have purchased Ascendo Photos to remedy the situation. Ascendo Photos Version 3 brings a few more features to the table that easily top those of the built in media manager on your BlackBerry.

Review: Bose Triport IE Headphones
Rating: 8/10
Link: www.bose.com
Cost: ranges around $99
