This is the first I have heard of the 8110 landing on North American shores. I was just reading a press release that Simon sent me about Rogers releasing the new 8110 GPS Pearl. The device did not interest me as much as the details that Rogers put in the press release.
Is it just me or [...]

We have told you about SameCell before when it was first announced for BlackBerry. The application lets you know when your friends on SameCell are nearby. The SameCell application is now out of beta and has added a bevy of features. The best feature is that the software remains Free!
The SameCell application uses locations of [...]

Paul sent in a tip earlier that Google Maps has been updated from version 2.0.1 to version 2.0.2. As you may remember version 2 of Google Maps brought us location tracking VIA cellphone towers. This new version 2.0.2 has no changelog (come on Google!) and when I installed it I really could not tell any difference between [...]

Trimble Outdoors has released their GPS applications for BlackBerry today. The app compatibility is confusing. The press release says that it is only compatible with CDMA but their website says it is compatible with both GSM & CDMA so I can’t speak either way. I don’t really understand the details so I will just leave you with the [...]

SHAPE just released the beat of GPSed which is a spinoff application that allows you to save tracklogs that you can later map out on Google Earth. Currently the leader for tracklogs is MobileTracker but that costs $24 while GPSed is free.
You need to get a login by going to GPSed.com from your PC. You can [...]

Review: Neosistec CarFinder
Rating: 8.5/10
OTA Install: bb.Neosistec.com/carfinder
Version: 0.70 Beta
Josep just let me know about a new free application by Neosistec that uses GPS to help you find your car. The only caveat is that it requires GPS on your BlackBerry. It worked great on my BlackBerry 8310.
The software is a great idea and reminds me [...]

Navizon has followed the footsteps of Google Maps in rolling out cell tower based positioning in their new Navizon Lite product for BlackBerry. Josep just pointed out a post on the Navizon blog that details the features of Navizon Lite. The new version allows you to use cellphone towers to track your position if you do [...]

For those of you who absolutely have to have the latest and greatest version… Google just released a new update to Google Maps at the following link:

There is no word as to what the new version 2.0.1 brings to the table that version 2.0.0 did not but as I said this is mostly for the version [...]

Josep just found a new version of Google Maps that is available for BlackBerry devices. The new version can be downloaded either by going to Google’s mobile site or by using Google’s new Updater application that we mentioned before.
I have just installed it on my BlackBerry 8310 and here are my first impressions. This [...]

Josep just found a new Google Updater application that allows you to install all of the Google applications on your BlackBerry from one location. The new application does not bring all that much more to the table and this is not the first time that Google has tried such a thing. The new part in [...]
