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 [...]

This application is so absurd that I had to mention it. The good guys at CrackBerry mentioned it and once again I was amazed by the tried and true “If you built it they will come install it.” This is the equivalent of a screensaver for your BlackBerry; cute but useless. I wonder if we [...]

I was just reading a post by Hayden about an interesting service by Moodio. The service essentially lets you listen to most web radio feeds from the native RIM media player application. It just recodes them into low bitrate streams.
From what I can tell this is OS 4.5 only but it may work with OS [...]

I know we mentioned this early last month but the software was not available then and we kind of forgot about it. Harold just sent me a link to the download page and the application actually looks quite cool. Now you can act on those insider trading tips while smoking your cigar at the boys [...]

I know many previous Palm & Windows Mobile users mourned losing SplashMoney when they moved to the BlackBerry. Well mourn no longer!
I was just informed that SplashData has released SplashMoney for BlackBerry. SplashMoney was one of the best finance management applications for Palm and I am hoping the BlackBerry version will be just as impressive. [...]

I guess there was a high demand from Spanish speaking users for PhoneTag but Mexico seems to be first. PhoneTag has just announced that their Spanish visual voicemail service is now available in Mexico along with the US, Canada, & Australia.
You can sign up for the new Spanish service at www.phonetag.com/es
Sadly since the service requires [...]

Josep sent me a link to a post by rpol8052 on PinStack. Turns out that there is a maintenance update available for Documents To Go on OS 4.5. The update brings you up from 1.000.080 to version 1.002.016. No idea what changed other than the addition of Sheets To Go which is a spreadsheet application. If [...]

I was just reading about how spammers are targeting our BlackBerrys for spam. Makes sense since I read (& delete) more of my emails on my BlackBerry.
I then read Stan’s article about the ridiculous Spamlets he has been receiving recently and I cant help but agree. 50% of the spam I get nowadays is pure junk. It [...]

Both Mark & Josep sent me a link that TVersity that we mentioned back in May is now available in their latest Release Candidate. Keep in mind this is not an official release and is just a Release Candidate which is essentially admitting that there are bugs. TVersity lets you stream your media collection to [...]

I am usually the first to throw stones at claims of increased cell phone reception by using devices. Recently I was shown a repeater at work and it actually worked. Then another friend pointed out CellRanger to me:

CellRanger was announced back in March. The idea is that you plug this device into your USB port and connect [...]
