iblipped is a cool little application/service spotted by Adam @Crackberry that aims to create a user generated coverage map. They provide a free application that measures coverage while using your GPS to find your location. This way they plan on creating a user generated coverage map like you can find at www.iblipped.com.
The app runs [...]
Here is another update from Google but this time it is a bit confusing. When you head to m.google.com/mail it says the version available is 2.0.6 but if you hit the download button it gives you v2.0.7.
Jason let me know about this update on his BlackBerry 9700 and I confirmed this on my AT&T [...]
Looks like Google just put up a quick bug fix for Google Maps. Josep let me know that you can now download Google Maps v3.2.1 from Google’s website. In typical Google fashion there is no change log so its time to play guess what Google fixed!
You can download the update at m.google.com/maps
The team at Widgetlabs let us know that the Vodafone Update Twitter & Facebook client we told you about before has been updated to version 2.0.1. Its a pretty solid Twitter client, though not the most powerful, but its nice to have options.
The new version 2.0.1 adds:
Copy & Paste
AutoText
BIS Connections
We mentioned Aloqa a bit back when it was in beta but it was limited to the Curve 8900 and Bold 9000. Now the app is out of Beta and is available for a broader range of devices including the Tour, 83XX series, 88XX series, 87XX series, and 8520. The app is now also feeding [...]
Slacker let me know that Verizon has preloaded all their Storm2’s with a link to download Slacker. Looks like that little partnership is going well for both Verizon and Slacker. Bla1ze also spotted an update for Slacker to version 2.0.91 which sadly does not have a change log.
Still I wish Slacker would finally release an [...]
Tom let me know that App World has been updated by RIM to version 1.1.0.23. I am not updating myself since the last update bricked my BlackBerry but if you use App World regularly it may be worth it.
You can pick it up OTA at www.blackberry.com/appworld
Luis let me know about Vodafone Update which is a slick Twitter and Facebook client for the BlackBerry Bold 9000 & BlackBerry Curve 8900. The app kind of reminds me of SocialScope and looks quite good. It will not replace the BlackBerry Facebook client but the Twitter functionality is pretty cool. I guess it [...]
BerryBuzz has been renamed BeBuzz to get into the App World due to RIM’s ridiculous policies where they think they own the word Berry. Adam @CrackBerry spotted BeBuzz Free edition which gives you a smaller feature set of the full BeBuzz application for free. For example it lets you customize the LED color and [...]
NightFire let me know about this free app called Kisses that looks pretty cool. With all the talk about spyware on BlackBerry I thought it would be worth mentioning. While all of this spyware requires somebody to install an application and accept 3-4 security warnings it may still be a concern for some people.
Kisses [...]
It has been awhile since the last Pandora update and this one is focused on OS 5.0 users. Sunkast@BBOS caught wind that Pandora has been updated to version 1.1.2. This fixes the issue where towards the end of a song Pandora would freeze and not move to the next song on OS 5.0.
From Pandora:
Good news [...]
Hotness! RIM has just released the BlackBerry Developer Conference Mobile Guide. The app was made by a unknown developer, Sweet Caesar Inc., which is interesting but it looks great. I hope to make it to the developer conference so I will definitely be checking this out! Let me know if you are coming too and [...]
The very useful, popular, and free BBSAK software has been updated yet again by RIMGeeks to version 1.7.0. This new version adds auto updates and a couple other fixes includes speed tweaks. In case you don’t know BBSAK is useful for accessing some of the more complex Javaloader.exe features like backing up your 3rd [...]
DavidB let me know about these two little applications that really kind of scare me. The BlackBerry is pretty impenetrable to attacks but software can be installed on a BlackBerry to let you do some pretty scary stuff.
For example, there is a FREE application called PhoneSnoop that lets you dial into the infected BlackBerry [...]
That was a quick update from Google since they just updated Google Voice 2 weeks ago. Nikolaus let me know that Google has updated Google Voice for BlackBerry to version 0.1.6 from version 0.1.5.1. Once again it is a pretty minor version bump but considering how popular Google Voice is and the features Google [...]
Naviina let me know that they have just released a new Twitter client called LittleChirp. They admit that the market is already inundated with Twitter clients but their aim is to be the fastest and simplest Twitter client for sending tweets quickly. This is Navina’s first release and will be the first of many they [...]
BlackBerry Master Control Program (BBMCP) has saved my BlackBerry twice in the last 4 weeks. The developer just let me know that they have released BBMCP 0.9.2.0 beta 10 yesterday and it has quite a few new upgrades. I will let the change log speak for itself but I highly recommend downloading it. Even [...]
UPDATE: mallinj corrected me and let me know that there IS login support in this version!!! I just am still trying to figure out what it lets you do! Hopefully it saves your favorites…
Google has just released Google Maps 3.2 and its a pretty nice upgrade. I was really hoping they would finally tie [...]
We told you previously that Best Buy was going to offer their free mIQ wireless sync solution on October 12th but totally forgot to tell you guys that it is live! I decided to give it a spin when I was checking my email and realized that this application is SLICK!
Within seconds of [...]
The popular javaloader GUI BBSAK (BlackBerry Swiss Army Knife) has been updated to version 1.6. There were a few system errors in the original 1.6 release which has now been fixed in version 1.6.3. I use BBSAK all the time and find it really useful for accessing some of the more complex Javaloader.exe features.
Check [...]
