Mobiola xPlayer Live Radio and Podcast Support

I went into this review planning on reviewing the Radio features of the software, but had a pleasant surprise to find that they have added podcast support. The Podcast support is very well done and has a good listing of podcast's to chose from. I found the podcast listing to be a much better feature in the software than the radio features. The listings were well done and easy to navigate while offering most of the common podcasts that fans look for. The radio list was not even close to as good as this list. They did offer a pretty good sized list, but it was not well formatted in my opinion and none of the one's I like did I find to be on the list (the best that I could tell). I have already reviewed the player software and it is supreme. For radio features however, it is lacking. All in all it is probably the best well rounded software on the market, I just looked for more with the great job they have done so far with their player software and now their podcasting. However, if you are looking for player software, it is a nice feature to have added.

I give the Player as a whole a rating of 4.5 stars out of 5 Download

vLingo 3.0

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.

Mobiola xPlayer

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.

Stitcher Radio

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.

GPSed

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.

Opera Mini 4.2

There have been a lot of opinions stating that this is great. I must admit, for most browsers. The experience is a little friendlier. The interface is nice and Zooming in and out is nifty. I just feel like a browser with that much power would have more “big” features to offer. We still wait for flash player and the fact that it actually kicks out to the Blackberry browser for Youtube and some other things, just turned me off from using it as my main browser. Neat is just not enough for a hard core user.

I give this a 2.5 out of 5 stars.

IM+

This is another killer application from the folks at Shape Services. (http://shapeservices.com) . It has about every feature you could want. Windows Live, Yahoo, AIM. It does them all and it does them well. It also does Facebook chat. That was super cool to me. I could look at the little picture icons of my friends and see if they were on line or not and chat with them without even open Facebook on my computer. The same thing applied to twitter. Skype, no problem for these guys!!

The bottom line is that I loved this application and plan to follow these guys for years to come.

I give this application a 5 out of 5 stars. Download

Tiny Twitter

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/

Ringo

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.

Weathereye for Blackberry

This product is a real winner. It shows an icon on the screen of what the weather currently is, then if you put the mouse over it, it will give you a short version of the weather. All that and you still have not entered the program. Most days that is enough for me to know the weather, but when needed other forecasting, I just enter the software and it gives me all the coices I need. Today's, Short term or Long Term forecasts. You can exit the software easily as well. This is perfect for someone who is really on the go.

If you want something quick and easy, use this software. If you want weather maps or more detailed informations, then use the web or something else. I would rather go quick and use this. I would rather it 4 out of 5 stars. Download

Facebook 1.5 Application for Blackberry

This application started as a week attempt to get Facebook onto the device, but they have really made it into a feature rich application. You can reply to people's comments on you status, send pictures,m or set you status strait from the software.

I find that I use the device to see the "general" items of the day, but at night I log into the computer and get caught up on my facebook. There is way too much stuff missing from the application to make it a real usable item. They are constantly making it better and now I use it constantly, but it is still missing some real important items.

Where is the news feed page that everyone uses on facebook? It is very difficult to see when others add photo's as well.

I give this application a 3 out of 5 stars but I am certain more fatures are coming. Keep looking for new stuff on this one.

Viigo

To me, this is the best piece of software on my device. I have used it over a year now and they have reinvented it two to three times. The program is quick, solid, and easy to use for anyone.

Viigo is a newsgroup reader that offers a preset group of news feeds but will allow you to add you own. The offering they have though has filled every need I have had and there has been little need for me to add anything they did not already have in there.

They also have made special news feeds such as sports and weather that allow you to see specific information in an easy to use manor. Flight information and stock information as well. They are adding podcast and audio feeds as well in their alpha release of the next version.

The bottom line is that this product is solid as a rock and everyone should use it daily. I am an avid Blackberry user and I consider it my favorite program, including mail!

I rate this 5 out of 5 stars Download

EOffice Review for Blackberry

This is a review that is somewhat bitter sweet. The purchase of the items caused some corperate confusion which lead to a two week delay in receiving my software. The software was located on the Quickoffice.com site so but accident, they order the Quickoffice suite. Once realizing the mistake, we tried calling (which was impossible because there seemed to be no line with a real person). We did manage after many tries to get a credit and purchased the correct software.

The office suite is quite rich in feature, but I found it to be somewhat unfriendly. I still have not figured a way to hook it o my Google Mail account. The interface is complicated to say the least. The functionality however, is second to none. These guys have an awesome spreadsheet and word processor. eFile, whcih comes with the suite, give you a lot of the file functionality that RIM left off on the Blackberry. It is rich featured but keep the help PDF handy because the program is complicated to understand.

All in all, I would still say it is a good product, but surely someine out there makes a much easier office suite. Nice try guys but please work on the interface.
