After reading this article on Mashable by Steven Hodson, I recognized a trend. It seems like every week there is a new buddy location finder or GPS location monitoring application for BlackBerry. Now we are even finding ways to include our location in a microblog such as Twitter. Is the next evolution to let people always know where [...]

While scouring the site of the pricy FindWhere service we mentioned earlier I ran across this free service. It essentially uses FindWhere’s backend to help you find your friends and share your location with them. It works with GPS enabled 8300 & 8800 devices.
I know its just another of many buddy finder applications for BlackBerry [...]

The Travel Channel has just released a free app that give you access to their Travel Channel show info on the go. The only problem I see is that when I usually travel my BlackBerry costs an arm and a leg for data. According to Simon this is built upon EarthComber’s application so it also [...]

This one packs in more features into their product but you pay $19.95/month for the pleasure of using it. I just met with them at the Pepcom convention yesterday in Manhattan and the product looks interesting. It seems to be available for AT&T and T-Mobile on the 8300 & 8800 devices with GPS. No plans [...]

Review: GetItBack
Rating: 10/10
Link: www.conveniencesoftware.com
Price: $9.99
I have been working with Dan over at Convenience Software on testing GetItBack (formerly Find)It. GetItBack is a BlackBerry location program that is relatively cheap and simple to use. I am always one for stating the obvious so here I go… this is just a “no brainer” for anybody with [...]

Merik just sent in this golf application that we had not mentioned before on BerryReview. I guess golf and BlackBerrys just vibe well. This latest commercial golf application acts like a rangefinder for your BlackBerry as long as it has built in GPS. (8110, 8310, 88xx) It probably wont work with Verizon blocking their GPS.
Its got some [...]

Josep just sent me to a link to a great article on MobileMarketer. It talks about a free BlackBerry application that combines social networking with your location. Personally I think I have to try it to understand what that means but here is my best shot.
Essentially it lets you rate your current location and share [...]

IntelliGolf has just added a $10 GPS addon option to their software. I know there are free golf tracking alternatives but IntelliGolf seems to be a full featured product. You can now use your GPS to view distances, track shots, and keep scores. I guess it is pretty much a rangefinder. It even syncs with your desktop [...]

High LevelI – Zoom inO – Zoom outA – Favorite locations

Don’t get your hopes up so far this is only available in San Francisco but it is promising. CitySense tracks yours and other users movements to see where something is happening. Its the epitome of pack instincts. If there are many people crowded at one place there must be something to see…
Its an interesting twist on [...]
