Stop Watch by Bellotti Alessandro
From the developer that brought you Echo, comes Stop Watch. This simple and native application is more than just a watch. While a stop watch is already part of our devices, nothing wrong with a third-party application that provides additional functionality. This version allows you to add and subtract minutes and hours, pause the clock and set at will, reset to the current time, active frame, and has custom resolutions for various BlackBerry devices. You can grab it for $0.99 in BlackBerry World.

Fruit Attacks by En Masse Entertainment
Looking for a fun, free, and addicting game? Going through the Amazon Appstore I came across this gem. The object is to shoot and strategize your way through 180 levels of this genre-bending action-puzzle game. Your character, DJ Treblebass must save the planet from alien invading sentient fruit using his Sound Amplification Transmission Inducer, or SATI (mini helpers). The enemy produce move down the screen similar to Space Invaders while your job is to aim and shoot at each and every one to smithereens. The only catch? You need to use two fingers in order to do so. There are various items to unlock to aid in your quest. Being able to aim and manipulate the shot with two fingers is not an easy task and takes getting used to. This challenging game is free to download in the Amazon Appstore .
