Sara sent in this application which has a simple purpose. It lets turn on and keep on the backlight in certain applications. You just specify an application name like messages or Viigo and it will keep the backlight on when that application is open. You can also set the brightness or have it left [...]

Nikolaus let me know that the WSJ branded version of FreeRange that we mentioned previously has been updated this weekend to fix some bugs. Turns out there was an issue with the first release of the reader causing some devices to freeze or stop updating content automagically.
You can pick up the updated version [...]

Larry let me know that last week CallWave announced a slick collaboration tool that includes BlackBerry support. It allows for content sharing & conferencing with any computer and/or smartphone. Most things seem to work on the BlackBerry with the exclusion of video sharing for now. It also has a built in web messenger that [...]

With the popularity of Facebook Chat this was the obvious next step. Turns out that Facebook chat is now compatible with the Jabber protocol meaning that it can be connected to using a Jabber client. This means that BeejiveIM and IM+ should now be able to connect but no promises. If they don’t already work [...]

Taylor and Josep sent me a link to a thread on BBForums talking about the latest version of the Garmin GPS application for the Bold. The thread author, CornerCarver, has nothing but praise for the latest version which is impressive considering how hobbled the original version was for BlackBerry. This might not take off yet [...]
