Cmccrary released a slick new theme using the new Plazmic CDK. He created the same theme in a couple different variations. Different strokes and all. The themes look nice and clean and the blue highlighting actually looked pretty good with a couple of my Backgrounds. Nothing extravagant but still shows off what you can do [...]

Michael Small just let me know that he published 4 different themes created with the new Plazmic 4.5 beta. These themes require OS 4.5 which is a bummer but they look pretty cool.

You can download them at this link but sadly they are desktop manager installation only.

The software is kind of like RIM’s own upcoming MediaSync in that it allows you to sync your iTunes playlists & songs to your BlackBerry. (one way sync only) The difference is that unlike MediaSync this works on a Mac! [...]

Josep let me know about a free theme by Xorphan on PinStack that really shows off the new Plazmic 4.5 CDK. The theme is called X-Blue and is very cutting edge. It has an upside-down “T” of icons on the main page that looks slick. The top bar is nice and simple and will go [...]

Thanks to Tim for sending this one in. ABC Amber BlackBerry Editor is a useful program that lets you edit your BlackBerry contacts in a Backup file. This application is a subset of the BlackBerry Converter application we told you about almost a year ago. The best part is that this version of the application [...]
