It is in free beta right now but it looks like they will be charging for it in the future since there is a registration page. It just popped up on the radar in the last few weeks and looks like a VERY powerful little tool that takes less than 90kb! There is really no other name for such an app other than an All-In-One utility. <a href="http://static.berryreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/berryaddon1.jpg" rel="lightbox[]" rel="nofollow"><img title="http://www.berryreview.co/berryaddon[1]" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; margin: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="121" alt="berryaddon[1]" src="http://static.berryreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/berryaddon1_thumb.jpg" width="http://www.berryreview.co/179" border="http://www.berryreview.co/0" /></a> <a href="http://static.berryreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/berryaddon2.jpg" rel="lightbox[]" rel="nofollow"><img title="http://www.berryreview.co/berryaddon[2]" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; margin: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="121" alt="berryaddon[2]" src="http://static.berryreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/berryaddon2_thumb.jpg" width="http://www.berryreview.co/179" border="http://www.berryreview.co/0" /></a> <a href="http://static.berryreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/berryaddon3.jpg" rel="lightbox[]" rel="nofollow"><img title="http://www.berryreview.co/berryaddon[3]" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; margin: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="121" alt="berryaddon[3]" src="http://static.berryreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/berryaddon3_thumb.jpg" width="http://www.berryreview.co/179" border="http://www.berryreview.co/0" /></a> You can find the desktop installation files at this <a href="http://www.blackberryforums.com/aftermarket-software/197988-berryaddon-blackberry-handy-tools.html" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.blackberryforums.com');" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">thread on BBforums</a> and there is an OTA link (<a href="http://www.all4berry.com/ota/BerryAddon.jad" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.all4berry.com');" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">OS 4.5</a> | <a href="http://www.all4berry.com/ota/BerryAddon_46.jad" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.all4berry.com');" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">OS 4.6+)</a>.

This is not the biggest upgrade in the beta but I really like the LiveTracker application so I was just looking for an excuse to mention it since the beta started. <img src='http://www.berryreview.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='http://www.berryreview.co/wp-smiley' /> I am not sure how useful the location sharing features will be once BlackBerry Messenger 5.0 is released officially but the tracking features are nice AND FREE! I just wish they would add in cell tower triangulation so it does not always need to use GPS. <ul> <li>Free Download: LiveTracker Mobile is available for free non-commercial use – <a href="http://www.skylab-mobilesystems.com/en/products/livetracker.html#download" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.skylab-mobilesystems.com');" rel="nofollow">download</a>.</li> <li>Free Tracking Server: For storing tracking data we maintain a tracking server – for free.</li> <li>Background Tracking: Start LiveTracker and it sends the GPS location to our tracking server.</li> <li>Automatic Tracking: On device startup GPS tracking can be fired up automatically.</li> <li>Remote Control: Start and stop GPS tracking on your device by sending an SMS.</li> <li>Share Location: Send EMail, PIN, SMS, MMS, Twitter message to your location’s map representation.</li> <li>BETA TEST: Due to the early stage of this application please report any bugs to us.

The fact that a developer has finally decided on creating an app to backup to a SD card or the fact that S4BB is actually working on a cutting edge app. John from S4BB let me know about a new EARLY beta they are working on of an app called DataBackup. I have been asking RIM and 3rd party devs for years to make an application that would let me backup critical information to my SD card. SmrtGuard made a few steps in this direction but the backup and restore options seemed secondary to their anti-theft focus. I used to be able to do this on my old Palm and Symbian devices without breaking a sweat but it was impossible on a BlackBerry.. Looks like the impossible will (hopefully) soon become possible. So far S4BB’s DataBackup app only lets you backup & restore contacts from your SD card but it is a step in the right direction. This is version 0.0.1 so they do not guarantee that it will actually work. So proceed at your own risk! I am just hoping this goes beyond PIM and lets you backup stuff like bookmarks, notes, and other things that desktop manager or a BES collect.

I used to swear by the extremely pricy (~$99) Rove Mobile SSH until Rove STUPIDLY discontinued Mobile SSH in favor of their even more expensive $500+ Mobile Admin product. Until now I have been using the free and opensource MidpSSH which has gotten better with <a href="http://www.berryreview.com/2008/10/09/custom-blackberry-build-of-midpssh-mobile-ssh-client/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">DeltaTech’s custom build</a>. Still MidpSSH leaves me wanting so I have always been searching for an alternative. I have not had a chance to fully try out PaderSyncSSH but I am hoping that it at least buffers input. The current version 0.0.18 is a pretty early build but hopefully it will continue to be heavily developed. <h5></h5>  <h5>PaderSyncSSH Features:</h5> <ul> <li>VT100 Terminal Emulation. </li> <li>Remote command execution. </li> <li>SFTP client. </li> <li>Local file system access. </li> <li>Zlib compression. </li> <li>Bookmark system to manage login details. </li> <li>Encryption of sensitive user data on mobile device using AES-256. </li> <li>Password protected access to the application. </li> <li>Automated one-way file synchronization. </li> </ul> You can <a href="http://www.pader-sync.com/products.html?mobile_ssh_client" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.pader-sync.com');" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">download and read more about PaderSyncSSH at this link</a>. <object width="http://www.berryreview.co/480" height="385"><param name="http://www.berryreview.co/movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9X4umYIm1vg&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="http://www.berryreview.co/allowFullScreen" value="http://www.berryreview.co/true"></param><param name="http://www.berryreview.co/allowscriptaccess" value="http://www.berryreview.co/always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9X4umYIm1vg&hl=en&fs=1&" type="http://www.berryreview.co/application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="http://www.berryreview.co/always" allowfullscreen="true" width="http://www.berryreview.co/480" height="385"></embed></object> <a href="http://www.berryreview.com/2009/08/17/padersyncssh-public-beta-a-much-needed-ssh-client-alternative/" rel="nofollow">PaderSyncSSH Public Beta – a Much Needed SSH Client Alternative</a> Ronen Halevy on "ProOnGo Storm Beta: Easily Take Pictures & Upload Your Receipts" http://www.berryreview.com/forums/topic/proongo-storm-beta-easily-take-pictures-upload-your-receipts#post-660 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 16:14:31 +0000 Ronen Halevy 660@http://www.berryreview.com/forums/ <a href="http://static.berryreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/bbreceipt.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" title="http://www.berryreview.co/bbreceipt" src="http://static.berryreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/bbreceipt-thumb.jpg" border="http://www.berryreview.co/0" alt="bbreceipt" width="http://www.berryreview.co/179" height="237" align="right" /></a> ProOnGo let me know about their current free public beta. They allow you to take pictures of your receipts and upload them to their service for later access. I guess you can already do this with your BlackBerry camera and offload them yourself but this is automated with easier ways to export the images. NOTE: Sadly right now the app only supports the Storm due to its sharp camera but 8900 support is already in closed beta. Just expect it to support 3.2 Megapixel camera enabled BlackBerrys. Right now there are no details on the pricing once it is out of beta other than it will be a low monthly subscription fee.
