Google Maps Adds Experimental Voice Search

I don’t know why Google is hating on the 8300 & 8800 series but this is cool none the less. They just announced that they are now supporting voice search in their latest version of Google Maps for the 8110, 8120, & 8130. It uses the same technology as the free GOOG-411 service many people [...]

BlipSocial Beta - Location Aware Applications

BlipSocial is a bit hard to describe. Kevin @ CrackBerry did a decent job so I thought I would take a crack at it. Essentially it takes a few applications and adds your location awareness to the mix. It works with or without GPS but obviously it is better with. I have not tested it [...]

MyPoynt Beta Version 0.8.3 Released - Still Free

Peter dropped by on our post to mention that MyPoynt has been upgraded. Jorge awarded MyPoynt a 9/10 in our review so I thought the upgrade would be worth mentioning.
The new release brings:

Can I Please Stalk You… Am I The Only One?

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 [...]

LiveContacts - Free Buddy Finder Application

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 [...]

Travel Channel Go Puts Their Info In Your Pocket

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 [...]

FindWhere - Another GPS location Tracking Application

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 - Find Your Lost BlackBerry

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 [...]

GreenFinder - Golf Rangefinder Using GPS

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 [...]

Whrrl Beta - Free Location Based Social Networking App

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 [...]
