First, let’s thank the guys at Gizmodo for this shot. She looks better with the BlackBerry than I did. We’ve been seeing the ‘Berry Mascot out and about more often, just like the device from which he was birthed. We’re not talking about the costume-making machine. What we’re saying is, BlackBerrys are becoming more of a social device.
Being used to settle bets, checking movie times, and other things are slowly becoming regular tasks on the BlackBerry. But there are app’s that will help you out in social settings, too. So this week we’re asking you: What is your favourite BlackBerry application to use for social purposes? Don’t limit it to IM apps, there’s more to life than instant messaging. This week’s winner will receive a copy of Ascendo’s DataVault. Now THAT’s pretty awesome.
And speaking of awesome…
Thank you everyone for your entries in last week’s contest where we asked what 8-bit goodness you’d like to see reincarnated on your device. Almost 30 entries to sift through, some, as always, were better than others. To some: did you seriously think I’d give you 5 games just for writing one word? Please. We need a little more effort. So, the top 5 BPlay games goes to Patrick for nearly saying that “Bo knows BlackBerry”.
Tecmo Bowl, hands down. That way, Video Bo Jackson could be the greatest video game and cell phone player ever.
Great response. We’ll need you to let us know your PIN# so we can hook you up with your five new titles (including Bookworm – my new favourite). Actually, Mr. Jackson could benefit from Bookworm, too. He could use some new words.
