Yesterday was just so frustrating.  Too many sites reported the launch of the PayPal app being available at the BlackBerry App World, not linking to it or anything.  Many of us went crazy trying to find a download link as every article said that the application was legitimately available.  Now we are announcing its very official launch and availability over at the BlackBerry App World.  It launched late last night and I’m sure many of you got your hands on it by now.  For those who haven’t and do use PayPal, the application is awesome and you’ll definitely want to check it out.

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.

Earlier yesterday we came across the New York Times mobile application, but only to find out that the new Bold 9700 and the Storm2 are not compatible with it just yet.  Currently the supported devices are the Tour, Storm, Bold 9000, and 8900.  So yes, we had to dig out our BlackBerry Tour 9630 to test out the application.  So far so good.  The app acts very responsive and has a nice layout to it.  Get all your news live on the New York Times App for BlackBerry.

It’s not your average online auction bidding application as this here applies to actual auction houses (one of the finest says BBD).  In the app you can search auction catalogs, place absentee bids, access archived auction data, and get the opportunity to read the latest art, antique, and auction news anywhere you are via BlackBerry.  The application is absolutely free to download for everyone.  We got an OTA link below in which you can download over the air or scan the barcode displayed and download that way.  The choice is yours.

YouMail has just announced a new service called DropBox which is a free service that basically allows users to integrate VoIP (voice over IP) and PBX voicemail with your cell phone voice mail.  To have this work for you, your VoIp or PBX provider MUST be delivering voicemails via email as MP3 or WAV files.  Every YouMail customer has a DropBox at myphonenumber@my.youmail.com ( For Example: 8881234567@my.youmail.com) where ‘myphonenumber’ is your 10 digit phone number that is currently associated with your YouMail account.

So how do you start using YouMail’s DropBox?  If you receive voicemails delivered by email from another service provider, simply go to your current voicemail system’s configuration pages (ie. Vonage), and change the e-mail address the voicemail goes to. The new email address should be directed to your DropBox. YouMail will take care of forwarding any necessary confirmations of your new e-mail address.

Besides the BIS enabled features now within WordPress there have been quite a few other changes.  Now there’s added support for the “more” tag in both pages posts.  Also there have been tweaks to the UI which was based on user feedback.  Many error messages have been eliminated as well according to the update report.  In addition, this may not affect you but the app will work even when the device memory has encryption mode on, which again might not apply to you to begin with.  In any case, the OTA download for the new update is now available for download.
