Neatcall is a free personal mobile scheduling assistant that seems to work much like Tungle by providing the optimal timeslot for any type of communication. Where Tungle focuses on scheduling meetings in general, Neatcall seems to break the type of meeting down into face-to-face, conference call, web meetings and video conferences.
Features of Neatcall include:
- Scheduling all online and offline communications through one application.
- Offering several time slots and automatically selecting the optimal one.
- Unlimited events and unlimited number of invitees!
- Multi messaging – you decide how to send invitations to your colleagues, by EMAIL, simple SMS, or WAP link.
- Analyzing the responses content of all messaging formats.
- Speed Mode Reply mechanism – picking optimal time slots in seconds.
- Four different scheduling situations: “Full Match” if all users pick the same time slot, “Best Match” if one time.
- Slot is picked by most invitees, “Equal Match” if there are more than two equal time slots and “No Match” when there is no selected time slot so you can offer new time slots.
I’ll have to play around with this app more to determine what advantages, if any, it provides over the Tungle app. It’s great to see that it’s free so you have nothing to lose by checking it out.
Download Neatcall for free in App World.

MO-Call have launched a BlackBerry app which offers cheap international calling and SMS rates. The app seems to work much like a calling card, in that when you launch the app, it will re-route calls through a different number and use credits that you purchase at their site. The rates seem pretty competitive, and it lists the following for the US:
Fixed: $0.020/min
Mobile: $0.020/min
SMS: $0.124/msg
You can find out more about their rates from their site.
To download MO-Call, point your browser to mo-call.mobi or visit their site for more information.

YouSendIt is a great service for sending large files. It’s a simple process of uploading to their servers and emailing your friends a link. For larger files, it can take a really long time to upload them, especially if you have a premium service and the files are very large.
YouSendIt now have a BlackBerry app for tracking the status of your file transfers. The app doesn’t seem to do much other than this, but if you use the service a lot it could be very useful. Features of the app include:
- Access all files you have sent using YouSendIt.
- Forward files you have sent or received using YouSendIt.
- See how many times your files were downloaded, who downloaded them, and when it was downloaded.
- Free premium file tracking.

Google Maps has a minor update relative to the last which added a Google Buzz layer. I’m not yet sure if there are any real new features, and it seems to be just performance fixes. Nonetheless, it’s always good to get the latest.
