We let you know about Nic Nac Noe coming to BlackBerry smartphones over a month ago.  The cool part about it is that the game was originally for the BlackBerry PlayBook, as we saw video demos which featured the game, then later came out to mobiles.  Nic Nac Noe is based off of Tic Tac Toe, a game that has been around forever using O’s and X’s to line three in a grid with 9 spots.  The difference here is you have these 3D ninjas instead of the X’s and O’s, making the game a bit more interesting.

While browsing through applications at the PocketBerry Store, I came across an app called Photo Translator by SHAPE Services, the makers of IM Plus. If you recall, we let you know about the free open beta put out for Photo Translator a few months back.  So now it’s official.  Instead of using the traditional translators where you have to type in word for word (and risk spelling the word wrong getting an incorrect translation) you just snap a picture and let photo translator do the rest.

Browsing through the PocketBerry Store I came across an app that really caught my attention. It’s called Lock BlackBerry Messenger by Empower. These guys definitely got it right when they came up with this app – especially since I’m all about my privacy.

The idea is really simple. It password protects your BBM without having to password protect your phone. You can still make calls, send emails or play games on your BlackBerry. I think we all know “that guy” (coworker, boss, friend, kid, etc) who gets a hold of your BlackBerry and wants to go through your BBM list. For all you victims, this is a perfect app for you.

Fortunatus is an application at the PocketBerry Store with the following description:

When you start Fortunatus you will see a picture of a beautiful diamond. You can show this diamond to your friends to show you are rich. It is also possible to chat with your fellow wealthy colleagues whom also bought the program. The chat function shows real-time how many other wealthy people are using the chat function at that moment.

We’ve seen this done in the Apple App Store before, and even at the PocketBerry Store as well.  What’s crazy is that another one has surfaced here called Fortunatus, but at only half the cost of what we’ve seen a while ago.  This application gives you a bit more than the diamond photo.

So I was looking through the PocketBerry Store and I came across an app called Tweeker by Motek.  Motek is well known for a bunch of other apps including Code Muncher, Screen Muncher, and Color ID. Tweeker is built to be the quickest way to tweet; and it does what it says. After inserting your user name and password, you’ll be able to tweet as soon as the app launches. You don’t see time lines and replies, and have to press buttons to update your status. The best part is i set it as one of my convenience key and it makes it even faster to tweet.

I have had a lot of people tell me to get great accessories for your BlackBerry go to shopblackberry.com I had stopped by once or twice. I thought to myself they should make this site an app so you can shop for your device from your device. I think they were listening to my thoughts because they have a shop BlackBerry app available in App World.

I don’t know about you but I am a huge Amazon fiend. Recently I have came across a lot of people who weren’t happy with their BlackBerry because they couldn’t get music, read books, or shop online. I know, you are probably saying “WHAT?!?!?!??!” and giving the same puzzled look like I gave them. BlackBerry of course can do all of that and more. For those of you who never knew or may need a refresher I want to turn you onto 3 MUST HAVE apps from Amazon.

We got the word last week from Sound ID that they launched an application which manages your headset’s settings and features.  EarPrint required the Sound ID 510 headset which we didn’t have at the time.  Now that we got our headset in, we’re able to take a sneak peak at the application and what it does.  So for you curious ones out there who just want to see what’s in the EarPrint app, here it is.

It’s not the latest of the latest from Elecite, but I had to go back and give it a try since I was looking for a new theme.  Polygon caught my eye for obvious reasons, so I went ahead and tried it out.  Let me tell you, this one interesting theme, unlike any other I’ve seen.  The clean screen with a high resolution polygon pattern underneath is stunning in red over the dark background. Yours eyes are drawn to the design because the time and data information are neatly tucked in the lower corner allowing for a full screen. Embedded in the design are 5 icons with fixed applications inside.  Then you have 6 customizable icons to place your favorite applications.  A grey focus highlights each icon as you scroll through them. Click on the lower icon and your basic instant messaging apps are met with your Browser, Twitter, Facebook, and BBM. The gear icon allows access to profiles, options as well as calculator and tasks. There is also and icon for your phone options and another for media needs. I like this one since I’m always listening to music or “listening” to a movie or tv show at work on my BlackBerry Bold 9700. It gives you fast quick access from your home screen. Elecite gave us a star icon to fully customize with 6 applications – your favorite apps right at your finger tips.

What we have here is a nice little Casino game for BlackBerry.  Not to get so much into all the birds and bees, you get to start off with a nice virtual $1000,  play a while and end up a virtual $5000 overdrawn! Don’t worry you can reset the bank at anytime.

What do I think of the game? I really like it, however I found a few things which bugged me. When you press back key you exit the game rather then going back to title menu.  After a week of playing the game I still find myself doing this.  I’m continuously pushing the back key for every day use on my BlackBerry.
