In my opinion Viigo has long been one of the best - if not the best RSS reader for BlackBerry devices. Viigo is actually one of the oldest reviews found on BerryReview.com. For the last month or so we have been in contact with Viigo about their roadmap for the future. We got a prerelease [...]

I know many people use the Handmark Zagat To Go application so I thought I would let you know that a new version has just been released. It has still not fixed the major caveat we had in our review of version 5 but it is a start. The information is still stored on the [...]

The BeFTP (BEIKS FTP) client that we mentioned before is now available from the BEIKS mobile site. For some reason it is not available from the main www.BEIKS.com site. The BeFTP client is free for non-commercial use. The tricky part is that for commercial use you are required to purchase the Pro version of BeFTP [...]

David just sent us a tip that a new version of LexSpell has been released by BEIKS. We have mentioned LexSpell quite a few times in the past including an impressive review but it has really quieted down since RIM added their own native spell checker in OS 4.2.2. The new version of LexSpell fixes issues they had [...]

Stefano just sent me a link to an article on MacWindows.com describing Microsofts dropped support of plugins/addons in Entourage 2008. I am no Mac expert but this could be a real pain for many people who were using The Missing Sync to keep their devices in sync. Supposedly this lack of plugins in Entourage means that [...]

BlackBerryInsight.com got the skinny on an update to the MarketFilters free mobile quotes and analysis application we told you about previously. The new Version 2 is coming almost a year after the last release so it has a boatload of updates. The old version is still available but I recommend sticking with the new one.

These applications are:

Simon at BBCool just found that Bplay, the BlackBerry portal for Magmic games, is now offering users the option to take a 40 question survey and get a 50% off coupon at Bplay.com for your time. I think that is a pretty sweet deal but the survey does take awhile to fill out. It took [...]
