BlipSocial is a bit hard to describe. Kevin @ CrackBerry did a decent job so I thought I would take a crack at it. Essentially it takes a few applications and adds your location awareness to the mix. It works with or without GPS but obviously it is better with. I have not tested it [...]

I know we mentioned this early last month but the software was not available then and we kind of forgot about it. Harold just sent me a link to the download page and the application actually looks quite cool. Now you can act on those insider trading tips while smoking your cigar at the boys [...]

I know many previous Palm & Windows Mobile users mourned losing SplashMoney when they moved to the BlackBerry. Well mourn no longer!
I was just informed that SplashData has released SplashMoney for BlackBerry. SplashMoney was one of the best finance management applications for Palm and I am hoping the BlackBerry version will be just as impressive. [...]

I guess there was a high demand from Spanish speaking users for PhoneTag but Mexico seems to be first. PhoneTag has just announced that their Spanish visual voicemail service is now available in Mexico along with the US, Canada, & Australia.

RIM should have given us this option [...]
