IUGO are a really talented company when it comes to making mobile games. Their games use unique IP and design, combined with awesome 3D graphics and addictive gameplay to make games you simply can’t miss. Back when I used to use an iPhone, one of my favorite games was Zombie Attack! (aka ZA!) and it’s now available for BlackBerry.
Zombie Attack! is a tower defense game where you have to defend your cabin against a never-ending wave of zombies. Some zombies are fast and weak, others are slow and powerful. It’s up to you to choose the best combination of weaponry to fight them off.
Features:
Different zombie types to slay.
4 weapon types for a variety of zombie killing techniques.
Survivor machete: hack and slash the undead when needed.
After a Boost Mobile user posted a pic of their Curve 8330 with OS 5.0.0.438, it seemed only a matter of time until the download became available. Well now you can head over to the Boost Mobile page and grab OS 5.0.0.438 for yourself! Just remember to delete the vendor.xml file. Also, if you’re a Tour owner, feel free to use the comment thread to vent. Also, I’m not sure if this is compatible with the 8330m, so let us know if you’ve tried.
Chocolate Chunk Apps have just released WiFi Media Backup for BlackBerry which allows you to automatically upload photos, videos and voice-notes from your BlackBerry to your PC, wirelessly and in the background.
This is a great feature in that you can roam around all day, taking photos, video or voice notes, and when you return to your office or home, they’re there waiting for you on your PC. The application requires two parts: a BlackBerry app, and a lightweight PC application called Media Server.
This app is a great product for anyone who uses a lot of the media capabilities of their device and wants a backup of it all on their PC. Personally, I wish the sync would go both ways, and include the ability to transfer music files as well. That would make this the ultimate over-the-air media app.
ATOMIC is a new theme from R&R Theme Designs and it has some interesting elements to it. This theme comes with a hidden dock and once activated, your icons swoop in from the sides and cluster together, with the same chaos you would expect from atoms. The downside is that R&R didn’t do the best job of making clear and easy to read icons. I always appreciate a theme company making custom, animated icons and docks, which is why I gave this theme a shot, but I’ll probably switch back to the original theme in the long run.
BlackBerry Cufflinks are a pretty awesome accessory but they would be even more awesome if they were made out of pure platinum. I could see myself wearing these if I was either Jim Balsillie, or a millionaire eBay seller who sold unreleased devices (not like those guys are rich). Fifty dollars for the pair is a little much for a party gag but I’m sure someone is buying. Also, why make it out of 8800s? They should be Storms.
HedoneDesign have a new theme out called BerryShell and they’re offering it on sale for 20% off until the 26th of January. This theme is a lot like many of HedoneDesign’s themes in that they have a similar icon set. While I enjoy the homescreen, I personally find myself always preferring the icon set that comes native with the BlackBerry. You can’t beat the simplicity of basic lines but it’s always fun to switch things up for a while. With a Today Preview function and some good icon placement, this theme is definitely worth trying out.
Cellguru got his hands on the BlackBerry Magnum, the touchscreen QWERTY hybrid that we’ve been hearing rumors about for some time now. While this device has been scrapped and will probably never see the light of day, there are also rumors of a BlackBerry Dakota which could come to market. The Dakota is still in very early planning stages so it’s still in the air about what to expect. It’s unlikely that the Dakota will come in a Bold 9000 form factor, which is sort of a shame.

Tripit for BlackBerry is available as a free download from today on. Tripit puts your TripIt itineraries on your BlackBerry including travel confirmation emails from corporate booking sites and corporate travel agencies. It also syncs travel plans with the built-in BlackBerry calendar which in-turn syncs with a traveler’s Outlook calendar.
While the BlackBerry client is free, there is a paid service. When I last checked, the Pro price was $99 per year. Charter members of TripIt Pro pay no more than $49 per year.
Alltel have announced the BlackBerry Curve 8530 for $49.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate and a one year contract. This is a fairly good price but I still think this device should be free. It’s part of the low-end BlackBerry family and it would sell far more units being free.
