Free Jewish Hebrew Calendar For BlackBerry

The good guys over at Tichnut.de have released a free Hebrew / Jewish Calendar for BlackBerry devices. This update allows you to use the program on 8800 and 8300 BlackBerry devices. There is no OTA install but you can get the desktop manager install at this link. This is really a fringe program but for anybody that ever needs to reference Jewish dates and times this is a must have.
