The voice of the BlackBerry community.
Tumblr finally have their official BlackBerry app available for download and so far it looks really good. The app looks a lot like the iPhone version and includes all the features you would want out of a Tumblr app including video. I personally really enjoy Tumblr for quick posting links and featuring media, and a lot of companies use it for their company blog.
Also, remember to use the QR code method for fast downloading.

Fabian let us know that LaterDude Pro has been updated to version 3.0.2 with some general improvements to the app as well as new features. The app is very useful in that it allows you to set reminders for yourself to call, email or SMS someone. What makes the app even more handy, is that it ties in nicely with the call log, address book and other core BlackBerry functions.
More information available for LaterDude Pro in the BlackBerryCool Store. For those who already own LaterDude Pro, this is a free update.

The United States Air Force has over 30,000 BlackBerrys in their inventory, accounting for over 50 percent of the Department of Defense’s total BlackBerry deployment. During the month of March, the Air Force will be implementing security updates to their BlackBerrys in order to better protect the organization from cyber threats.
The following configuration changes will be implemented within the month of March:
Could it be that the recent stories of corporate espionage have the DoD spooked on potential cyber threats?
RIM have posted a message on their Facebook page saying that some exciting things are coming for BlackBerry Messenger in the days (and weeks) ahead. They’re asking everyone to double check that they’re running the latest version of BBM (5.0.0.57) and we’re guessing whatever the news is will require the latest version. If I had to guess what the news will be, I’m going to guess it isn’t a major update to BBM, as we would have heard something by now. The news is likely a promotion or marketing campaign that you’ll be sort of interested in but not really.
Our good friend @BambiBlue tipped us off that CanadianJobForce.com now has a BlackBerry app. The app looks to be a web portal, which is a shame because a native app is so much easier to use. In any case, if you’re looking for a job and you have a BlackBerry, this app will help you find some good prospects while on the go.
For more information, see the CanadianJobForce app in App World.
RIM have announced that they are now offering the BlackBerry Push Service to all BlackBerry developers. This news seems strange in that I thought the Push APIs were already available, but apparently they are now fully public.
The BlackBerry Push Service has two options: BlackBerry Push Essentials and BlackBerry Push Plus. BlackBerry Push Essentials is a free service that developers can incorporate into their applications and allows them to push content to their customers immediately. BlackBerry Push Plus has a free and paid tier that provides developers with notification that their push has been delivered. If a content provider needs to get information to someone, they can tell if the target device has received the push.
