This weeks' roundup is another jam-packed edition. We've got lots of new software, updated software, and even a few free and 'cool' titles for you to check out. On to the roundup, here's what you'll find in this weeks' edition: New BlackBerry Software: Rove Mobile Admin 4.0, BlackBerry Professional Software for Small Business, Baby FollowUp, BBTrips, Win@Craps, Tellme, Alarms Pro, MilkSync Updated BlackBerry Software: Berricons Text Emoticons, Aerize Card Loader, Aerize Optimizer 2008 Free BlackBerry Software: gFlash+, 3 New Pearl Themes Just for Fun: Gas Buddy To Go New BlackBerry Software
Earlier this week, Rove Mobile announced the release of their new Mobile Admin Software. The software allows 'unified management of all IT systems from any computer or handheld device'. The mobile admin software can be installed on a single server on your network, and this then allows for instant management of all other systems without the need to install any agent software on any other systems. You can access the Mobile Admin client from any desktop using a web browser, or it can be installed directly onto your Berry. Mobile Admin does support the BlackBerry Enterprise Server among others, so all you BES system admins out there might want to give this a look. For more information check out this post from Kevin, or visit RoveMobile.com.
Small to medium sized business owners can now get big-business advantages in a BlackBerry solution. The BlackBerry Professional Software is a communications and collaboration solution that provides smaller sized businesses with everything they need for up to 30 wireless users. Enable wireless access to email, calendar, contacts, business data and internet on your company's 'fleet' of devices! Besides the simplified installation, this software provides control over a company's BlackBerry devices, allowing the owner or manager to limit features, enable backups, and much more. If the business using the BlackBerry Professional Software grows to over 30 users, the solution can be upgraded to BES, and the BlackBerry Professional Software Client Access Licenses can be used with the BES. Pricing starts at $499 (for a 5-user license). Read more about The BlackBerry Professional Software Package at AT&T.

Innova Telecom has just released the beta of a new (and free) software that captures your GPS data and allows you to 'trace' your path and then review them with Google Earth on your PC.

As I'm sure you've heard, Microsoft has released a cool new utility for the BlackBerry called Tellme. It allows you to search for directions, traffic info, maps, movies, businesses and more all via speaking into your BlackBerry device. Cool! Currently Tellme supports the 8100, 8800, 8820, 8830 and 8310 BlackBerry devices. All other devices are out of luck unfortunately. Tellme is also only available to Sprint ant AT&T customers. I sincerely hope Microsoft opens this up to more carriers and devices! Fore more info or to download the app, visit tellme.com or m.tellme.com from your BlackBerry web browser.
From the makers of BBSmart Email Viewer comes a new released titled 'Alarms Pro'. From our initial take, this looks to be the best multi-alarm application available today for the BlackBerry. With it, you can create as many alarms as you like, choose from 4 alarm sounds or select an MP3 to wake up to...Set snooze times for 1, 2, 5 or even up to 1 hour... Plus many more features. I'm going to make you visit ShopCrackBerry.com for more information. I'm bad :)
MilkSync for BlackBerry is an app that synchronizes Remember The Milk with the built-in Tasks app on your Berry. Ok, I can hear you saying, 'what the heck is Remember The Milk!?'. Well, RTM is a powerful app that lets you do numerous things. Read more about what you can do with RTM here. Back to MilkSync for now... MilkSync lauched with the following features:
Best of all, the main RTM app is free. You can sign up for a free account over at www.rememberthemilk.com. However, if you want to upgrade to the 'Pro' version of RTM, it is $25/yr for the pro account. Pro accounts give you priority support, plus a handful of new features including the brand new MilkSync app. Try out the free version of RTM, and if you enjoy it, $25/yr for priority support and added features isn't all that bad!
Updated BlackBerry Software
Quickly and easily insert emoticons into your messages using the updated Berricons app. Berricons allows you to add text emoticons to most text fields. Simply choose Berricons while composing a message and you will get a scrollable list of smilies to choose from. Select the images you want to use, and the emoticon will be inserted into your email as text. There are enough emoticons built-in to express exactly how you're feeling. You can pick up Berricons from ShopCrackBerry.com for $6.99 >
Seems like the folks at Aerize have been busy lately. This week, they have an update for the Aerize card loader software. The new build is version 1.1.0. If you're new to Aerize Card Loader... In a nutshell is allows you to install and run applications from and SD card. Kinda cool. New features in this update include:

FREE BlackBerry Software
gWhiz has launched a new app called gFlash+. It's a flashcard slash trivia game app for your BlackBerry. It can be used to study for tests and exams, or simply to test your trivia knowledge. You can even create and share flashcard sets with other BlackBerry users via the gWhiz catalog. If you're thinking you want to give it a spin, you can get gFlash+ from the gWhiz website at www.gwhizmobile.com or OTA at m.gwhizmobile.com. The download includes gFlash+ and gWhiz's previous release gCalc. Both are bundled together and are free of charge.
As Kevin reported the other day, we now have a small pile of Free BlackBerry themes for your enjoyment. This is a result of the 'Call For Free BlackBerry Themes' that was put out a little while back. For now, our gallery contains the Free 'User and Abuser' themes along with these 3 new Free Themes for the BlackBerry Pearl created by the Z Man... There's lots more to come, but until then... If you're a pearl owner, you might want to check them out! The free blackberry theme gallery is growing fast so you'll want to check back every week!
Just for Fun...
GasBuddy.com is a website dedicated to finding you the best gas prices in your area. Now, at a time when gas prices are skyrocketing, GasBuddy has gone ahead and launched a mobile version. To get to GasBuddy on your Berry, simply go to http://gasbuddytogo.com on your Berry's web browser. Once you're on the site, enter your zip code, and GasBuddy will list the nearest gas stations to your location, along with current prices for you to compare on the go. Gas prices aren't updated as often as I'd like (you can see the time when each listing was updated on the mobile site)... But all the same, this is a handy little web app to pull out from time-to-time when you need to fill up!
Until Next Week..

Having installed TellMe yesterday on my Verizon 8830, I can say that it works just fine with providers other than Sprint and ATT, except that GPS is apparently crippled (at least on Verizon). Just means you have to enter your zip code or city/state manually.
i LOVE these software roundup articles! Keep 'em comin!
Thank you
Glad you like them! I think they make for good weekend content. During the week there's always lots of news going on so the posts drop down the site pretty quick - doing the Software Round Up and Click's Media Picks on Friday leaves content that should be relevant/of interest to most people at the top of the site for a couple of days.
Let me know if there's any other types of content you'd like to see up in the CrackBerry blogs, and I'll make sure we get on it!
I saw gFlash+ and thought it was gonna be Flash for BB!
Gotta Love the Software Round ups! If it weren't for these "Round Ups", I would likely just be making calls and e-mailing people once in a while like the rest of the non-enlightened, rather then living in my "Crackberry World", where I have apps, and games and colorful images for me to stare at and play with during those quiet moments. Like when my inlaws stop by, or my wife takes me shopping.
Thanks, Madcap_Laughs!
