Applico has released their NYC Transit application for BlackBerry. The application allows you to check multiple schedules, including those for the New York waterways, Metro North Trains, New Jersey Transit buses and New Jersey Transit trains.

With Applico’s BlackBerry app, you can see schedules without a network connection because the schedules are downloaded locally to your BlackBerry when you install. The app will even remember your last route traveled, in case you forgot how to get where you were.

Download the NYC Transit App from your BlackBerry browser.

[ED NOTE: Sorry, this app isn't free. It's $5. Thanks for sending in the update. Also, this app is geared towards commuters so it won't be too helpful for local residents.]

best buy blackberry

Best Buy is offering some great deals on BlackBerry devices with the launch of their Best Buy Mobile stores. Best Buy Mobile will be a store within a store, offering the best mobile products at a discount.

The BlackBerry Storm on Bell will go for only $49.99 on a 36-month plan.

The BlackBerry Curve on Virgin Mobile will go for $49.99 on a 36-month plan. This is a great deal but it’s important to note that it has been free at WirelessWave for the past 2 months. Although it is technically priced at $99.99, they have an in-store promotion to make it free, with a 50 dollar credit on top of that for accessories.

For more great deals on BlackBerry devices, check out the BlackBerryCool hardware store.

rim-onyx-att

There is a lot of hype surrounding the upcoming BlackBerry Onyx which is now unofficially confirmed on AT&T, along with the BlackBerry Onyx. The Onyx has been given hands-on review but the Magnum is still out there and has not been caught by the Internet yet.

So far, we know the BlackBerry Magnum is going to be an evolution in the BlackBerry Bold 9000 series. The device is rumored to have an HVGA touchscreen, QWERTY pad, quad-band GSM / GRS / EDGE, GPS, and WiFi.

Another unconfirmed device heading to AT&T includes the next generation Pearl which will pack 3G, 3.6 Mbps of HSDPA, Bluetooth, 3.5mm headset jack, trackball and SureType, and aGPS.

Finally, we’re expecting to see the BlackBerry Gemini roll out with a 512MHz processor, 256MB flash memory, 128MB RAM, Bluetooth, QVGA LCD, 2 megapixel sans flash, trackball, QWERTY keyboard, 3.5mm headset jack, a microSD slot, possibly GPS, and sadly, no 3G.

Which one would you like?

Ro9 BlackBerry app

5o9 is getting ready to launch their free software that integrates location, device and user information directly into the browser so it can be shared with any web site.

The app also integrates 6 search engines into the browser. The first one, is the 5o9 search engine which is powered by True Local out of Canada. The company has built in a geocoding engine so you can send it GPS and it converts it to zip code (US only) and then returns the search request. You can also use the major search engines such as Google and Yahoo.

stitcher

Stitcher, a free media/podcast player is currently available on App World and is compatible with the BlackBerry Curve 8300, 8310, 8320 and Bold 9000. It is currently available for AT&T and T-Mobile customers but does not yet support the Curve 8900. The company has said it will be just a few weeks until the device is supported, which is great considering the Curve 8900 has just arrived on AT&T for $199 after a $100 mail-in rebate with a new agreement.

Features:

  • Listen – Stream the best podcasts, radio shows and other great audio to your mobile phone.
  • Customize – Stitch your favorite programs into personalized, on-demand stations.
  • Discover – Find new shows you’ll love in Stitcher’s stations, or let Stitcher recommend shows to you based on your preferences.
