A bit back I cam across a really random BlackBerry application and thought I would share it with you. I have to put up the disclaimer that I have never tried it myself since I don’t really listen to the radio since my commute is underground. The application idea is really cool.

Link: tvguide.handmark.com
OTA: tvguide.handmark.com

Josep sent me a link to a funny application that I had never heard of before. The app is called FoodieMotion and seems to offer you some recipes on your BlackBerry. Personally I think the $39.95 a year fee is a bit high for such an application but the idea has promise. I would be [...]

I know there are quite a few of you out there using the free xPlayer multimedia player from SHAPE so I thought I would mention this. They have released an update this week to fix a few bugs in the media player. One of the big fixes was the annoying issue where the backlight would [...]
