Platypus

Ah, does anyone recognize this game from somewhere? I did right away. The folks at Astraware have released the arcade shooter Platypus for the BlackBerry. The game is kind of cool in that all of the illustration and graphics makes everything look like clay. Your ship is made from clay, the enemies, everything! Only bad news is it has to be one of the most expensive games for the BlackBerry I've ever seen. It clocks in at $19.99. Wow!

Business Professional Ringtones

Searching for a new suite of ringtones and sounds for your Berry? Business Professional Ringtones is just that, and was designed for the working professional. All ringtones and notification sounds were professionally produced and sound great. There are over 200 ringtones and notification sounds in this suite. There are no voices, music, or any 'un-professional' sounds here. This is business class!

Contact Hero is a new contact manager for the BlackBerry. It's an ideal tool if you want to improve productivity, build contacts and relationship... and do better business!

Collect, merge and organize all of your contacts form Outlook, Gmail, Yahoo! and more... it takes your contacts from wherever you have them, and merges them in one mobile location... On your Berry. This app is a subscription-based product, but well worth it if you have a ton of contacts and make a lot of calls during a typical work day.

South Park Imaginationland

South Park fans have a new reason to be excited. A new game, South Park Imaginationland has landed for the BlackBerry. This is kind of a risky title for the business-minded, some would say 'conservative' BlackBerry... But what do I know!? The game features the usual cast of characters and is actually quite fun. If you're a fan of the show you'll probably get a kick out of it.

You can pick it up for $9.99 at Handmark >

Star Home Inventory

Star Home Inventory is an awesome tool that helps you manage, um, inventories! It's a great thing to have for any home or business. For home, keep an inventory for insurance purposes. For business, keep an updated inventory to see at-a-glance supplies you may need, or the value of items on the premises. Add any number of details or categories. The interface is simple, and adding details and items is a breeze. Tons of features are available in this bad boy, too many to list.
