Wishing you were in Barcelona this week for Mobile World Congress, but stuck working the day job? Well, Mobile World Live has got you covered. This official app of MWC will provide you not only with the opportunity to find news easily, but also provide you with discussions, video clips & even a live video feed.

I'll surely be checking this application every few hours this week so that I'm up to date on everything that's going on in Barcelona!

Wind Mobile has officially released OS 6.0.0.448 for the BlackBerry Curve 9300 & Bold 9700. According to a leaked internal document,

Note: The Software Platform and Applications version numbers can be found under Options-About screen on the handheld.

Mobihand has decided to enter the social network market with it's latest venture, AppVerse. AppVerse is a social network that let's you share & review applications that you purchase for your smartphone. It integrates with your Facebook & Twitter, so that spreading the word is only a simple click away.

What a great way of announcing to your friends new apps that you enjoy!

Your co-worker's phone has died or was forgotten at home, & they ask you if they can make a quick call on your phone. You hesitate to offer him your phone because of the sensitive information that lies within Facebook.

Well, Risto Mobile Solutions has got you covered with bPRIVATE - Privacy App Blocker for BlackBerry. The premium version let's you password lock up to 6 applications (BBM, Inbox, Facebook, Address Book, Calendar, Memo & Media) so that prying eyes are left wondering what you've hidden, while the free version is limited to 1 application.

My only concern with this application is that blocks are delayed 2-3 seconds, & you can actually see what is within those applications for that brief instant. Other than that, this application is a must-have for anyone who feels that their sensitive information should be guarded.

Risto Mobile has hooked us up with 15 copies of this application to give away. Just leave a comment in the forums for a chance to win!!

Have you ever had your phone in your pocket & accidentally pocket-dialed someone? Had your phone accidentally open an app & drain your battery?

Well, the folks at Risto Mobile Solutions have come out with a solution to your issue called bLOC - Widgets Screen Lock for BlackBerry. This application not only provides a screen lock solution, but also gives you several different widgets to navigate through while screen is locked, including:

• Weather
• Clock
• Calendar
• Quote of the Day
• Gold Prices
• Currency Exchange

The user interface seems very easy to understand, but it seems the application does not automatically load after a battery pull.

When testing this application on my Bold 9780, I had to press the RETURN key in order to have the slider appear. A slight discomfort, but nothing that a typical user wouldn't get accustomed to.

I was still able to receive call while the application was running & it didn't seem to affect the memory while running.

GetGlue, the lastest Foursquare-style check-in site has recently launched a Blackberry app. Although this application is currently in Private Beta, they seem to be accepting tons of testers, as I recieved a download link within 24 hours of signing up. If you don't get an invite, you can always use their mobile site instead.

You're still wondering what is GetGlue? Well, it enables users to check-in to TV shows, movies, music and books, plus let's them see what their friends are watching/listening/reading in real-time.

With yesterday's Bold 9650 leak of OS 6.0.0.466 comes a leaked version of Blackberry Messenger 5.0.1.46.

This update brings bug fixes, but it seems that the famous cursor issue is still present. Hopefully we will see a higher official version soon that solves the cursor issue or maybe even BBM 6.0!

Aircel is listening to their customers & providing them with an offical update for their Blackberry Pearl 3G, in the form of OS 6.0.0.380. Although this OS is much lower than those who have leaked (We've recently seen OS 6.0.0.424), it's a safe bet for those who like to load an "Official" OS.

If you've been patiently awaiting a new update of the OS for your Verizon/Sprint Bold 9650, you're in luck today. Although this is only a slight jump from the previous leak of 6.0.0.431, it certainly brings a few bug fixes.

Warning: Please remember that this IS NOT an official release OS. If you wish to install this OS keep in mind that this may cause your phone to not function correctly. BlackberryOS and any other BlackberryOS Official sites are not responsible. If you are not comfortable and/or unsure as how to upgrade to this OS, please click the link below.
