For everyone out there that considers themselves a do it yourself person, you'll certainly want to check out the HowCast application that recently appeared in BlackBerry App World. The application is a rather small download and mainly acts as a launcher for mobile versions of the videos available. But, that's not to say it's just a launcher. The app does allow for some additional features, which are pretty cool.
- Watch the best how-to videos on the web, straight from your phone
- Search for a specific how-to video on just about anything
- Save a video to your list of Favorites so you can watch it at any time
- Recall videos that you have previously watched using the History feature
- Share any video with a friend by email

Get "How To" Videos From HowCast On Your BlackBerry
Sounds cool! I love how to videos and tv shows. I am going to download this now and check it out.
App works great on my 9700 on att. Videos actually work better than the youtube vids. Thanks for the heads up on this app!
sounds nice but not a big variety of phones for that reason it will not get that big
This is sweeeet.

Aghhhhh!!
What are you using? You must have OS 5. Im in the UK using a 9700 it installed and runs fine.
Yea on a 9000. Glad that that's the only reason why it won't download. Hopefully the next update will fix that.
I'm using it on my 9700 and it comes up with a message saying it couldn't connect to the internet....
Successfully download the app, only to find out that when I opened the app and the app tried to establish a connection.
An error message "Sorry, we couldn't connect to the Internet, please try again later" kept on popping and the app would not work.
I'm just wondering when 99.99% of my app can successfully connect to the net, why "Howcast" tells me that it can't!
Epic fail, although it would have been awesome if this would have worked.

Go to HowCast. Type in "how to make this application work for my blackberry" and see what it comes up with.
When I opened HowCast in App World, I am only given the options to read reviews and see screenshots. There is no download option. So, I guess that means it's not available for my model phone.
I have a 9000 with 5.0, says, "This application is not available on your device or for your carrier". Went to howcast.com input "how to make this application work for my blackberry", nothing back.
