[Although PayPal say it is free in App World, at the moment, it's nowhere to be found.]

UPDATE: It is now live in App World. Thanks Bla1ze. -Kyle

PayPal announced today that their Send Money application is now available for BlackBerry. The app lets users send money quickly to friends and family via their PayPal accounts. Users will be able to send money to anyone on their contact list, as well as check their recent history and account balance directly from their BlackBerry.

The PayPal application is free to download and use, and is available on BlackBerry App World in Canada, USA, UK, France, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, Ireland, Portugal and Australia.

The announcement is great and all, but I can’t for the life of me find the app. Does anyone see it in their App World?

ScanLife barcode reader for BlackBerry has been updated today. Previously, ScanLife could read 2D codes such as QR, Datamatrix and EZcode. With the latest version, you can read UPC/EAN codes from all major products, books and DVD’s. After scanning, you can compare prices from Google and shop around for a deal. Any BlackBerry can be used to read 2D codes, but you must have an AF camera to scan UPC codes such as the Tour, 9700 or Storm.

To download ScanLife, go to GetScanLife.com from your BlackBerry or visit BlackBerry App World.
