New BlackBerry Software

BES Service Pack 6

For the admins in the crowd, this past week the latest patch for BES became available. The big changes in this service pack include rich content e-mail, support for Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 and more. Reconciling permanent message deletion has been improved as well.

For more details on this update click here, or go here to get BES 4.1.6.

Emoticons!

Need a whole whack of fancy new emoticons for your messages? In Emoticons! you'll get a whole bunch of happy, sad, winking emoticons... and more. All emoticons are inserted as text alternatives, so that the recipient can receive them. What a great way to 'spice up' that dull old email :)

Purchase Emoticons! before August 10 and you'll be eligible to win a MacBook Pro!

Weight Tracker

Trying to shed a few pounds? Or just want to keep tabs on your weight? Weight Tracker is a new app from Link-two that allows you to measure your daily progress. Track your weight, manage entries and watch as you progress (hopefully in the right direction!?) :) As with Emoticons! above, if you purchase before August 10 you could win a MacBook Pro.

Cram

Cram is a handy little app that lets you create, import and study for tests on the go. With it you can review anything on the go from materials on an upcoming test to vocabulary, trivia and more. The interface is clean and easy-to use. You can also use it to track results of your tests to keep a running history...and a log is also kept detailing which answers you got incorrect, and how you answered. This could prove to be an invaluable tool for anyone 'cramming' for exams... But don't get caught peeking at it during test time.
