Get a lot of emails? Tired of not knowing who messages are from without opening the messages folder? Well Aerize can help. Aerize alerts is an application that will notify you via a pop-up notification on your screen. The thing I love about this application is that it displays a photo of the sender if their picture is stored in your contacts. I’ve been using the application for about 4 days and it’s a must have!
Aerize Alerts is available for pretty much every Blackberry and the app is very small at about 38KB so no need to worry about installing a memory hogging application.

There is a rumor going around that the BlackBerry Storm 2 will be hitting Verizon this September. The next version of RIM’s touchscreen device will have WiFi which should be really helpful to the various apps coming out for the device.
The BlackBerry Storm’s touchscreen is apparently getting improved as well. I’m not sure what the improvement is yet, but if I had to guess, I would say it won’t be anything revolutionary but more evolutionary. I’m personally expecting more of the same functionality but slightly improved.
