Iconify is a new app from emacberry, the developers of FileScout, that lets you create voice dial, mail, and web links with customizable icons for your BlackBerry homescreen. The app sits in the background on your device and adds a new menu option on your BlackBerry that allows you to create an icon. Each icon is a separate app on your device, and will show up in your downloads folder. I personally like Iconify as a replacement for my speed dialer, because it’s a nice visual. It’s also good as a replacement for launchers.
Download the free trial of Iconify OTA.

Found a new app today called uDrove, that could be useful to some enterprise users who drive a lot. The app is a driver compliance tool for both owners and operators and company drivers. uDrove is a web-based app with a subscription service that tracks fuel consumption, helps you submit fuel and business expenses, complete vehicle inspections and more. I haven’t tried the service but let us know if you give it a shot.

Oratio is a BlackBerry app for the blind and visually impaired that allows users that comes at an astronomical cost but is sure to bring a lot of value to those that need it. The app gives the user the ability to effectively communicate using IM, emails, SMS and MMS, as well as calls and access to Caller ID. You can manage your contact list, call log and schedule appointments. It definitely covers the gamut of what the BlackBerry does.
Other features of the app include:
- Intuitive and familiar audio user interface.
- Easy-to-use customization options for frequently used settings.
- Auto start mode when the device turns on.
- Different verbosity levels to allow users to define the amount of information provided.
- Settings control over the voice rate and pitch.
- Keyboard echo settings for text entry.
- Easy-to-use command structure.
Since the app is priced at $449.00, I hope there are programs or insurance packages to help subsidize the cost. Maybe HumanWare will do a giveaway with BlackBerryCool?

Rick Segal is one of the co-founders of Fixmo Tools, an app company that packages a bunch of utilities to help improve your BlackBerry. The apps do a variety of things such as change your profiles based on your Calendar events, edit your emails before they’re sent, manage your memory, track your battery power and more.
According to Segal, “Canada is the best place on the planet to start a business,” as government programs available to entrepreneurs in Canada are amazing, and give a competitive advantage. One such program is scientific research and development credits, which can go along way to cutting costs on developing new technologies. I’m not sure if Fixmo Tools qualifies for these credits, but with the right guy behind the proposal, you could probably fit anything into that program.

Didiom Pro is available free in App World and it has some cool new features to connect your home computer’s audio and your BlackBerry. To use Didiom Pro, you have to download their desktop app for PC, and sign up for an account. The free account gives you 5 tracks, and unlimited access to your library costs only $0.99 per month or $9.99 annually. I think more companies should use a free app with a small fee outside of App World to drive down prices.
Check out Didiom in App World and let us know what you think.
