RIM officially released BlackBerry Mobile Conferencing v3.0 today in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.  For those unaware of this application, it’s designed to make joining and schedule conference calls easy.  Key features include:

• Join Now Button– The BlackBerry Mobile Conferencing app adds a button to calendar reminders on your BlackBerry smartphone that can dial you in to a call with one click. If the invite includes multiple dial-in numbers for different locations, the app can choose the most appropriate one for you (within Canada, the US and the UK only).

• Reconnect – Reconnect with one click if you’re disconnected or need to drop off a conference call.

• Easy Conference Scheduling – You can schedule a conference call complete with conference bridge details directly from the BlackBerry Calendar in an easy two-step process.  To enable this capability, you can set your conference call profile once in the BlackBerry Mobile Conferencing app, including dial-in numbers and access codes, and then simply add the profile as part of the calendar invitation. (The moderator code is kept hidden from participants in the calendar invitation.) Many of the leading audio conferencing systems are supported.

We have written about PINGR disappearing from BlackBerry App World last November; and it looked like RIM had removed the app. Assuming that this app was removed for how annoying it could be, I was devastated, especially since I had paid $0.99 for the app that I could no longer use.

On Twitter earlier this morning I saw a tweet from @kyleizwany had posted how to get PINGR on your BlackBerry, and instructions for using PINGR since you can’t connect it to BBM! With PINGR you can send lots of pings to your BBM contacts. It doesn’t matter if you are trying to be annoying or get in touch with a contact.

Check out how to use the app:

• Launch the PINGR!!! application
• Then its time to change the setting.
• PING gap (ms) :- You can just leave it as 500
• Number of PINGs :- Its up to you 10 or 50 mybe?
• Once all setting is done. Hit the Send PING!!! button and quickly return to BBM and choose the contact you wish to Ping!!!
• Enjoy!

Usually when a new BlackBerry smartphone is close to launching, we see a simulator pop up on the official BlackBerry website.  We have the same scenario here as the new and unreleased BlackBerry Curve 9320 has a simulator online to download.  For those who decide to download, it’s a bit funny of an installation.  You have to download the installer first, then you’ll be rerouted back to your browser for the download, and lastly you’ll have the installer app pop up where you click next-next a bit until it completes.  Visual C++ 2008 is required where you’ll be prompted to download it in the middle of the installation if necessary.  Any way, this is just a OS simulator, so don’t expect to get that virtual hands-on with the device you might be looking for.

EXPRESS, a popular clothing franchise for men and women recently arrived on BlackBerry smartphones.  I’ve been using it for a few months and thought it was worthy sharing with you folks, especially since no publicity has been made about it yet.  With the interactive application, you can shop, check out the full catalog of clothing, locate an EXPRESS clothing store near by, and more.  It’s available for BlackBerry, Android and iPhone.  Click the link below to download.  On a side note, the BlackBerry Pearl and Storm are not supported.

For new BlackBerry devices, Music Store comes pre-installed.  Now for older devices with OS 6 or even OS 5, there is no native music solution.  You could just download the 7Digital Music Store which is pretty much the same thing but it’s not RIM’s native music store app.  Any way, RIM has launched Music Store in BlackBerry App World for many devices- not only OS 7.  Also, good stuff seeing it’s back to 7Digital and not Amazon MP3.  This way the PlayBook and smartphones share the same source for music rather than two different libraries and purchases.

Here’s an awesome tool for developers or those who just like to mess around with code.  Compilr is a free application which allows you to write code right on your BlackBerry PlayBook.  If you want to test out any coding, you can do so on your tablet.  I’m sure people will get creative here and find some cool things to code.  It’s free to download from BlackBerry App World.

Browsing through AppWorld on my BlackBerry PlayBook, I came across Bicycle Bell. Curious I checked out it. To be honest I really like the description the developer posted about the application which reads:

“Tired of slow walkers? Part a sea of human traffic with this handy Bicycle Bell! If you’re in a hurry, whip this out and give it a ring. It’s free! Download yours today!”
