So far there hasn’t been any signs that Google will be bringing a Google+ App to BlackBerry. Not to fear SCrApps  has designed a launcher for Google+. After you open the app it will take you to the mobile version of the app to sign in but once you are signed in you will see the full web version of Google+. Now Launcher for Google+ shows as a trial app, and a purchase price of $0.99. Just a little note from the developer the “trial” version is fully functional, and if you want to donate you can “purchase” the app for $0.99.

You can pick up Launcher for Google+ here.

VietNam Game Studio has released another great game for BlackBerry called Shaolin.  Here you get to play as an expert shaolin monk where you go around kicking other ninjas asses.  Here’s the story line:

The legend tells the emperor of the Tang Dynasty that they’re in danger.  Nine Shaolin monks have gone to him but they were captured.  Their freedom and empires’ safety depends on the youngest monk.

And you’re the youngest monk in the game.  So basically you have to fight off the bad guys to save the good guys.  Make sense? Grab it at the PocketBerry Store for only $2.99.

Last time around we saw eBay for BlackBerry update to version 2.0.0.37.  Now the app has updated last night to version 2.0.0.47, being a small bump up in versions.  In this update we see a few new changes (yes there was a change log!) including updates to the navigation bar, tool tips, shippion options, and selling items.  Here’s the full change log:

  • Navigation Bar: shows the currently selected screen and a cursor for when navigating between options
  • Tool tips: now provided to indicate what the icon on the navigation bar is for
  • Shipping Option”: updated so only one option show at first and the user can add more or remove ones they don’t want
  • Selling items: When selling an item, the user is provided with several return options when available

The wait is over at last.  Over the last several months, we’ve been hearing about IM+ taking way too long for approval for the BlackBerry PlayBook.  After getting lots of publicity on RIM ignoring SHAPE in regards to the app pending, it was made clear then that IM+ didn’t meet standards for App World, so the company fixed it and resubmitted it again.  Now at last we see it available.  Check it out at BlackBerry App World today for only $9.99.

You have to admit that white BlackBerry devices just look way hotter.  Everytime a new BlackBerry launches, we’re always waiting to see when the white version comes out.  Phones 4 U is offering the BlackBerry Bold 9900, Torch 9810, and Curve 9360 in white color for pre-order now.  The Torch 9810 we’ve seen in white as AT&T offers the flavor already from launch day.  As for the Bold 9900, we’re only starting to see the device come in white along with the Curve 9360.
