Astrasync is trying to position itself as the middle ground between BIS and BES. We have mentioned it before because we find the idea very interesting. Currently BlackBerry users have the choice Between email only BIS and expensive BES. They also always had the 3rd option of buggy SyncML which never worked for anybody. [...]

I will start off by saying that this application is definitely a work in progress. I went through all of their hoops to install it and while it did work the screen kept on flashing at me like it was trying to induce a seizure. I am only mentioning it because I hope others might [...]

Now this is a new application idea that I find interesting. Do you know how you get the name of the caller along with the number on your home phone? Do you get many calls from callers that are not in your address book?’

I know I do which is why Privus Mobile is interesting. [...]

PLEASE NOTE: The BlackBerry application did not work for me since I got an error that said: Error starting ZipClip: Symbol ‘playerlistener.i’ not found. I will be keeping an eye on the application as it progresses. Since it is still in beta I am willing to forgive it not working yet. I have written a [...]

BBitusergroup just let me know about this free piece of software created by Ilari Scheinin.

(one way sync only) The difference is that unlike MediaSync this works on a Mac! [...]

I know there are quite a few of you Palm & Windows Mobile users out there who have been waiting for this moment for quite awhile. Iambic is finally bringing Agendus to the BlackBerry OS. The Beta is already available and there are a ton of screenshots to please everybody. Agendus is essentially a personal [...]

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 [...]

More and more software is coming out that seems to be targeted at students. The latest is a piece of software called Cram that lets you create tests/study guides and take them on your BlackBerry.

Its a very simple piece of software. You can either build tests on your BlackBerry or create simple text files [...]

SnapScreen, the on device screenshot utility, recently got a 9.5/10 in a review by Nathan. His two complaints were that you could only save large BMP files in OS 4.2.2 and the long random file names.

You can now save on device screenshots as [...]
