Wizi does not seem to be new but it looks really interesting. Location sharing and proximity alerting applications seem to be all the rage these days. The application lets you share your location and avoid traffic with real time traffic alerts.
I can just imagine the uses ranging from knowing where your kids are to when your friends [...]

Funny how OS 4.5 has not even been “Officially” released and developers are already supporting it. Ani just let me know that the Empower Pro HTML Email viewer is now compatible with OS 4.5.
Point your BlackBerry browser to www.getempower.com to pickup the latest version. Or you can pick it up in the BerryReview Store for [...]

First there was SpinVox, then there was SimulScribe/Phonetag, then callwave, the latest contender is GotVoice. Everybody has their favorites but I personally love PhoneTag. Now there is a new contender.
GotVoice has the same core voicemail to text functionality but they have added a few twists. First of all they have a funny thing called Talking Avatars where [...]

James on CrackBerry spotted this Gem of an application. I just can’t explain it any better than the developer. I cant count how many times I have seen people just mad at their BlackBerry for not ringing and giving them an excuse to get out of a meeting. This is your solution. Its also a [...]

Lindsay kindly commented on our Loopt post about a new application that I have never heard of before for the BlackBerry. The application is called Where and is a bit hard to find the BlackBerry support on their site. (BuddyFinder seems familiar for some reason…)

WHERE is [...]

These are not new applications but I have had a few questions recently that I think these applications will solve. Metsfan released these applications last year to solve 2 problems with some Blackberry devices. Keep in mind the developer has posted that SoftReset does not currently work with OS 4.5.
AutoLockAutoLock automatically locks the BlackBerry keyboard after [...]

One of our readers, Tom, just sent in this great free application. The application was designed to save paper at the behest of the developers daughter who was concerned for the environment. I guess we can all thank Mara for this freebie.
MaraTick Features include (Requires OS 4.0+):
Checked off items are automatically pushed down to the [...]

Personally I am not the biggest fan of TaskMaster but I know a few people who use the application. They have improved the application a bit, especially the user interface. S4BB has also released an interesting new application that helps you add a task in 2 clicks. I have to see how this works but [...]

I know that there is Notifire and Webmessenger but AlertMatrix is a newcomer to town. I just read on BlackBerryGTD that it has been released. It allows you to setup alerts for your calls, sms, & email so that you can be alerted differently for each from different senders. The best part is that it [...]
