PocketDay

PocketDay is an application that combines every useful element of your blackberry into one screen and on top of that adds some extra very useful features like stocks, rss feeds, a sports informer world clocks and weather. Iv only been playing with it for a few days and I'm hooked. Its base price is 19 bucks and up for other versions. Plus the sports feature is an extra 4 bucks a month or you can order it for a year.

You can download PocketDay OTA from your blackberry at the link below. All of the PocketDay applications have a free 30 day trial.

MiniSafe for Blackberry

I found MiniSafe when I found GridMagic. Both applications are made by Simprit who is on the right track to making great and very useful Blackberry applications. Its basically just like password keeper by RIM except it offers more customized. Ex: you can store passwords, credit card numbers, cell phone numbers, calling card numbers, etc... and use a search function to find them all. Plus if there is not a field available for something you want to keep safe you can create your own storage type.

I couldn't find the officially price for the app while browsing from my phone but you can download the trial version ( which is fully functional ) OTA at the link below.

Review: GasBuddy.com & GasBuddyToGo.com

I recently came across the mobile website GasBuddyToGo.com and its parent site GasBuddy.com

Here, you can check gas prices anywhere, anytime from your mobile phone. I decided to take it for a test run while on the run.

The site asks for a city, state or a zip code/postal code to find a gas station but the results returned blank. The only link available was for the home page.

I logged in (Thinking ahead, I registered on the site) and it gave me only 2 gas stations in my immediate area along with the ability to enter new prices. (NOTE: you need to get a login from their PC site in order to post prices from your mobile)

I noticed on the GasBuddy website that there is the ability to text message or email GasBuddy and have the results of up to 5 gas stations sent back to you. The text and emailing capabilities are free services but your phone provider may charge for texting.

I would recommend this to our CrackBerry Addicts only if you want to use the regular website on Opera instead of the mobile website.

Take GasBuddy for a test drive (pun intended) at gasbuddytogo.com from your mobile browser (hey, maybe it'll work for you) or at GasBuddy.com from Opera Mini.

GridMagic Review

GridMagic is a great application. Its extremely efficient and quick, so far I haven't experienced any lag from the program and it offers everything necessary for your excel needs. It can open files directly from your email and can also easily send files via email. I personally am not an everyday excel user but I have used it enough to be able to tell you that this will be a great program for anyone who uses excel on a very common basis. Iv also used E-office which runs for 99.95 USD and also includes an excel program, personally I believe that GridMagic is by far a better and more convenient program then the one included in E-Office. Although GridMagic doesn't offer as many programs as E-Office it runs for only a fraction of the price (19.95) and if the only thing your missing for work on your blackberry is an excel compatible program that's fast and efficient than I have to recommend GridMagic to you. For the quality you can't beat the price. There's a free version and a commercial version that you can buy. The free community version is completely capable of full filling your need but is less efficient and some capabilities are left out that are more for convenience than anything, such as zooming in and out, freezing cells and a few other things. Yet its still a useful tool, free version or not, so be sure to at least give it a try. To download GridMagic OTA from your blackberry browser simply visit the following link.
