DavidB let me know about Mediafly and I was suitably impressed. The app is in beta for the BlackBerry and lets you select podcasts you wish to listen to on your BlackBerry. These podcasts will automatically stream to your BlackBerry. If they do not have your favorite podcast listed you can add your own [...]
Andre let me know about this cool new application called SportyPal. You just activate the app when you start your running, cycling, walking, rollerblading or similar exercise. The app will start to log and map your position, movement, distance, tempo and calories burned. You can even run it in the background.
When you finish your [...]
XING is similar to LinkedIn but focuses more on Europe from what I can tell. It has over 7 million users who can now access their business network from their BlackBerrys. I have been annoyed that LinkedIn has an iPhone app but not a BlackBerry app but it looks like XING realizes that BlackBerrys [...]
TuneWiki has decided to break free from the shackles of the App World. Tracy let me know that TuneWiki has made the OTA download links for their regular and Storm version available at the links below. Congrats TuneWiki for doing the right thing since as you can tell users are not that happy with the [...]
I am not sure how I missed this but Terry let me know about this slick new music player called Unsynched. This player is free and is intended to replace the built in music player on your BlackBerry. Right now it is a little light on features and only supports the 8900 Curve & Bold [...]
TuneWiki let me know that their free version of the paid app we mentioned yesterday is now available. This free version is advertising supported so you will see ads on the bottom of the screen while you are playing music. Not sure if that is worth the $4.95 if you use the app regularly but [...]
Personally I had never heard of Quintessentially before but they claim to be the “world’s leading private members’ club and concierge service.” They just announced the release of their free BlackBerry city guide app that gives you access to their recommended hot spots from your device. They already have an iPhone version that is [...]
YouMail let me know that they have just released a new update to their Visual Voicemail Plus app. They discovered an issue where under certain circumstances, using the “greetings” feature can “hang” the app, so that it can no longer retrieve voicemails.
NOTE: They have update the app to a new version in the App [...]
Viigo just added a new channel to their app that makes it into a full Twitter client. It also supports Friendfeed, Jaiku, and Identi.ca but those are not as widely used. You can setup multiple Twitter accounts so you always stay in the loop. It is not as intuitive as a full blown Twitter client [...]
Stitcher has slowly been rolling out support for more devices in their free streaming radio application. It now supports the Bold, Curve, 8900 Curve, & Storm. With their free app you can choose to stream selected podcasts, radio shows, and news to your BlackBerry on demand. This includes some cool feature partners like the Wall [...]
Nobex let me know that they have added the NPR radio stations to their Radio Companion app. This free app keeps on getting better with this recent addition of 250 NPR radio stations to stream. This brings the total to 1000 playable stations and playlists from 2,700 radio stations.
You also get lyrics of each song [...]
Bolt has released the 3rd beta of their browser and this time it brings even more BlackBerry specific features. This time they have added the ability to upload to YouTube and Photobucket from the app which is pretty cool. Along with that they have added the ability to copy text along with organizing your favorites [...]
Luis mentioned ZonaSnap last week as an awesome on device screenshot utility for BlackBerrys. The problem was the app was not translated into English yet so you had to brave the Spanish version. Felix from ZonaBlackBerry let me know that ZonaSnap has now been translated to English.
The app simply lets you take [...]
I told you about Viigo’s update a bit back that added podcast support and more. The problem is that it introduced a few performance bugs along with a really annoying slowdown every time you wanted to Mark Prior Opened.
Viigo just released version 3.1.330 which fixes these issues. The only problem is that Viigo has now [...]
I was at Pepcom on Wednesday for Real’s release of RealPlayer SP Beta. The new free app helps you transcode video easily to a BlackBerry friendly format. You just select the video and the your BlackBerry version and it will do its magic. It can even pickup video from YouTube and convert it using [...]
It has been awhile since we first mentioned Vision. Since then Metova has released quite a few version changes that improve the functionality and fix bugs throughout the program. The app now works better than ever for searching and streaming YouTube videos on your BlackBerry.
NOTE: This app still only works on OS 4.3+ since that [...]
Bolt let me know that their popular mobile browser has been downloaded a million times. Pretty impressive for a 3rd party mobile browser but it is still in beta and the price is right (free). No word on how many of those installs are BlackBerrys but I am assuming it is a nice portion.
It also [...]
Pinwall let me know that they have updated their BlackBerry social network app to version 1.1. The idea behind this app is pretty cool and it looks like RIM is slowly going in this direction with the upcoming BlackBerry Messenger. Pinwall seems to be putting a good deal of effort into their app so it [...]
Lester let me know that Fabian has cranked out a new little app that lets you easily create a calendar reminder from a call log entry. It essentially lets you easily create call back reminders. Nothing fancy but it requires OS 4.5+.
