S4BB has decided to come up with an application that will fill the gap between the native RIM task application and their $49.99 priced NextAction. Their solution was a new application called TaskMaster with a more reasonable price point of $19.99.
I have not managed to find any comparison at all between NextAction and the lower [...]

Empower InstaSpell has been around for quite awhile now but after RIM came out with a free native spell checker I thought it would be irrelevant. Now that I have had a few months to play with the native [...]

Paul sent in a tip earlier that Google Maps has been updated from version 2.0.1 to version 2.0.2. As you may remember version 2 of Google Maps brought us location tracking VIA cellphone towers. This new version 2.0.2 has no changelog (come on Google!) and when I installed it I really could not tell any difference between [...]

The biggest announcement is that the software will remain free but the developer is asking kindly for donations. Another big fix is that the code is now signed so the application can automatically start when you boot [...]

Packet8, one of the big VOIP players, has released a new application for BlackBerry at CES. Personally there are quite a few others already doing this so I did not post about it earlier. The PR rep at the booth promised that the BlackBerry application will automatically recognize your international calls and send them through Packet8 without any call [...]

The image above is the last thing I ever want to see on my BlackBerry Curve. The PhoneBAK Anti-Theft solution we mentioned before has been released and can be picked up for $24.90 from the Bak2U website. The new PhoneBAK software works with every BlackBerry OS except for the Curve but Curve support is [...]

The application is free and just came out with a few Beta fixes that many users who were having problems will appreciate.
