Fed up with getting parking tickets all the time? Most of you get them from forgetting how much time you had left and failing to feed the meter again. The Parking Meter App for BlackBerry makes sure you put enough money in the meter, and will remind you to put more in as it’s needed. Basically, it allows you to keep track of the amount of the remaining time on parking meter and notifies you when time is about to expire. It also records the location where you park your vehicle.
Features:
- Set Meter Time (hour:minute:second).
- Record the detail of location where you parked your vehicle.
- Camera snapshot of the location (for camera supported devices.)
- Choose your favorite ringtone as the alert.

I like rockin’ my BlackBerry naked sometimes. There are moments where an OtterBox is good (I love my Commuter for the Bold 9700), and then other times where I want to enjoy the actual device. Life is short, no need to never miss out on what’s all the way underneath five layers of casing. We’ve seen the Invisible Shield by ZAGG and other clear covers available from other vendors. In reality, this was intended to be a comparison review to ZAGGskins as we haven’t seen those yet and were supposed to have some on hand by now. So since we never received them we’re going to give you the full scoop on Case-Mate’s all new Go Bare which was introduced at CES this year. In my opinion, we were really excited to test out another product similar to ZAGG’s which is very comparable to it as far as quality and “performance” goes.

Not too long ago, BerryWeather launched its 2.0 version which provided a bunch of new features with lots of bells and whistles. A few days ago, we were even introduced to BeWeather which is a freebie weather app based off of BerryWeather. Jill let us know that the folks over at Bellshare are looking for you folks, the Berry users to test out the latest 2.1 public beta version as they have posted on their forum. You’ll be able to download it free but will have to validate your license or else it’s a 3 day trial.

Well we have the new BlackBerry Tour 9650 underway, and being promised to release sometime in the next month or two. But we went ahead and asked representatives at Verizon retail stores (non-corporate) one of which was a Best Buy who stated that they are no longer stocking up on the Tour 9630. Also, BG over at BGR has also heard the same info from Best Buy sources. Could this be a hint that the Tour 9650 is on its way sooner than expected? Perhaps so but corporate Verizon stores are still getting the devices in, says our source, so we’re still not sure what to expect just yet.

Yes the BlackBerry is the best smartphone ever. That’s why you’re here today. But this was an interesting piece of statistics we just got sent. By the general look of it one could assume that the BlackBerry is doing a lot better than the Android and the lousy iPhone. That general assumption is correct. According to Myxer, the BlackBerry dominiates over all as RIM devices are getting the highest amounts of visits to their website over Windows, Palm, Android, iPhone, and Symbian. Also to get even more specific, the BlackBerry Curve is remains to be the #1 phone on Myxer’s mobile site for the second year in a row, making it even closer to 10% of visits in both 2008 and 2009. Continue reading for the full press release from Myxer.

I know, it’s like we’re going on a gaming marathon today, but we can’t help but share with you the best of BlackBerry. Before we get you all souped for the game, make sure you have 5MB of free storage on your BlackBerry. Yes 5MB, I don’t know why. The game is very much 3D and I’m sure you can all appreciate that as it’s been very two dimensional playing most of these BlackBerry games out there. Unless of course you’re on a Storm2 with OpenGL capability. We are proud to announce Zombie Attack for BlackBerry which has been created by the same folks who just released Cliffed.
So any way, Zombie Attack is a really fun game, that you’ll wish you could play it on a bigger screen even on a PlayStation platform. In this game, you’ll play as a survivor of the ultimate Zombie Apocalypse, strategically place weapons turrets to protect your shack and stay alive. So basically Zombie Attack is a tower defense type of game where you’ll have to defend and protect your spot as zombies come up from all over around you.
