We recently mentioned Unify4Life’s AV|Shadow universal remote & Garage|Shadow garage opener. The guys over at Engadget noticed that Unify4Life has another trick up its sleeve that will be released in April. It is called Game|Shadow and turns your BlackBerry into Bluetooth based keypad and remote for your PS3. It uses a similar interface to [...]
SLG Mobile let me know that their BeamReader PDF reading application with file manager capabilities is now out of beta and has a nice and low price at $19.99. Its major plus is that it maintains the original fonts in your PDF files which includes international fonts. The file manager is also a nice addition [...]
My wife used to have a cool feature on her Sony Ericsson P910a that let her dial 9 of her most used contacts by clicking on a picture of them. Seemed like a pretty cool feature that Apple built on with their iPhone and it was a shame when RIM did not include such [...]
We have heard quite a bit about Unify4Life since WES 2008 but they seem to finally be pumping out some of their products. They have their AV|Shadow universal remote already for sale and now they are pimping their Garage|Shadow garage opening product. Not sure why you would not just carry around the $10 garage [...]
A bit back there was a commercial app called AddToCalendar that let you add an email as a calendar item with a reminder but that application is no longer available. SoundsLikeObiwan missed this app so he created it himself after discussing it in this thread. Since it was based on some code from RIM he [...]
When Larry first let me know about Blip I thought it was related to the BlipSocial beta we told you about before. Turns out I was wrong. Blip (aka BlipPlus) is a yet another Geo-Social application for BlackBerry… Interested yet? So far I have not seen anything new that you cannot find in other [...]
Our buddies over at BlackBerryCool spotted a new application that I found interesting. It is a free downloadable application that helps you find homes for sale near your location. I am not sure how many of you are looking to buy a home in the current market but the idea is pretty cool . [...]
Intellibits let me know that they have released ZipBook for BlackBerry. This simple application stores a database on your device of every zip code in the USA along with pertinent information about that location. Such as the city, county, state, area code, time zone, and more. Sadly the app does not have a free [...]
Nikolaus let me know that MyPoynt has been updated to version 0.9.7 to add some compatibility with new BlackBerrys like the 8900 & 8220 according to Kate at MobileSyrup. Sadly nothing else seems to have changed and I did not notice anything else but let us know if you do find something.
In case you [...]
Ubiquitous Systems definitely won me over with the SocialScope client. I was not much of a Twitter user before but now I actually check and even update my twitter account (@Berryreview). I mentioned the private Alpha launch of SocialScope before but was asked not to post any screenshots. Now that restriction is over and I [...]
I am not sure if you have heard of QR tags before but they are little 2D codes that act like high tech barcodes to link you to certain information. You just take a picture of them with your camera phone and it translates it into a link.
Microsoft just joined the fray with their [...]
James over at IntoMobile spotted a slick new internet camera application called Total Control. I have always been wanting to setup a camera in my apartment but thought it was pointless since I would never check on it. This app might make me change my mind though it really is pricey…
The app cam view [...]
FlyCast has announced some welcome improvements to their streaming audio app that some of you will enjoy. Nothing crazy new for the BlackBerry but enough to really add some functionality.
The Desktop Player Widget
Beginning immediately, listeners can download a standalone desktop player that exactly mirrors the FlyCast mobile experience, with 1000 traditional stations plus 300 “personalized” [...]
A few weeks ago I unplugged my SD card while files were transferring and didn’t think twice about it. That is until I plugged it back in and I got the dreaded Windows Prompt that goes something along the lines of “* Drive is corrupt or unformatted. Do you want to format this drive?” [...]
Kurt sent me an email letting me know that Slacker has released their previously announced streaming radio client for the BlackBerry. I had a chance to try it out for a few minutes and IT WAS AWESOME! The stream started practically instantaneously on 3G. The install is pretty hefty at about 1.1 megabytes but [...]
SkySoft Systems let me know about the release of their 2.0 version of inForm. This application lets you easily create and distribute forms, surveys, databases, and what they call micro-applications to BlackBerrys. It cuts out all the programming and helps you build it. I know you are probably asking the same question I asked [...]
I keep on getting requests from readers to mention if an application is designed for the Storm’s touchscreen. This is because apps that are not compatible either do not work or open up in compatibility mode which sucks… So I thought you would be happy to hear that the very popular FlipSide MP3 Player [...]
Tashanna let me know that BerryBlow has released a public beta of their new EveryHour app. It essentially makes a sound on the hour every hour based on your preferences…
Not sure why you would want such a thing but this is the second app of the sort that I have seen. Sound like something [...]
Tashanna let me know that the free SignalLoc application we told you about previously has been fixed to support the Bold. They also added Google’s API to find the coordinates for GSM cell sites. This app is for the geekiest of BlackBerry users who want to be able to map out the cell phone towers [...]
Nate did a review of JL_Cmder a bit back and gave it our Editors Choice Award so I thought it would be worth mentioning that it got a slight upgrade to version 1.9.1 from 1.9.0. This multipurpose application was created by d_fisher @ Blackberry Forums to completely wipe your device of the OS and [...]
