Crazy schedules and today's fragmented workplace create a need for services that allow groups to collaborate on projects without the need to be in the same room. The ability to have every member of a group given access to the ideas, materials, and progress of a group can make the difference in a contract being landed, or a new presentation being done on time. There are services out...
When I first came across this theme, it was just a "Coming Soon" teaser in the forums, and based on the screenshots alone I bookmarked it for the theme roundup. When I got a chance to actually play with it on my BlackBerry however, I could easily see that it needed it's own spot on the blogs. KD really outdid himself this time, putting together a theme that is not only beautiful to look...

Matt from BB Theme Labs is heavy into his theme development, and his site is an excellent resource for any developers looking for tips, help, or elements for their themes. He also makes some pretty kickin' themes himself, and his latest shows his skills well. Completely custom, including the icons, meters and every other element you can think of, this theme give the look and feel of the...
I covered BeFroyo in last week's Theme Roundup, and the response from the community was so favorable that the developers contacted me wanting to give a little back. In case you missed it last week, here's an excerpt from the article to give you some background on the theme. Ahaz and JMal make some quality themes, no argument there. Their latest creation takes the Froyo look from...
Personally, my device never seems to leave my hand for more than a few seconds at a time, and yet I am constantly looking around to find it when I need it, particularly when I'm at home. To make matters worse, I tend to leave it set to the silent profile so it doesn't annoy everyone around me with constant notification tones. This can make things rather difficult, and I have spent many...
Contest: 25 Copies of MONO to be won. Leave a comment! Here we are again, another Monday, another roundup. The tip line was eerily quiet the last week, likely due to everyone being off enjoying the summer, but it has exploded with some quality themes in the last 24 hours. Hit the jump and see the best of the best for this week! Bold MONO by BBthemes and Berrygoodthemes...
I got a tip on boxBerry the other day via email, and as usual decided to take a peek (seems any time "theme" is in the subject, compulsion kicks in). The "usual" part of the experience stopped immediately when I got to play with the theme. The homescreen looks fairly standard, but the concept hidden in those tabs at the left of the screen blew me away. Clicking each tab causes a new...
There have been a few apps released over the past couple years, that aim to allow you to manipulate your photos in various ways. We all know that the options available natively in the OS are woefully inadequate, but ImgEdit adds an entire suite of editing options right at your fingertips. Whether your desire is to simple crop/rotate/flip an image, or you want to have some fun getting...
Most BlackBerry users have the Docs2Go suite installed on their devices, and many of us use it on a regular basis to handle files in an Office format. One huge limitation of that particular softwarek, however, is the fact that the free version included does not allow you to create new documents. Paying for the premium version can be tough to swallow if all you want to do is add the...

So Apple finally caught up to BlackBerry in some areas with IOS4, adding folders and "multi-tasking" to it's OS. Still, I'll take my BlackBerry any day, nothing else quite compares to the experience. There are those that love the look and feel of the Apple platform, and for them, there are themes like iPlus4. A full set of iPhone icons are included, and every component in the theme has...

A couple of months ago, we covered Tawkon, a mobile application designed to measure and reduce the amount of radiation you may be exposed to while using your BlackBerry device. The debate about radiation has always been a hot topic, and the comments to that post were a perfect example of that, ranging from people that were happy to have the ability to monitor their radiation levels, to...
We all know that Z Man makes some pretty sweet themes, I know his iVista 2 theme was the first premium theme I ever bought for my Storm, and I absolutely loved it. Zach fired me an email the other day, letting me know about his newest release, iVista 3, which is new take on the concept. As always, the skill shines through, giving you an authentic Windows Vista feel, right on your...
We have seen plenty of OS 6-like themes lately, as more and more devs jump on the clean look and smooth appeal of what we have seen in the blogs. This hit my inbox this morning, and I have to say, it's a solid looking theme. Two versions are available, completely identical except for the fact that one version has the OS6 precision icons and one has a full set of custom icons. The...

I am constantly on the lookout for games to kill time with on my BlackBerry, you never know when you'll have more time to kill than Twitter and BBM can fill. I got word about Number Cruncher earlier this week and decided to check it out. First thing in its favor is that fact that it's free, which is always a bonus. For a free game, it shows premium polish and a simple premise that's...
