This is a very cool program. I actually like the layout of the screen better than the web version. My blog is a text only blog at this point, but I tried posted and it was incredibly easy to both post and edit the post. That is what I look for in a blogging tool. This app is smoking cool and it is about time. Maybe Blogger will write one to keep up.
I give it 4 out of 5 stars.

Xing, has launched a new app for BlackBerry smartphones. The free download will enable more than 7 million business professionals connected over 146 million times worldwide on the platform to access their personal network directly from their mobile devices. The app keeps track of all the user's contacts; phone numbers and email addresses are always available wherever they are, and automatically updated online by the members themselves.
The "What's new in your network" feature lets mobile users stay up-to-date on all the latest developments in their personal network, as well as enabling them to keep others informed by posting status messages of their own. Private messages on XING can also be received and replied to from wherever the user happens to be.
Another highlight of the free XING app is that it synchronizes specific contact data on XING with the users' address book contacts on their BlackBerry smartphone. People on the move can also call or email contacts in their network directly using the XING app.
Up-to-date contact details on the go with XING
"One of the top requests from XING members is for better mobile access to the platform. XING members want easier and faster ways to access and communicate with their XING contacts on the go, wherever they are. The new XING BlackBerry application is a key milestone in enabling increasing numbers of business professionals to use a mobile version of our platform with even greater ease and convenience. We will continue to improve the application based on our members' feedback. On a personal note, I'm thrilled that we have now released in two consecutive weeks applications for two of my favorite addictions: Twitter and BlackBerry," said Jason Goldberg, Chief Product Officer at XING AG.
In addition to English, the XING app supports German, Spanish, Turkish and Italian. The app can be downloaded for free directly to the user's BlackBerry smartphone by simply by visiting the XING mobile website. The appropriate version is automatically detected and then displayed for download on the login page. The XING app requires an Internet-enabled BlackBerry smartphone running OS Version 4.2.1 or later with at least 64 MB internal memory and 170 KB of available memory.

DavidB let me know about Mediafly and I was suitably impressed. The app is in beta for the BlackBerry and lets you select podcasts you wish to listen to on your BlackBerry. These podcasts will automatically stream to your BlackBerry. If they do not have your favorite podcast listed you can add your own custom channel.
Note: Currently the app only supports the Bold, Curve, Pearl, & Storm devices. You also need to set your APN sometimes to get it to work.
You can pick up the app from your BlackBerry OTA at www.mediafly.mobi

Uberman let us know about this new solution for tracking and logging your emails and phone calls on your BlackBerry. The app stores this information along with any notes you wish to add and emails you a weekly activity report from your device.
Features:
Automatically logs your BlackBerry phone and email activities
Allows you to add notes to your BlackBerry activity log
Automatically sends a daily or weekly log to your email.
Report includes:
Time
Duration
Type of Communication
Activity Details
The app is totally free and is supported by advertising on your weekly report. The solution works pretty well but I am not sure if the logs are also stored on their servers. From their FAQ it looks like they are not but it makes me wonder how the reports are generated if they are not… I sent them an email asking and will hopefully hear back soon since that may be a security risk.
Check it out at www.blacktracklog.com and let me know what you think!

TuneWiki Pro and Free ad supported versions have been released via BlackBerry App World today. The pro version will set you back $4.95 and does NOT include any ads, but for those who do not want to pay the $4.95 can download the free version can be had as well.
TuneWiki is a media player which scans your music library for content and then allows you to listen to your music using the app, but the real purpose of the application is that it will help you learn the lyrics to your favorite songs as well as since they are displayed across the screen while your music plays. Yes, thats right -- no more making up lyrics for songs anymore. You know you did it, The Rolling Stones Beast of burden will no longer be "everyday a pizzas burnin" ... you will now know the right lyrics.
On top of the lyric integration it also allows you to to share and update what you are listening to with all your Facebook and Twitter friends although, dont blame TuneWiki if you lose some followers for excessively sharing all the bad music you thought no one would ever catch you listening to ;)

I told you about Viigo's update a bit back that added podcast support and more. The problem is that it introduced a few performance bugs along with a really annoying slowdown every time you wanted to Mark Prior Opened.
Viigo just released version 3.1.330 which fixes these issues. The only problem is that Viigo has now bloated to a 1.2Mb download! That is crazy considering that the Gmail app is just 440kb and Google Maps is 700kb. Not sure why but I hope that size is cut down in future versions. It is good to see that they are working on fixing performance issues along with introducing new features. Keep up the good work Viigo!
You can pickup the latest version OTA and from your desktop at www.berryreview.com/viigo.

