BBCool reader Michael S. writes in to say that page 2&3 of the March 1st issue of Canadian Business shows the BlackBerry Storm2 and within the ad says “See all there is to see with BlackBerry Storm smartphones from Rogers…” We’ve been hearing about the Storm series coming to Rogers for some time now, and it would be great to finally get this device. On the other hand, it could be the ad department is lazy and switched out “Verizon” for “Rogers” without thinking. Any Rogers customers looking to get their hands on a Storm2?

Polar Mobile are known for creating BlackBerry and smartphone apps for content publishers. At MWC, the company announced a new platform called MINT, which is a white label solution for businesses that want a BlackBerry app. From the press release, it seems as though they’ve made so many BlackBerry apps that they now have templates they can use to quickly churn out an app for any content company.

The Winter Olympics have had a few hiccups this year, but for the most part its been fun. Personally, I’m hoping Team Canada plays Team Russia in hockey because it will be intense. HedoneDesign have a theme to help celebrate the games, with a wallpaper friendly background so you can sport your favorite team or athlete.
More information available in the BlackBerry Cool Store.

Some of the BlackBerry blogs have been writing about this and I just couldn’t resist adding my two cents. I remember when “undo” came to email a few years ago by way of Google Labs. The idea was that at a certain time of night, people tend to send emails that they maybe shouldn’t. Working to eliminate the email equivalent of “drunk n dial” Google developed an Undo Send feature. Now that feature has come to BlackBerry with Unsend Email by PuguaSoft.
Sending email for most people has become almost a reflex. Rapid typing and hitting send many times a day lets a few messages through that have typos, missing attachments, and wrong recipients. Hopefully you’re not in the habit of sending email that you regret sending because of the content of the email, though that’s what immediately comes to mind when looking at the features of this software.
Most emails sent in error just need 5 or 10 seconds’ worth of undo, though the software can hold your email for up to 5 minutes.
Check out Unsend Email by PuaguaSoft, only $2.99 US at BlackBerry App World.
What do you think about this kind of software? Would having it on your BlackBerry have saved your skin at some point?

DIRECTV subscribers can now program their DVR remotely using their BlackBerry. This new DIRECTV feature allows you to schedule TV, Pay Per View, and On Demand content. This makes TV talk around the water cooler a lot more fruitful because you can queue new shows while you’re on the go.
UPDATE: Sorry for the confusion but I was talking about http://m.directv.com/ which isn’t news but more of a heads up to anyone who doesn’t know about the service.
Thanks to Caspan for the tip.
