Bringing the best of BlackBerry Cool right to your BlackBerry!
So we have to admit it… It’s pretty embarrassing being a BlackBerry weblog without a decent mobile solution. With the notable exception of BlackBerry Cool To Go, there has really been no good way to get BlackBerry Cool content on your BlackBerry…. until now.
We’re proud to introduce BlackBerry Cool Mobile, which places a little piece of the ‘Cool right on your BB. You can click the download link below, and learn more about BlackBerry Cool Mobile after the jump!

RIM has officially released a new version of the BlackBerry Media Sync, which allows users to sync their BlackBerry Media Player with their favorite iTunes playlists. Version 1.1.0.24 now includes album art support as well as a few other features (Vista 64-bit support and a bunch of new languages). The inclusion of album art support is actually enough to get me to start using Media Sync over drag ‘n dropping my music files onto my MicroSDHC card. Oh wait, at least I would if MEDIA SYNC WERE AVAILABLE FOR MAC. Sigh.
Below you can find a download link to version 1.1.0.24, as well as a handy knowledge base article telling you how to use Media Sync.

Sweet mother Mary, is that an impressive number! Here’s what RIM PR sent me late last night in regards to MySpace for BlackBerry, that social networking application which is so cool with the kids these days.
We wanted to give you a heads up that RIM just found out that the MySpace application for BlackBerry Smartphones has been downloaded more than one million times. The one millionth unique download happened sometime on Saturday December 13th, which makes it a month exactly since the application launched.
I’ve yet to confirm if the amount is a reflection of pure downloads, or includes BlackBerrys pre-loaded with the application, but that is still quite an impressive number in such a short time frame! Check out some relevant MySpace for BlackBerry links below.

BlackBerry Nation, assemble! The fine gents over at Smrtguard are in need of your help. It turns out that they’re looking to translate their award-winning software PeekaWho into Italian and German, but are without the requisite skills (i.e. being literate in Italian and German)!
Are there any Italian or German-speaking members of the BlackBerry Nation willing to lend a helping hand? If so, Smrtguard is willing to throw in a free copy of PeekaWho and FollowUp! for your BlackBerry, as well as a lifetime supply of appreciation.
All those interested can email support|AT|smrtguard|dot|com with the heading ‘Translate’.

For all you Googleheads out there, the Big G has released updates to a few of their BlackBerry applications. Google Sync has has been updated to version 0.5.12 and personal favorite Google Mobile Search has been updated to version 4.1.135. No change logs for either update, but Google works in mysterious ways. You can download both updates by pointing your BlackBerry Browser at the link below:

Wow. When we announced last week that RIM and MySpace had released the MySpace for BlackBerry application, we knew it was going to be popular, just not this popular. Since the application’s launch on November 13, 2008, there have been more than 400,000 downloads, an all-time high for both MySpace and RIM in terms of first week application downloads. Users have also collectively sent and received more than 15 million messages and updated their mood and status over two million times in the first week.
“This rapid adoption is a reflection of an evolving consumer lifestyle where social connectivity and information access are more important than ever,” said Jim Balsillie, Co-Chief Executive Officer at Research In Motion. “This powerful new mobile application combines social networking and mobility in a highly personalized and empowering manner and we are very excited to see such a positive response in the first week.”
