No Blog

So, my life is a little... well boring, so I just put stuff on Facebook. No need to keep this thing kicking. I'm just going to have johnodavidson.com point right to Facebook and remove it... See you on the flip side.

New BB Aps

I have added foursquare as a regular application and moved to the new CB2 theme. Both are free and a must haves on the BB Flip.

Check them out:

I sometimes use the new eBay app but only to check on things i have already bid on, it wouldn't make my top 10 list.

My Top Blackberry Apps

PodTrapper - Download Podcasts over Verizon, so much nicer than a iPod but it cost real money (only app I have paid for to date)
Facebook - Does Facebook, still not as nice as the iPhone version)
QuickPull - Can actually shut the BB off or reboot on a schegual (the dark side on BB running apps in the background is sometimes it gets slow and reboot helps from closing running applications)
Google Apps - I use Maps and Google Sync (Google maps syncs mymap)
Viigo - RSS reader I love (shows update to friend blogs or website feeds) and has way more features I don't use like streaming podcast. Oh, and you can update it the web and it syncs with your BB
Vlingo - Not as good as it was (now charge for a pro account) but it replaces my voice dialer (call John) with many more options. It does an ok job translating voice into email or text messages (now limited number a month) but is pretty slow. Only options when you're driving and want to be 'safe'
Sametime - Hey, it's the IM we use at work so don't make fun of me (I use Yahoo IM once and a while)

Sometime used
Amazon - check prices when I'm in a store and leverage my prime account to get it in 2 days
Audible - streaming audio book but it's to choppy so I only use it for buying the books and still use my iPod for listening
Opera Mini - nice browser but I stick to a pearl BB for size so I only use it when I want to see a website the built in browser butches
BB App world - don't think this really counts as a app but if you have an older BB you should grab it
