S4BB sent out an email over the weekend that they have updated their public beta of TaskReports for BlackBerry. TaskReports essentially helps you create reports on how efficiently you handle the tasks on your BlackBerry. Personally I don’t have a need for such an application but I can see some GTD task aficionados interested [...]

Review: Beyza SlimLINE Leather Case
Rating: 9/10
Link: www.BeyzaCases.com
Cost: $33.50 @ BeyzaCases.com
Before reviewing this case, I had never heard of Beyza Cases. Honestly, I’m not really sure how I could have missed them, if their entire product line matches up with this case, they should certainly be getting more attention.

Not that this has [...]

I am not sure how we missed this application, but we are human. Thanks to Frank for bringing it to our attention. Turns out that a small developer, Orion North America, released an application that essentially lets you set a popup email notifier that will let you know when you get an email while [...]

Check it out by pointing your browser to www.blackberrybooks.com and [...]

Otterbox have just made available their new case for the BlackBerry Bold.
I have not got one of these yet but from the looks of the pictures they certainly look to enhance the already slick lines of RIM’s newest baby. They are available in 2 color choices, Black or Yellow and rest assured as soon as [...]

I don’t know how this flew under the radar but Ed @ Brighthand managed to catch it. We mentioned the Agendus for BlackBerry beta back in July but the full version has now been released to very little aplomb. Iambic really needs to do some PR & advertising.

I was just reading a writeup on Flurry by Doriano @ Mashable and thought it was worthy of mention. Flurry has just announced a new free mobile application analytics service for developers letting them know more about their users. I am not sure how intrusive this is to users but the idea seems pretty [...]

Last week MyPoynt updated their application for the Bold with some new features and an cool new user interface. Tom let me know that the UI changes have now made their way to non-Bold devices with the release of v0.9.6. They also added some new options for mapping multiple results in Google Maps. This application [...]