The main words used on the menu are : enviar, guardar, Ayuda, Acerca de, cancelar, and the Translation are as follow enviar = Send, guardar = Save, Ayuda = Help, Acerca de = About and Cancelar simply means cancel, bet you knew that one right.
The main features of this application are:
Zonasnap added as an menu item
Send snap of your screen without saving straight from the screen as email, or to Photobucket
or Simply save to SD card under your pictures folder
Can be added as a convenience key
really small in file size about 88kb
When used from the menu it gives you a preview of your screen shot.
OS 4.3+ required
Files saved as jpg format
LED notification and a short vibration to let you know the snap has been taken
To send pictures to photobucket you do need to get a mobile pin that photobucket issues to you and your username it be kind of cool if he could add an option to send to your twitter account. You can download the application OTA or you can follow this link for Desktop Manager Install. Thank you for creating a great application and the best part it is free. To find out more visit this link.
These folks have done a great job updating this software. I found the interface to be fresh and fast. It lets you listen to your own music in the player as well. The channel listing seems to be ok, but has room for improvement, but with the other features, this could easily become a competitor to others as your next Internet radio player. It is not likely to take over as your file music player but it is nice to have it in there. All in all this is a solid program and should be looked at.
I give it 3.5 stars out of 5
The latest beta which is very close to final brings:
Storm supports both landscape and portrait mode now.
Station caching is optional, although I'm not sure why anyone wouldn't
use it.
New Twitter interface added. Tweet a song and it will post a link to the
song on your Twitter feed that any user can click on to be taken
directly to that station on FlyCast to hear it.
8900 is supported
Much more stable
The best feature in my opinion is that it lets you cache radio stations
over your cellular connection and Wi-Fi. If you have a Wi-Fi or good 3G
connection it can cache stations at a claimed 10x realtime. This way you
can get hours of radio on your BlackBerry in a few minutes. It also
means you do not need a constant connection to listen.
To try out the burst caching select a station you want to listen to and
select the FlyBack 2 Hours icon. To verify it is working keep an eye out
on the little yellow/green "cache indicator" line at the bottom of the
player fly by. Once it turns green, that part of the stream is
completely cached and you can jump to the next part of the stream. Try
caching an hour (should take about 5-10 minutes with a good connection)
and then stop playback. Go to My Stuff/Recordings and you'll see 1 hour
of that station cached on your device.
NOTE: Make sure to delete any old version before installing this beta
You can download the app OTA at www.flycast.fm/betabby or comment on
their forums at forums.flycast.fm
elog.com is a simple and non-invasive service. Your website looks
exactly like the email you send and it can serve a variety of purposes.
The email address and the URL are neatly and cleanly tied together. For
example, sending an email to 12329@elog.com is tied to
http://12329.elog.com. By not "getting in the way", it can even be used
to update smaller areas on a larger web page (like updating the
weather/conditions in the upper right part of some larger unchanging web
page).
Currently, the system does not allow for attachments, but the company
has told me that if the BlackBerry community were interested in such a
feature, it would be easy to implement. Is this a feature you would like
to see?
This is an example of the type of website you can currently create. It
took about 10-15 minutes.

RadioBee has been around for quite awhile but originally it did not work
so well on the BlackBerry. They let me know that they just launched
version 1.6 that brings quite a few BlackBerry features to the table so
I thought it was worth a mention. It essentially lets you stream
SHOUTcast internet radio stations to your BlackBerry. While this may not
be as good as Pandora or Slacker there are thousands of SHOUTcast
stations out there. The main downside is that the app costs $9.95
compared to the other free internet radio applications like Pandora,
Slacker, & iHeartRadio.
New features in 1.6:
powered by SHOUTcast
Sound engine built from scratch with no delays
Ability to work on background
WiFi / BES support
Using volume buttons and trackball
support of SHOUTcast stations and Icecast stations
Reliability rating and Playing rating for each station in the database
Bluetooth audio streaming to your car or home audio (BB only)
You can find more info at www.radiobee.com or pick it up in the store at

This is the first in a series of posts covering what's new in the latest
version of Viigo and we thought we'd start with the basics.
Our weather service, which is delivered in partnership with Accuweather,
is one of the most popular services within Viigo. Each day, hundreds of
thousands of people check the weather on Viigo, and we owe them the best
weather experience we can provide.
Earlier versions of Viigo's weather service suffered from a couple of
key issues (1) for cities with few subscribers, collection times were
often long, resulting in the weather being out of date, and (2) for
detailed information, we forced you to open a web page (a slow and
sometimes arduous process).
We've not only improved both of those things, we've actually added some
important features.
Here's a look at the new weather screen for a city (in this example New
York). You'll see live current conditions and a 5 day forecast,
including a summary of the expected conditions.
Clicking on the Current conditions, brings you additional details,
delivered without the need for you to launch an external browser.
For cities within North America, scrolling down further will get you a
live radar image, so you can see what storms might be approaching.
If you want more detailed hour by hour results, just click on the link
provided, and we'll take you to AccuWeather's live mobile optimized Web
Page.
Note: in order to fully take advantage of Weather 2.0, you'll need to
remove your current weather cities and add the new ones, and you'll need
to be running the latest version of Viigo.

