While Christian Bale, Will Ferrell and Optimus Prime headline the summer blockbuster movies, actor Michael Papajohn is grabbing the Twitter spotlight in these films. The supporting actor is appearing in Terminator Salvation, Land of the Lost and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and is tweeting live mobile pics at the red carpet premieres and on-location movie shoots.
Along with Michael, SnapMyLife is seeing other celebrities using their free BlackBerry application, Snap2Twitter (Whitney Port, Snoop Dogg). Each is just like Michael, regular users looking for the easiest way to tweet mobile pics.

Regular readers of BlackBerry Cool will know that we have featured a cool new app / service that allows you to tag and allocate your mobile calls so that you can bill more, recover more costs, and make more sense of your phone bill. It’s called momentem, and last week we interviewed their President, Terry Hughes.
The company wants to give back to the community and are offering 100 BlackBerry Cool readers the chance to get a whole year of access to the full momentem service for free. The great thing about this contest is everyone who enters wins. Those not lucky enough to be in the 100 will still get a copy of the free version Call Time Tracker.
Call Time Tracker is the lite version of momentem and you can always upgrade if you like what you see. The full version allows you to tag your calls, emails, activities and expenses, and you can get unlimited on-demand reports from the system, whereas the free version only does call tagging and there’s only one report, generated on the last day of the month.
Entering is easy:
Go to this webpage momentem.net/bbcool.asp and enter your email address. Simple as that.
The competition closes in just a few days, so hurry.

The newest version of Poynt is available and it’s a must-have application. The new version should be live on App World and ready to download so try it out!
Poynt is a convenient and timesaving service that connects consumers to local businesses and theaters at the moment they want to buy or acquire products or services. By entering search terms, the consumer is able to find businesses and movies near their location, get phone and address information as well as additional enhanced features such as accessing movie reviews and trailers. For example, a Poynt user could locate themselves via the GPS on their smartphone, then search for businesses such as a car rental agency, hairdressers, hotels or attorneys. Results are sorted by distance and the user has the option to view directions on a map, click-to-call the business, or view their website.
