BlackBerry App World lets you personalize your BlackBerry smartphone with tons of great apps that let you do more with your time while you’re on the go. You can download BlackBerry App World from your desktop computer or your BlackBerry smartphone at no cost. Purchasing apps from BlackBerry App World requires a PayPal® account.

Here are some screenshots of the amazing official BlackBerry App World!

To download: Go to http://www.blackberry.com/appworld/download from your BlackBerry Browser

So what’s new?  We see Shazam with full BlackBerry support, not to mention completely free as well!  It was a great suprise as we heard rumors about it releasing for BlackBerry.  All along they were waiting to release it with the App World.  Definitely was worth the wait.  The layout of the App Store definitely beats any other that we have seen.  The time is very responsive and there is very little loading time.

Stay tuned tomorrow for more updates as we continue to play with this through out the night..

verisign-identity-protection-mobile-center

phone_bb

Here’s some interesting news from VeriSign.  We now see a identity protection software (available free for download at the moment) for BlackBerry devices.  Read below for more info provided on the VIP program provided by VeriSign.

The VeriSign Identity Protection (VIP) Developer Test Drive makes the powerful functionality of the VIP Authentication Service available to developers by exposing the APIs in a pilot environment. By using the VIP Authentication Service API, available through a free download, developers can quickly evaluate how easy it is to enable their own applications for two-factor authentication using the VIP Authentication Service.
VeriSign provides developers who register for the VIP Developer Test Drive with access to the pilot VIP Authentication Service, API documentation, and software credential simulators to generate security codes.
The VIP Authentication APIs are based on industry standard SOAP Web Services, making it extremely simple to integrate into a wide variety of platforms and development environments. The VIP Authentication Service has a user-friendly experience; once the user successfully signs in with their username and password, the VIP Authentication Service validates the unique security code generated by the user’s credential.

earth2

Giving your phone a little Macintosh effect, the Earth Theme keeps your BlackBerry Storm fashionably stylish.  You’ll see icons from the iPhone as well as the famous Mozilla Firefox.  The background is a nice mellow picture of the Earth from space.  If you’re looking for a simple theme for your Storm that doesn’t have a lot of tack and bright flamboyant colors to it, this is perfect for you.

Special thanks to revolatin86  for this great theme!

blackberry-training

It looks like Skype will finally be releasing its official version for the famous BlackBerry device we all own.  The iPhone of course gets it before us which is fine given that it’ll run as a beta for them most likely.  I’d rather wait and have a working solid Skype app.  

The Skype app will be free of use on all BlackBerrys.  If you’re Skype calling from your phone to any other Skype account whether it be PC or mobile, it is completely free.  Many people in the US are starting to get into the Skype spirit, but putting this app on the BlackBerry (even the iPhone) will increase the amount of reliance and usage of the great program.  Video chatting is still up in the air, but I won’t get too excited for it until we see or hear something official.

yellow-pages-canada

Yellow Pages Group, Canada’s leader in local search, developed the user-friendly application that lets consumers search for local businesses and services using a BackBerry smartphone and gives YPG’s more than two million Canadian online business listings access to the growing number of BlackBerry subscribers.  A lot of local yellow pages applications were targeted too much for US users and left out Canada.  Given that BlackBerry lives in Canada, this app has every right to be there and should have so long ago!  At just one day before the BlackBerry App World launches, we are seeing this free app which may be included in it as well.

slacker-logo-white

Slacker announced today the addition of song lyrics to their famous Slacker Radio Plus.  So what exactly does it do?  It’s pretty neat actually.  It provides music lovers with the ability to read and sing along with the words to their favorite songs.  I haven’t heard of any other services that do this for your BlackBerry.  Last time I checked, you had to go to a karaoke bar or look up lyrics online!  Slacker Radio Plus is an upgrade offering which gives listeners access to all the features of the free Slacker Basic Radio service, plus advanced features including the ability to skip an unlimited number of songs, unlimited song requests, ad-free listening and now full song lyrics provided by LyricFind.
