We wanted to see what BlackBerry content we could have on the Apple iPad, but there wasn’t more than just loading up the websites (RIM.com, BlackBerry.com, etc).  So I decided to check out the iBook store and see if there were any BlackBerry books available as we’ve seen them on the Kindle and Nook.  So what comes up for BlackBerry? First in line was the one book Obama’s BlackBerry.  We told you all about this book almost a year ago and even had a giveaway for it right here.  So if any of you didn’t pick up a hard copy of Obama’s BlackBerry, and do have an iPad, check it out today.

Obama’s BlackBerry is basically a bunch of phony conversations Obama has with other people such as George Bush, Sarah Palin, McCain, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and many more people.  It’s just for laughs and is not to be taken serious whatsoever.  The book goes for only $9.99, as that is the price for the hardback book as well.

There’s not much to say here other than you’ll have to try this bad boy out for yourself and see how it works.  Pretty much you have five predefined icons: messages, sms, calendar, phone, media, and browser.  Then right underneath it, you’ll have five customizable icons of your own choice which is pretty cool.  The battery and signal meters are both at the bottom as bars where the clock stands flat out in the middle.  As I am not a huge fan on third party themes, I will be rockin’ this for quite a bit.

Who remembers the I Love BlackBerry application? This one’s just like it, but makes things a bit more interesting.  Your stats will be put up online to compete with Berry addicts like you all over the world.  Just as a pre-warning, the application does tend to bring you down as it let’s you know all the time in minutes that you’ve spent on your BlackBerry.  According to Matt over at BlackBerry Cool, this application is Rodrigue Hajjar‘s first written BlackBerry application, so support your BlackBerry developers and try out this app today.  MobHolic is $2.99 over at the BlackBerry App World.
