It’s Monday for everyone else but Matthias Marquardt has been busy updating his amazingly useful BlackBerry apps. The updates cover a lot of eMacBerry apps such as Dropbox-enabled FileScout, location logger GPSLogger II, audio book player TOMPlayer and location automation tool LittleBrother.
FileScout is a great app that we’ve written about several times on BlackBerryCool.

In particular, when a playlist is loaded, one would expect that the app will remember the last position in the playlist, as well as the track. So he decided to create TOMPlayer, a media app that has this functionality. Click through for the full description and download links.
