Today I found some awesome blackberry apps. They are amazing! Pretty cool stuff. I also found a new blackberry blog that I will be following: http://blackberryrocks.com/

And the applications are…

Vlingo

The Vlingo website states:

Using innovative speech recognition technology, vlingo delivers a single voice interface that can work with any mobile application without training or other constraints. With vlingo access to your mobile internet applications is no longer held hostage by twelve tiny keys.

Vlingo is a sweet application that allows the usage of voice commands to perform several different tasks. Among these tasks include sending an email, send a tweet to twitter, update facebook status, make a call, google search, and several others. This is done by holding down the activation key and saying what you want to send. Visit http://www.vlingo.com/vbb-using_tasks.jsp#Raa57457 to view the available tasks that you can perform on the Blackberry. I think this is a really cool app because it interfaces with so many applications. Additionally, it uses some type of learning mechanism to better understand your voice. Meaning that at the start Vlingo  doesn’t get everything right, but it improves the more you use it.

Pandora

Yes yes yes! It is Pandora the amazing internet radio station. I love Pandora. I need to write up a comparison between Pandora and last.fm, but for now this is just a description about Pandora  on Blackberry because last.fm is not available yet.

I love that Pandora is available on the Blackberry because I don’t have a memory card, which leaves my music options limited. Pandora fills the music void by providing well selected music.

Blackberry App World

For easy installation of new applications: http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/appworld/?

I used this to install most of the applications on this page.

reQall

I haven’t used this one too much yet, but am currently testing it out. As the website puts it: http://www.reqall.com/about/reqall_bb

reQall for BlackBerry is a free, downloadable application that makes your BlackBerry the true hub of your digital life. reQall captures tasks and ideas using your voice, automatically organizes your information, integrates with your Outlook or Google Calendar, shares reminders with others and provides proactive memory assistance via the revolutionary reQall Memory Jogger.

It should be really cool.

After using this for a little bit the voice note taking does not work because you must have a memory card to use it, and I don’t have a card.

BuzzMe

This is a simple app that allows for simultaneous vibration and ringing on the phone. Download on phone here: http://www.bigtincan.com/misc/BuzzMe.jad

Buzz me FAQ: http://www.bigtincan.com/misc/BuzzMeFAQ.html

From what I can tell this should just work by default once installed.

Viigo

This is a sweet RSS reader and much more. After doing a lot of research this is one of the must have apps for all new Blackberry users.

myPoynt

This is a cool application that searches for businesses, theatres/movies, and other location aware places around you.

Played with this one for just a little bit, but it is great! Really cool awesome application.

Well that concludes my list of newly experienced Blackberry applications. I will hope to write some reviews on these applications as I use them on a day to day basis.
