Plazmic Theme Builder version 4.3 is still in beta and out of the hands of the general public. (Groan!) That has not stopped Jason Calhoun John Choong (Sorry to both parties for mixing up the name. I was misinformed) from pushing the envelope and releasing one of the hottest BlackBerry themes on GadgetBean.com using [...]

One of our readers, AnoNymous , just sent me a link to this post on Sling Medias forum about their new beta program for BlackBerry.

S4BB has decided to come up with an application that will fill the gap between the native RIM task application and their $49.99 priced NextAction. Their solution was a new application called TaskMaster with a more reasonable price point of $19.99.

I also noticed that the new version of [...]

Blackboard announced on Monday that it will acquire NTI Group which is a major mobile messaging provider. According to Andy Guess at www.insidehighered.com this may lead to more mobile/BlackBerry centric applications in [...]

While I was at CES I came across a live demo Gracenote on a BlackBerry 8300 Curve. Most of you will have no idea what Gracenote is unless you have used it before. Gracenote is a whitelabel software company that provides software for devices to manage and identify music. Whitelabel means that they don’t sell [...]

Just thought I would show you what CES looked like this year. Its downright impressive with over 35 football fields full of gadgetry goodness. Try to spot what you can in the pictures after the jump. If you have any questions feel free to leave a comment. If you missed some of the coverage check [...]

Paul sent in a tip earlier that Google Maps has been updated from version 2.0.1 to version 2.0.2. As you may remember version 2 of Google Maps brought us location tracking VIA cellphone towers. This new version 2.0.2 has no changelog (come on Google!) and when I installed it I really could not tell any difference between [...]
