Features from www.2buzz.com:
Create on-the-fly-conferences.
Automatic notification and reminders for participants [...]

The guys at BlackBerryInsight spotted a new 3D navigation software called Navi2Go by 3DVU. It almost looks like a GPS navigation program using Google Maps satellite view.

I know many of you were interested in the free MetrO application when we mentioned the first beta. So I was happy when Nathan told me about an updated beta version that MetrO just released.

Keep in mind this is REALLY not supported by Google since they only support it for the 8110, 8120, & 8130. This is the new voice search version that was released as an experimental version by Google.
One of our readers, Hank, discovered that you can install it on a 8300 or 8800 series device just [...]

Review: BBSmart Alarms Pro
Rating: 9/10
Link: www.blackberrysmart.com
Cost: $15 @ BerryReview Store
This software was mentioned when it was released in May, but I thought that it definitely deserved a full blown review, seeing as it has earned a permanent spot on my 8830!
Alarms Pro is another piece of software that should have been part of [...]
