Looks like I let this one slip through my fingers a bit… But hey, better a few hours late than never! 😛 This one is actually an official (can you believe it) OS update from Vodafone for BlackBerry Storm users. That’s right, Vodafone UK has officially launched 4.7.0.141 for the Storm 9500 series. Being ‘official’…
7digital to Offer DRM-Free Music to BlackBerry this Summer
DevelopIQ is getting in on the mobile music scene in a serious way at WES 2009 with 7digital. With a number of music licenses comparable to Apple, 7digital will offer DRM-free music downloaded over the air to BlackBerrys this summer. That alone is pretty sweet, but 7digital’s massive license library has attracted the attention of…
WhitePages Mobile Now Available in BlackBerry App World
At the beginning of this month I told you about the WhitePages Mobile app for BlackBerry that would be arriving in the App World shortly. Sure enough, less than a week later the app is now available. You can pick up a 6-month subscription to the WhitePages app for $6.99 in App World. Official description…
Poynt Adding Reverse Lookup, Restaurant Reservations for BlackBerry
Poynt is one of the cooler location-based applications for BlackBerry out there, currently supporting local search for movies and Yellow Pages, but at WES 2009, they’re showing off new features in Restaurant and White Pages services.

RIM Co-CEO Jim Balsillie Makes Purchase Offer on Bankrupt Phoenix Coyotes
This isn’t the first kick at the cat for RIM Co-CEO Jim Balsillie. He’s tried to purchase and relocate an NHL franchise before. First the Pittsburgh Penguins, then the Nashville Predators… Now, word has come out earlier this evening that he’s put a purchase offer on the bankrupt Phoenix Coyotes (the franchise that was once…
Streaming Podcasts come to Viigo
It’s been a long time a-coming, but streaming podcasts are finally here for Viigo on BlackBerry. Twitter and Facebook integration also got a bit of an upgrade for the social networkers out there. While podcasting is a big step for Viigo, I’m not sure if it will replace PodTrapper as my primary podcast client, it’s a…
RIM CEO: BlackBerry Storm 2 coming soon!
RIM is pushing hard to knock Apple and the iPhone off its pedestal as the most sought-after smartphone in the US. But, if it wants its iPhone-fighting BlackBerry Storm to unseat the iPhone as the gotta-have touchscreen smartphone on the market, RIM is going to need something more than the awkward first-generation SurePress click-screen technology.…
Gwabbit Scans BlackBerry E-Mails for Contact Info, Updates Address Book
One of the cooler products that caught my eye on the Solutions Showcase floor at WES 2009 was Gwabbit. It’s a simple, new app for BlackBerry that scans your incoming e-mail for contact information (stuff usually thrown into a signature), sends it off to their servers, figures out what fields the information would go into…
‘Lakers on a Storm’ Theme for the BlackBerry Storm (of course!)
I watched a bit of the Lakers/Rockets game last night, and was thoroughly impressed and somewhat surprised by the great performance of the Rockets. They downed the Lakers 100-92. It’s on Kobe, it’s on! If you’re a die-hard Lakers fan and carry a BlackBerry Storm, you may want to show your love with the new…
Now Available: ‘Urban’ Theme for BlackBerry 8900, 9000 and 95xx
Gotta love the themes being pumped out by Elecite these days. Naturally, when I came across their new ‘Urban’ theme, I had to make a few comments. The theme features 10 rotating cityscape wallpapers that give your Berry a real ‘urban’ feel. The theme is simple, clean and crisp. Just the way I like it.…
