bb remote stereo

The BlackBerry Music Gateway is designed to enable wireless transmission of music or other audio files from your device to your home or portable stereo. The BlackBerry Music Gateway uses Bluetooth technology to establish a wireless connection with your device. After you pair the BlackBerry Music Gateway with your device, you can now connect to the BlackBerry Music Gateway when the device is within range of your device (a typical range is approximately 10 meters).

seesmic for blackberry

With the successful launch of Seesmic for BlackBerry earlier in November, the app is due for an update already.  On the brighter side, we actually see some changes in this version.  If you recall, the home scree notification icon would not go away, even when there were no messages.  The glitch no longer exists as it has been fixed!  In addition you can change font sizes to a desirable size you are comfortable with.  Other than that we haven’t seen any major changes just yet as we’re still playing around with the application.  If you see any other changes we didn’t mention, drop us a line below in a comment.

NBA LIVE 10 by EA SPORTS

Take it to the rack as Dwight Howard and other NBA favorites with full rosters from all 30 licensed teams. Run the floor in Exhibition Mode for a quick fix, or play through the all new 82-game Season Mode.  In Season Mode, you can take your team all the way to the finals, making your team the top winner.  For only $6.99, you can have this game on your BlackBerry.

gwabbit free

Gwabbit has made its way as promised to the BlackBerry App World.  Well Gwabbit was already available, but they have just released a free version that of course was too good to be true at first.  So what’s the main difference between the premium and free version?  They both do exactly the same operation in adding contacts from your emails into your address book, but the free edition sends out a message to the person you just added saying that they have just been added using Gwabbit.  It is a bit spammy, but if you feel so pay $9.99 per year for the premium version.

When a stock hits a target price you can set the BlackBerry to vibrate. For detail on the stock all you do is select the stock icon and run it on the homescreen to get more info on the stock.  If you decide to purchase this before December 18th, you can have this app for only $2.99.  Otherwise it’s back up to $3.99 again.  Click the link below to purchase from the PocketBerry App Store or continue reading to check out more features and compatibility.

beetwitt

Poor BlackBerry users.  Too many Twitter clients to choose from.  What to do?  Download them all and see which one situates you best.  Here’s a new Twitter client for BlackBerry that we came across on..Twitter!  The folks who designed it seemed to put this out not too long ago, as we haven’t seen much of any publicity on it just yet.  We haven’t played around with it for long yet but so far it looks very sleek including lots of tabs and options.  The tabs up top include: Home, Mentions, Direct Messages, Timeline, Group, Search, Trends, Favorites, Friends, Options, Help, and of course an exit button.  Most Twitter clients for BlackBerry seem to be very simple and definitely not containing as many tabs as BeeTwitt has.  The app is absolutely free to download and yes we have an OTA link for you below.
