Review - Wordpress Beta Blog App

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.

BBFileScout 1.1

This is a folder based program. It will launch most files to their appropriate location and will even deal with ZIP files. It is small and works with files very well. They have even added a feather to resize pictures.

I haven't done a review in several days and this is a short one, but I did want to let everyone know to check this one out. Definitely worth having around.

I give it 3.5 out of 5 stars. Download

Review - Flycast 2.0

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.

Review - Pin Stack application for blackberry

This is a very nice. It basically wraps a good portion of the Pinstack sight into a very easy to use application. it has tabs for the the most populat news feeds but also can be customized to have your favorite ones as well. It is very fast and allows you to send stories to facebook, email, and many other different ways in just a click or two.

It is fast and free so get it!!

I rate it a 4 out of 5 stars

Review - You Version Bible Software for Blackberry

It is extememely hard to believe that this is free software. It contains full versions of almost all popular versions of the Bible. It is easy to read, easy to find passages, and is stacked full of features. It even has a "read it in a year" feature.

The one place if is lacking is that there is no way to book mark or highlight a passage. Add this and it will be over the top great.


I give this software a 4.5 out of 5 stars. Get this one

VR+ for Blackberry

Now this is another slick program from the folks at Shape Services. It is a Voice recorder and a very good one. It has some great features that your normal voice recorder does not do however. First of all, it saves files in MP3 format (which I love). As part of the package, they give you internet storage to house your recordings if you choose. From the interface, you can email the file so it makes keeping the files very convienient. Finally, they have a dictation service. You can send the file and they will send the text back to you. Very nice.

All in all, I have not seen a more full featured voice recorder on the market. Being a musician, those types of things tend to catch my attention. This is a need to have program if you do not realize it yet.

I give the software a 4.5 out of 5 stars. Download

OtterBox Impact Case for BlackBerry 8300 - Black

This is my first review of a Blackberry accessory. I must say for a carry around or in pocket accessory, Otterbox did make a good Product. I do wish they found someway to protect your screen however. The extract material on the corners and around the device, provides a great amount of protection everywhere else. This was my first Otterbox product, and after receiving it, I would make the statement "It is pretty good".

I give it 3.5 out of 5 stars.

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.

Poynt for Blackberry

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.

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.

Bubble Popper for Blackberry

\

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

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/
