With the release of Blackberry Bold in many countries, more accessories are coming out. The kind folks at JavoEdge have sent me 2 JavoEdge Skin Cases (Black and White) and 2 JavoScreen 2.0 Screen Protectors(Anti Glare and Ultra Clear), all for Blackberry Bold. You can find detailed product info at JavoEdge Skin and JavoScreen pages. They retail $12.95 and $10.95 respectively. The skin case made out of silicon, it is very lightweight and resistant to dust, unlike many other skin cases I used from other brands. It has all the proper cut outs to access all the device ports/buttons.
Geocaching is an entertaining adventure game for GPS users. Participating in a cache hunt is a good way to take advantage of the wonderful features and capability of a GPS unit. The basic idea is to have individuals and organizations set up caches all over the world and share the locations of these caches on the internet. GPS users can then use the location coordinates to find the caches. Once found, a cache may provide the visitor with a wide variety of rewards. All the visitor is asked to do is if they get something they should try to leave something for the cache.
It looks like it now supports OS 4.5 on the 8000 series devices and support for the media card. The app has a full 30 day trial after which it is $14.99. They have been pretty active with developing this beta. They also have an AMAZING CHANGELOG!!! (RIM could learn a thing or two from them)
This was a big shock to me when this notification went out that BES for Groupwise is finally getting a Service Pack. We will probably see it getting updated straight to Service Pack 6 bypassing service pack 5, however there seems to be SP 5 floating around under the radar. So what RIM will do in terms of there final choice for public release is still unknown.
If you are on the Groupwise release keep a look out for it in the next couple weeks via the BlackBerry.com Downloads page.

After the commercial on CBS this is starting to get old. We are getting advertisements for devices that are not even confirmed by RIM to exist yet… Looks like Time and Gizmodo are betting that an announcement will be made tomorrow. I personally thought they were going to wait until the developers conference.