It is pretty subtle but works fairly well as am I'm program. I do like the chat logs and histories. I had some problems dropping off however. Average, I would say.
I rate this a 3 out of 5 stars

Latest updates:
Options reorganized - on BlackBerry devices it's quite common to
separate the application options into various screens - this makes the
options way more organized and easier to understand.
Path entry fields (Startup Path, Thumbnail Storage Playlist Directory)
show now an additional button that allows you to browse in the file
system to make an appropriate selection (in the past this was only
possible via the menu).
Some of the core features that have been maintained are:
BBFileScout is a file system browser for your BlackBerry (including
hidden files)
Create directories, copy, move, rename, or delete files
Zip files or complete directory structures
Extract Zip archives (incl. structures)
Copy and delete complete directory structures
Open all media files (supported by your BlackBerry)
Register additional file types with other (3rd party) applications (if
supported)
Download BBFileScout for BlackBerry devices with OS 4.3+

Podcasts and may new features. Better weather, deals, and Twitter client make this a hot new release
This is the BOMB!!! I had player with this program before in earlier versions, but wow what a difference they have made in this one. I played with it for an hour, sending texts to all my family and friends. I even updated my Facebook status. It was almost perfect in the messages that it picked up.
If you do not know what this program is, you need to download it today. It is a voice recognition program that allows you to do most blackberry function with your voice. Very nice while driving. This is what the blackberry needed and it should be the next bog thing.
I give it 5 out of 5 stars.
Now this is a must have for the Blackberry. I am reviewing the free version and do not know how the radio is but the music player is stellar. It plays video files too! (Provided that they have converted correctly. ) For free, it is a steal but this one would be worth paying for any day.
I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
This is a different type of internet radio program. It is setup more specifically for a person who listens to talk radio. There are lots of preset stations, and they range vastly in topic matter. I like talk radio a lot so this one made the cut on my blackberry. Give it try if podcasts or talk is your thing.
I give it 3 out of 5 stars.
This is another hit program from the group at Shape Services. At first glance I wondered what in the world this program did. But I used it this morning and it was awesome. The program uses the GPS to track a trip. You get the actual stats rather than a map estimate. The were many factors that determine a trip and the time it takes and this is the best way I have seen to keep tract of it. You can even send it to others or show someone where you are, through the software. This is a keeper. Try it and I bet you'll love it.
I give this 4.5 out of 5 stars.
Unless you are one of the lucky people who's device never messes up, you might want to keep this program handy. With the push of a button, you can reboot your device. This can avoid removing the battery so pick it up. It is free.
I give this one 4 out of 5 stars
This app uses your GPS to try to find the places you are looking for around you. It offers a yellow pages but also a white pages with reverse number look up. Find movies too! Really a nice app to have around if you are out and about much. Check this one out in this weeks top ten in the BB app store.
I give this one a 3.5 out of 5.

2. Slacker radio
3. Personal Assistant

This, to me, is the funnest game since Tetris was on the Gameboy in 1990. I love it and can’t put it down. Of course the price is right on it (being free). This is definitely one to check out for your serious playtime on your Blackberry. Get it at http://www.aimproductions.be/titleview.php?title=Bubble%20Popper
\I give it 4.5 out of 5 stars.

This is a cute little application for those twitter fans who really like to follow. For a small application is fairly feature rich. It will let you send a message and receive them. You could also follow all of your twitter friends will ease. I thought the application was great for twitter. Of course it was specific for twitter and I am not a huge user, so it dropped a little for me. Still, it is a solid application with low overhead on your device so worth picking up. Plus the price is right. http://www.tinytwitter.com/
I give it 3.5 out of 5 stars.
This is a nifty little application written by the same company as the Flipside Music player. It allows you to quickly and easily set ring tones on your Blackberry device. There are features that allow you to quickly set them for group or individual's if you are into separate ring tone's. Interesting application but nothing there that really offers life changing features.
I give it 2.5 out of 5 stars
