The developers behind SmrtGuard have a new app called SmrtClipboard, which is a clipboard for your BlackBerry. It’s a simple and easy to use app that gives you the ability to copy and paste multiple items from one place to another. It’s amazing that RIM didn’t think of this.
SmrtGuard are offering some great promotions too:

CB and a few others have found some evidence of the official Twitter client from RIM. We haven’t seen anything in terms of screenshot leaks or details, but hopefully RIM is working on something unique, as there are already a plethora of Twitter clients available. Generally speaking, when RIM is developing an application, it’s because the app will have access to more APIs than a third party developer would normally have access to. This is why they built the Facebook app.
We’re not positive about a release date, but rumor has it the client is in testing and we should expect something before February.
Freshbooks is a new piece of software that lets you manage invoices, clients and track billing hours from your BlackBerry. The app is currently in beta, and you can download it now to try out for yourself.
Features include:
- Time Management – Easily upload time on the go. Use a timer to track time as you go, or manually enter hours.
- Client Management – Use your BlackBerry to call or email clients. Map client addresses directly on your BlackBerry. Search capability for quick access to hundreds of clients
- Invoice Management – View full invoice details, enter payments and send invoices from your BlackBerry.
- Account Management – Use multiple accounts on one BlackBerry. Staff and admin usage adheres to FreshBooks priveleges.
- Use Offline – No signal? No problem, just upload later.
To download the free beta of FreshBooks, head over to their site and register your email.
UPDATE: As Eric points out, the BlackBerry application is called “Book Keeper”, and it integrates with the web application called FreshBooks. The two are not affiliated except for the fact that Book Keeper uses FreshBooks’ API to store and retrieve data.
