I actually never really got into the tower defense game craze. I know they have been very popular on the iPhone but usually only the simple games work well on Blackberry right? When I put together a list of Blackberry tower defense games I was very surprised by what I ...

Whether it’s in your home town or while on vacation we’ve all had that little debate with our significant other about where to eat. In my opinion both sides usually have a preference but almost always both say ‘I don’t care’. If you find yourself in this sort of bind there is a unique and very simple Blackberry app to help you out, it’s called Urbanspoon. There aren’t many fancy features or options but it will pick a restaurant in the area in a fun and original way.
Who wouldn’t want to be able to access their bank on the go? For me, access to my bank information is essential because I am terrible at keeping track of transactions, I blame it on the debit card. Anything that I can connect to and do on my Blackberry instead of my PC makes me happy. What makes me sad is that connecting to banks on the go for many users is challenging or impossible.

I don’t expect every bank in the world to go out and make an app but I really hope more of them start creating mobile websites where users can log in to check their accounts.

It is a very simple concept but very useful to read easily and avoid hoping from site to site and multiple pages. I found some of the best free ways to read your RSS feeds on your Blackberry with some simple apps and also more robust ones. Continue Reading..
With the release of the Torch and Blackberry OS 6 RIM has announced a native podcast application for new and current models. I spent a few minutes making a video walk through of how the app works and some of the features. If you use the Blackberry App World a lot you will be right at home with Podcasts because the functionality and theme is pretty much the same.
First off let me start off by saying I gave WordPress for Blackberry a second chance. I wasn’t extremely impressed the first time around but there was an update out and my Blackberry is my only blogging tool on hand right now. I am in the Washington DC area for the weekend with my fiance [...]

I can’t imagine there are many Blackberry users that don’t use Blackberry Messenger but a fairly new feature in BBM that is definitely under utilized is Groups. The basic idea of the Groups feature is to have a chat group where multiple people can have a BBM conversation together at the same time. I don’t [...]
One simple but helpful thing a Blackberry can do for you is tell the weather. Most other smartphones have a built in function for this but surprisingly Blackberry does not (might be changing in OS6). This can easily be solved by picking up one of the free weathers apps that are readily available for Blackberry. [...]
