Awhile back I had a chance to review Musical Clock - Musical Alarms by Karvi Technologies. It's a handy little app that allows you to set multiple alarms on your device using either preset tones, songs stored on your SD card, and even streaming applications such as Pandora and Slacker. This update adds a weather dock which displays current conditions and the four day forecast. It also...
My wife can attest to the fact that the snooze button on my alarm and I have a love/hate relationship. It hates to see me sleep in and I love smacking the crap out of it. I guess you can say my alarm clock and I have mutually abusive relationship, as well. It’s gotten to the point that I had to place my alarm on the other side of the room, so that I’m forced to get up in order to hit...
I take a ton of pictures with my BlackBerry, of all kinds of things. Sometimes, it's nice to be in the picture, but you don't always have that extra set of hands you need to take the picture. Apps such as Camera Timer, a new application from S4BB Limited, are perfect for this situation, as you can set the timer, place your BlackBerry on a sturdy surface, and jump in the shot. Featuring...
Do you still wear a watch or do you use your BlackBerry to tell the time? The battery in my watch died about a year ago so I decided to just retire it to my nightstand drawer. I'm never out of reach of my BlackBerry so it didn't really bother me nor was it something I spend much time dwelling on. Last weekend I was up camping on an annual father-son trip we do with some...
As soon as I got the BlackBerry PlayBook Charging Pod the search began for an alarm clock app. The way the PlayBook sat there on my nightstand, it was just calling out to be my new alarm clock. So off to App World I went to see what is out there and came across Talk Clock. Overall a very nice application that uses iSpeech technology offering you a very nice female Stephen Hawking...
Nothing is more annoying when you first wake up than the "beeping" of your alarm going off.

Now it seems more and more people are starting to use their BlackBerry PlayBook for that same use. If you're one of them, you may want to check out the application called Bed-Buzz by...

[ youtube video link for mobile viewing ] Following up on our CTIA 2011 quick looks at the BlackBerry PlayBook's native calculator and weather apps, next we dive into the PlayBook's native clock application. Tapping open the app there's a sense of recognition of the clock app as it is on BlackBerry Smartphones running OS 4.6 or greater (the black background, etc.), but from there you...
When one alarm isn't enough... Alarm Clock! I admit it; I don't like to get up in the morning. I once accused a friend of lying about the existence of 5:00 a.m. I have even been known to set upwards of four alarms to make sure I get up on time. The alarm on my BlackBerry works just fine, but I need more. I need multiple alarms to wake me up. Alarm Clock fulfills that need...
