I know this is not a new service but I finally had a chance to try it out while out in California on vacation. (I don’t drive all that much since I live in Manhattan) I have to say it works damn well. A little GPS BlackBerry app installs on your Berry and will alert you when [...]

You can pick it up by pointing [...]

Is it as good as TeleNav at ten dollars a [...]

Ignoring all the big brother security fears for now this does seem like a pretty cool application. Josep just let me know about this application that lets you share your GPS location with friends. You can then meet friends that are near you or let trusted people know where you are.
Personally I always thought RIM [...]

News just out from Nav4All is that they have just added New Zealand and Jakarta to their already extensive on-line GPS database. This now makes Nav4All the largest and most detailed On-line mapping program on the market. There has been extensive testing side by side with some of the biggest names in GPS software [...]

I know I already covered the media player and video recorder but I completely forgot about the camera. My bad. The truth is that other than one great new feature most of the changes to the camera are cosmetic. Read below to see what that great new feature is…
You now have 1–5x digital zoom. I [...]

Nuance just announced that they will be working with TeleNav to get voice recognition in TeleNav’s cellphone products. There is no specific mention of BlackBerry but I know that the BlackBerry offering is one of their flagship mobile devices.
