Wow. CrackBerry listenership took a step up the last couple of weeks with the introduction of our free CrackBerry Podcast app. In just two weeks, CrackBerry Episode 050 has now been downloaded over 120,000 times according to libsyn stats. CRAZY!! Episode 050 was a long one, so we kept Episode 051 a little bit shorter as we tackle the BlackBerry device, software and apps news of the day. We also walk through some great community emails, covering such topics as Who's Going to Buy Palm? and Craig Johnston's Sexy Voice.

* Listen on your device with the new CrackBerry Podcast App: If you don't already have Podtrapper installed on your BlackBerry, you can now listen to the CrackBerry Podcast on your BlackBerry using our free CrackBerry Podcasts app. You can download it from App World for free (it'll be in the CrackBerry App Store shortly as soon as the developer gets a chance to get that done!). Download Now. *

As always, we had a lot of fun recording the show so we hope you enjoy it! Be sure to leave us a comment and we'll see you soon, live from Orlando and WES 2010.

Yup getting the Podcast through podtrapper rocks. I tried to download the mp3 file through opera and the native browser previously through my edge connection with no luck. Now, I get all the episodes no problem. This podcast is still not showing  in podtrapper as I write this however. Oh yeah, 1st ;)

The Beta app has been getting very buggy lately. - UT rocks forever, there isn't a client better. Get on up!!!! you guys are boozers - awesome(a little high pitched don't ya think?) - getting another mans voice doesn't sound hetero...that sucks man T-Mobile is fuzzy in my area, I hope this infrastructure upgrade works for us. PIMP! 9800 9300 nice numbers. Coming from the purchaser of an iPad...dude be professional....smh, go Kevin! hey baybay...sweet! - I'm Donta Bobby - check your previous podcasts you'll hear some talk about these devices, somewhat stumped but I understand where you are coming from. i think that devices also appeal to who can use them. People with small hands would love to use a pearl/pearl flip. I'm glad you guys addressed my emails/questions - I have an android tablet and it's great with my gmail - I do get my email on my bb faster - Yes Kevin! You got it. Lol. Thanks ABC...K. It's good to know that I helped this podcast last longer. Craig was talking about the Tesla technology. Yes, that stuff. That's a great idea. So smart...OtterBox has stickers. BLAZE! The lotus looks so weird. Wow, how did that happen, lol, no more mute buttons. you guys should check out my BB OS blog - http://theliaison.wordpress.com - reach for the stars...

I'm fine, I just comment on the entire episode as I am listening.

I listen to all the podcast, and i have no complaints other than the sub-par organization of you guys topics and comments...I can't tell what segments are being touched on sometimes.

I will be attending WES and would love to have a CB Meetup and would also love to watch the 3-beer podcast being recorded. I started a thread for the meetup: http://forums.crackberry.com/f2/crackberry-meetup-wes-456210/

Hope to see everyone at WES!

Hopefully you will have an episode before I ship off to basic training for the Navy the first week of May, but I will miss these podcasts for the next couple of months, *sniffle sniffle*. I dunno how I'm gonna make it through 2 months without my BB...AHHHHH!
Love the podcast, outtakes were awesome too, bad Kevin! ;)
Hopefully there is some neat stuff at WES this year, and have a beer or two for me too please! Ohhh and go see Mickey! Someone should get a picture with Mickey holding a BB!

Posted by Kevin Michaluk Monday, Apr 19, 2010 765 days ago

look forward to the bright side... when you get back you'll have lots of episodes you can catch up on!

we will have up our WES podcasts next week before you leave for training though...so we'll help you get your fill before you go. all the best!

YAY! I will have to have a CB podcast marathon.

Sweet, one more before I go, you guys ROCK!

Podcast is great, really enjoying it. I agree with HofstraJet, a WES meet-up would be awesome.

Posted by Ddaddy35 Tuesday, Apr 20, 2010 764 days ago

I really do like the idea of the podcast, but feel it needs better focus. It seems to drift into the territory of "just a bunch of guys sittin' around and shootin' the breeze." Maybe a little more prep needs done prior to recording. The site is so well done and so focused on stories that it's disapointing when the podcast kinda rambles.

Those OS's that you found using Google Analytics that were very strange and came out of nowhere are mostly "HYBRID" os's.

For example:

http://driphter.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=795099d3c98bccb7d037ba052495da51...

Here you can see that programmers and/or hackers have modified their own BB Os'es to say, fix a browser click issue with a tour...

Why not mention something about the underbelly of hacking blackberrys?

Thanks,
Bruce
