Comments


Introduction by Rob Woodbridge

Rob Woodbridge, President & CEO of Rove, has been interviewing wireless industry players for Untether.TV, a site that aims to bring to light the great successes, failures and lessons in order to help move the innovation needle forward in mobility/wireless. It’s always interesting to see entrepreneurs talk to other entrepreneurs, and I think there is a lot of value here, especially for anyone currently working on a startup.

The CTO of Adobe, Kevin Lynch, said that they are “on the verge of delivering Flash Player 10.1 for smartphones with all but one of the top manufacturers. This includes Google’s Android, RIM’s Blackberry, Nokia, Palm Pre and many others across form factors including not only smartphones but also tablets, netbooks, and internet-connected TVs.” The missing manufacturer is of course Apple.

Gowalla LBS App Coming to BlackBerry “Very Soon”

Comments

gowalla_coming_to_blackberry

Checking-in is becoming a hot trend in the smartphone space these days with Foursquare, Yelp, Loopt and Gowalla all competing for users. Gowalla is a popular LBS app for iPhone that are making the move over to BlackBerry, perhaps in light of Foursquare’s recent success with the platform.

According to Gowalla founder Josh Williams, BlackBerry users can expect to see a Gowalla app “very soon.” Until then, you can always use the web version at m.gowalla.com, but it can’t compete with the foursquare beta app. I personally find it’s always best to have an app.

What do you think of either of these apps?

Fun Little Movies App for BlackBerry Plays Comedy Shorts

fun_little_movies

Fun Little Movies is a new addition to BlackBerry App World. The app is a portal for FLM clips that are short, funny and family friendly. Personally, I think you can get the same level of quality from YouTube. I would like to see this app go free, and use some creative advertising to support the cost. From what I’ve seen online, I’m just not sure if FLM is $2.99 funny.

Check out Fun Little Movies in App World.

Head over to Babelgum to get a feel for the type of videos you get with this app.

Create Dial, Mail and Web Link Icons on Your Homescreen with Iconify

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.

BlackBerry App for the Visually Impaired Comes with $449 Price Tag

Comments

oratio-blackberry-screen-reader-app-for-blind-575x332

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?
