Trillian for BlackBerry now out of beta – Available In BlackBerry App World

That was fast! There are apps out there that never seem to leave their beta. When I first found out that Trillian was coming to BlackBerry, I wasn’t all that thrilled. I wasn’t that much a fan of the computer-version. When it came to beta, I tried it and was impressed. As of now, we [...]

Graffiti Radio app review

If you’re anything like me, you listen to very obscure music.  If at any given time you can be listening to Animal Collective, the Wu-Tang Clan, or Ratatat, then this is the application for you.  More after the jump!

As you can see, Graffiti’s UI is relatively simple and easy to use, although it can be [...]

RIM and QNX team up to bring you BlackPad OS

Back in April, RIM made a curious 200 million dollar investment in QNX Software Systems.  While it wasn’t a very conspicuous investment, and it remained nearly unmentioned, a big dollar amount such as this did raise some question.  The main one being, ‘Why?’.  Enter the BlackPad, RIM’s first tablet attempt.  While some speculated that the [...]

Review: Seesmic for BlackBerry

First, I must establish that I am a twitter fanatic (@lovexxreverie , people!).  I absolutely love twitter, which makes it difficult for me to find a twitter client that fits all of my needs. Sadly, with all the options out there, Seesmic does not make the cut for me.  Seesmic is good for those new to [...]
