New BlackBerry Software

FlyCast for BlackBerry

FlyCast is a killer app that features over 1,000 channels of music, entertainment, news and more all for your listening pleasure. The audio feeds are streamed directly to your Berry... and the best part it... it's FREE! The interface is dead simple, once you install and give it a try, everything is fairly self-explanitory. FlyCast is available for the Bold, Storm and Curve. Pearl users will have to hold on, unfortunately there is no version for the good 'ol Pearl just yet.

You can read an excellent overview of FlyCast for the BlackBerry here. Or go ahead and check it out at http://www.flycast.fm for more info and download instructions (an OTA download link is available).

Mobile Checkbook for BlackBerry

Have issues keeping track of your bank account balances? If so, you might want to give Mobile Checkbook a try! This app lets you record transactions as they happen. It's a powerful way to stay current with your accounts. Record expenses as you're shopping, at a restaurant, or wherever you make a purchase. View past transaction details such as date, time, payee, memo and check number. Two versions (for different Berry devices) of this app are now in our store. Both are available for $12.95 at ShopCrackBerry.com!

If you're searching for a powerful contact management solution, Star Contacts might be it.

SendAFix

SendAFix lets you request your location via email or SMS. It's an easy way to send your location to friends and family, allowing them to see where you are on their PC or mobile device. SendAFix uses GPS if available, and if not, will use cell towers to calculate your location. A cool feature of this app is you can either send your location, or have other users request your location. When a request for your location is received, you'll be notified and given the option to allow or deny. As an aside, a cool alternate use for this app? To recover a lost or stolen Berry!

Note: A free trial for 3 days or 30 uses is available.

NotNow

NotNow lets you ignore incoming calls and send an SMS message back to the caller to let them know you're busy... or any other message for that matter. If you're in a meeting or in a situation where you can't take a call, simply press the ignore button and select the message you want to send back to the caller. It's as easy as that. A new 'do not disturb' feature is also built-in to ignore all incoming calls. NotNow will integrate with your calendar app to enable or disable the 'do not disturb' feature automatically!

FakeCall

Ever need a way to get out of that boring meeting or awkward situation? FakeCall gives you that opportunity by simulating incoming phone calls. Make a call happen any time you want. When you accept the call, an active call screen identical to the real screen will display... It looks like you're receiving a call, but you're really not!

Easy StandBy

Save your Berry's battery life with Easy StandBy. Automatically enter standby mode on idle, and block the keyboard from casual key-presses. Enabling this simple app can save you up to 30-50% on each battery charge! All that is required here is OS 4.2 or higher!

Cool Stuff

VibAndRing

VibAndRing is one of the most popular apps available in our store. Normally your Berry will vibrate, and once the vibration is finished your ringtone will start to play. VibAndRing lets you set the vibration alert and the ringtone alert at the same time. You can also set how long the vibration alert should last. A handy app indeed.

MobileDead

Don't be scared off by the name, you might actually like this one. MobileDead is a new location-based game that is going on in New York City. All you need to do is visit www.mobiledead.com from your Berry and install the game. The app lets you interact with your environment and other users in the area while in NYC. The game has a zombie theme, and depending on where you are in the city, it will show you where you are in proximity to other 'undead' users. Explore your environment to unlock health packs and weapons, or simply meet up with a close zombie for a civilized sit-down zombie lunch :)

Tons of fun! Again, for more info visit www.mobiledead.com
