Remoku for BlackBerry
As we acquire gadgets and devices in our lives, we seem to end up with a ton of remote controls. TVs, DVD players, stereos… everything has one, and if you're like me you can probably never find the right one when you need it. I was super excited when I found out that I can now eliminate the search for at least one remote, the one that goes to my Roku player. Five Seasons Computer has developed apps for both BlackBerry 7 smartphones and the BlackBerry PlayBook which allow you to control your Roku player over wifi! Every feature you can access from the remote, you can now access on your BlackBerry device using Remoku. Not only can you do basic things like change the channel, you can also enable the developer screen, reboot your Roku, and more!

Features:
  • All the same buttons from the standard Roku remote including Instant Replay!
  • Automatically locates Roku devices!
  • Save more than one Roku configuration to the app!
  • Easy to use channel list & navigation of your Roku!
  • Use the onscreen keyboard to type!
  • Toolbox feature allows easy access to bitrate override, remote reboot, secret screen, developer screen & bug report!
At this time, Remoku is available for BlackBerry 7 devices and the PlayBook, and either version can be purchased from BlackBerry App World for $2.99 at the links below. I have both versions, and I have to say that since installing them I've found myself using my Roku more often, maybe just because it's more fun to use my BlackBerry to control it!

Expensify now available for BlackBerry 10 and the BlackBerry PlayBook

Expensify has been around for awhile now, and while the app was available for previous BlackBerry OS', they had all but dropped support for the platform and when I inquired in September had no plans for bringing the app to BlackBerry 10. Sometime between then and now that all changed, and I was happy to see that Expensify is now available for not only BlackBerry 10, but the PlayBook as...

Keep in shape and get toned with the Max Capacity Training app

It's a brand new year, we've been indulgent during the holidays. I have to admit I started becoming a little food hungry when the cold weather started to kick in. But even when I do, I try to keep in shape regardless. I'm not a fitness fanatic but I do like to keep in shape, even if I know I won't be as fit as I was before I was 21. I try to do different kinds of workouts and because...
