As I said before I don’t use BeejiveIM but I realize the app is quite popular especially with people who bought lifetime licenses. Tom let us know that they just released Beta 1.9.7 in their forums that adds a whole slew of new features including the much needed OS 5.0 support.
New features from current [...]
Quite a few readers send in tips about Colorware and their uber expensive coloring customization service for the BlackBerry Curve 8900 yesterday. I am not sure how many of you are throwing down $159 for colored parts for your BlackBerry but that is way to high compared to how much the device itself costs. [...]
Review: Addictive Tower Defense Rating: Cost: $4.99 in the store
Since I installed Addictive Tower Defense on my Bold 9700 over a week ago I have been hooked. Don’t get me wrong I suck at the game but I played the game for [...]
While at DevCon I was shown a demo of NBA Game Time and was impressed by watching a game recap on my BlackBerry. The app is really smooth and has some great features like live scores, game summaries, and more. The best part is that the game comes in both a free and $9.99 version [...]
Review:Duracell Rechargeable USB Charger
Rating: 8.5 /10
Cost: List $24.99 – $49.99
Where to buy: amazon.com
Everyday on the train home I try to catch up on work. Half way during the ride my BlackBerry usually dies. I have tried many other power chargers, but I find Duracell’s to be the best. I love the [...]
Handmark just released a new service/application called MyAssist. The app and service are intended for busy people who need assistance. I have never used a concierge service myself but I guess some people enjoy their own Mechanical Turk.
Usually we don’t mention these kinds of services but this one has a 7 day free trial [...]
Matthias let me know that his very popular donationware application FileScout has been updated to version 1.5. I had a chance to meet him at DevCon and he told me that he incorporated quite a few suggestions and tips he learned during the conference into this build. This new version is actually the version [...]
I am not sure how many people still use TwitterBerry but Adam @CrackBerry noticed that they changed their name to OpenBeak. I was just reading the latest issue of Laptop Magazine and even they featured TwitterBerry as the main Twitter client for BlackBerry. I don’t think that changing the name of the app was [...]
Chocolate Chunk Apps let me know that they released their English Dictionary & Thesaurus. The coolest part about this app is that the database is stored on your devices SD card so you do not need a internet connection for it to work. That means you have a 26mb database of 250,000 entries and 1.6 [...]
I am not a sports fan myself but I have heard of the National Football Post before. They partnered up with Handmark to release a free BlackBerry application for Pro-Football fans. The app gives you real-time access to NFP sports content, news, and information.
Review: GoGo In-flight Wireless Rating: Site: www.gogoinflight.com
On my flight back from DevCon I was pleasantly surprised that there was GoGo In-flight Wi-Fi service on my American Airlines flight. I paid the $12.95 one time charge to get internet access on the plane and [...]
Quite a few of you sent in tips about Automattic updating their popular Wordpress BlackBerry client to version 0.9.0.169. They claim they are almost out of beta and I would have to agree with them. Some of these latest new updates are really slick like the ability to upload videos and the new user [...]

The title says it all! Within 10 minutes of taking the device out of the package and placing it on my desk, everyone was crowed around my desk. I didn’t even turn it on. Wow! What is that? COOOL! Where do [...]
We have done several reviews on Sena cases in the past, my personal favorite being the flip-down case for the 8830, so when they contacted me to ask whether I would be interested in participating in their new Custom Engraving, before it was officially announced, I was thrilled. This is something that I know [...]
We mentioned Urbanspoon’s service a bit back but they just released a BlackBerry app at DevCon. They sent me an email that their new app lets you choose restaurants near you with a sort of slot machine for picking a favorite.
You just hit the space bar or shake your Storm and it will find [...]

Once again, the folks over at OtterBox have done it. They have made give out yet another perfect score. I went over this case with a fine toothed comb and couldn’t find one fault. The design, fit, attention to detail and overall [...]
EA Games had a great time showing off a live demo of an upcoming game called Need For Speed Shift. (or Tilt I forget… ) The game looks awesome on the Storm2 using OS 5.0 and seems to be pushing some serious graphics. They were quoting stats with thousands of polygons and frame rates [...]
Loopt just announced an update to their application that will add some more uses to their free application. The app will now help you find places and people nearby using background location updating. My guess is that it will always use GPS or maybe even cell tower triangulation in the background to find people and [...]
The Case-Mate Fuel case for my Bold 9000 was the coolest holster I have ever used. It is the ultimate power users tool since it charged your BlackBerry while it was in the holster effectively doubling your Battery life. It was awesome looking at your BlackBerry after a full day of usage and seeing the [...]
