As I said before I don’t use BeejiveIM but I realize the app is quite popular especially with people who bought lifetime licenses. Tom let us know that they just released Beta 1.9.7 in their forums that adds a whole slew of new features including the much needed OS 5.0 support.
New features from current [...]
While at DevCon I was shown a demo of NBA Game Time and was impressed by watching a game recap on my BlackBerry. The app is really smooth and has some great features like live scores, game summaries, and more. The best part is that the game comes in both a free and $9.99 version [...]
Handmark just released a new service/application called MyAssist. The app and service are intended for busy people who need assistance. I have never used a concierge service myself but I guess some people enjoy their own Mechanical Turk.
Usually we don’t mention these kinds of services but this one has a 7 day free trial [...]
Matthias let me know that his very popular donationware application FileScout has been updated to version 1.5. I had a chance to meet him at DevCon and he told me that he incorporated quite a few suggestions and tips he learned during the conference into this build. This new version is actually the version [...]
I am not sure how many people still use TwitterBerry but Adam @CrackBerry noticed that they changed their name to OpenBeak. I was just reading the latest issue of Laptop Magazine and even they featured TwitterBerry as the main Twitter client for BlackBerry. I don’t think that changing the name of the app was [...]
Chocolate Chunk Apps let me know that they released their English Dictionary & Thesaurus. The coolest part about this app is that the database is stored on your devices SD card so you do not need a internet connection for it to work. That means you have a 26mb database of 250,000 entries and 1.6 [...]
I am not a sports fan myself but I have heard of the National Football Post before. They partnered up with Handmark to release a free BlackBerry application for Pro-Football fans. The app gives you real-time access to NFP sports content, news, and information.
Quite a few of you sent in tips about Automattic updating their popular Wordpress BlackBerry client to version 0.9.0.169. They claim they are almost out of beta and I would have to agree with them. Some of these latest new updates are really slick like the ability to upload videos and the new user [...]
We mentioned Urbanspoon’s service a bit back but they just released a BlackBerry app at DevCon. They sent me an email that their new app lets you choose restaurants near you with a sort of slot machine for picking a favorite.
You just hit the space bar or shake your Storm and it will find [...]
Loopt just announced an update to their application that will add some more uses to their free application. The app will now help you find places and people nearby using background location updating. My guess is that it will always use GPS or maybe even cell tower triangulation in the background to find people and [...]
iblipped is a cool little application/service spotted by Adam @Crackberry that aims to create a user generated coverage map. They provide a free application that measures coverage while using your GPS to find your location. This way they plan on creating a user generated coverage map like you can find at www.iblipped.com.
The app runs [...]
It has been awhile since we featured an fitness app on BerryReview. Newcomer Kanavon Software let me know about their new application RoadRunner GPS which lets you track your runs using your BlackBerry with GPS. The app lets you analyze your workout and give you feedback with information like
Distance travelled
Elapsed time
Average speed [...]
Here is another update from Google but this time it is a bit confusing. When you head to m.google.com/mail it says the version available is 2.0.6 but if you hit the download button it gives you v2.0.7.
Jason let me know about this update on his BlackBerry 9700 and I confirmed this on my AT&T [...]
Looks like Google just put up a quick bug fix for Google Maps. Josep let me know that you can now download Google Maps v3.2.1 from Google’s website. In typical Google fashion there is no change log so its time to play guess what Google fixed!
You can download the update at m.google.com/maps
The team at Widgetlabs let us know that the Vodafone Update Twitter & Facebook client we told you about before has been updated to version 2.0.1. Its a pretty solid Twitter client, though not the most powerful, but its nice to have options.
The new version 2.0.1 adds:
Copy & Paste
AutoText
BIS Connections
We mentioned Aloqa a bit back when it was in beta but it was limited to the Curve 8900 and Bold 9000. Now the app is out of Beta and is available for a broader range of devices including the Tour, 83XX series, 88XX series, 87XX series, and 8520. The app is now also feeding [...]
I have always dreamed that one day an app would come out to let me assign my own shortcuts to the keys on my BlackBerry keyboard. For example, I miss the shortcut to my alarm clock. Better yet I am hoping that one comes out letting you double tap keys to open an app.
Still [...]
Awhile back Rove Mobile idiotically discontinued their very useful SSH app for BlackBerry leaving a big gap for SSH users like me. MidpSSH is great and up but it is limited in its use. We mentioned PaderSyncSSH while it was in beta but now it has been officially released. The price is a bit [...]
Matthias let me know that he has updated his immensely popular FileScout file manager application to version 1.4.1. FileScout is a donationware application that you can download and donate as much as you deem fit. The new version 1.4.1 brings quite a few changes under the hood to make the app more stable and [...]
The popular TweetGenius Twitter application has been updated to version 1.1 and released yet again. I know it was pretty popular when it first launched but now its back with BeeJive’s help and looks better than every.
Features include:
Send tweets
Automatically fetch new tweets in the background
