While it's literally been five days since Navita Translator v2.6.7.5 was released in the BlackBerry App World, a new one has already arrived. With this v2.6.7.6 upgrade comes:

If you're new to Navita Translator or trying to decide whether you should download the app, these are some things you really should know. Navita Translator allows the operator to translate and speak words and phrases from emails, browsers, SMS messages and even typing in the app. Navita Translator is able to translate more than 50 languages and can speak languages such as English, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, French, German and Russian. You can also send your translations to Twitter, Email, and PIN to share with your friends. One thing even better? It's compatible with every BlackBerry device.

The seasons are changing, y'all, and you know what that means! It's ugly sweater season and RIM is having its very own Ugly Sweater Contest on Twitter. Here's what you'll need:

Once you've completed those easy steps, tweet your Ugly Sweater Avatar to @BlackBerry using the hashtag "#BBMUglySweater" as well as your most desired BlackBerry device of the holiday season. Lucky for y'all, you're able to actually enter this contest ten (10) times! How awesome is that? But you better hurry, the contest ends tonight at midnight, eastern standard time. Once the time is up, contest judges will pick 30 finalists based on previously decided criteria (i.e. creativeness, awesomeness, uniqueness..). If you're picked as a finalist, you will be contacted via Twitter. The winners will get two tickets to #BBMUglySweater Fan Night being held at the Silver Aspen Social Club in New York City on December 21, 2011. Once there, the winners will also receive their very own BlackBerry 7 device and a prize pack full of BlackBerry goodies! Of course, if you're lucky enough to win, you'll have to pay for your own transportation to and from this party. To be eligible to receive the BlackBerry 7 device and prizes, you must be present at the Fan Night. You can find more details on the @BlackBerry Twitter page or read the Official Contest Rules. Now pull out those BlackBerrys and start adorning your avatars in ugly sweaters!

Well whatever RIM did to patch up the first DingleBerry exploit was not enough for a second one to be discovered only hours after the new PlayBook OS update. At this rate, we'll be seeing a lot of PlayBook updates in the near future it seems. According to @cmwdotme, RIM's patch did work against it the first time but this second hack uses another exploit entirely. Let the cat and mouse game begin.

Twitter for BlackBerry v2.1.0.27 has arrived! But not quite yet in the BlackBerry App World. If you weren't as fortunate as me to have your BlackBerry pop up with a little notice that Twitter would be unavailable to you until you upgraded, here's what's going to happen: either one of the BBOS bloggers are going to update this article post as soon as it is available for us to link to you, or you can continue refreshing App World. Your pick. Also along with the link to upgrade will be the change log, of course.

Update: Twitter for BlackBerry v2.1.0.27 is slowly but surely arriving.

High school students taking a foreign language, rejoice! Navita Translator has upgraded to version 2.6.7.5.

Navita Translator allows the operator to translate and speak words and phrases from emails, browsers, SMS messages and even typing in the app. Navita Translator is able to translate more than 50 languages and can even speak languages such as English, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, French, German and Russian. You can also send your translations to Twitter, Email, and PIN. One thing even better? It's compatible with every BlackBerry device.

Update: Apparently App World 3.1.0.38 which was released this afternoon had some major issues with BlackBerry ID that prevent many users from using App World. The Beta Zone has now released a newer version (3.1.0.40) which is now available for download in the Downloads tab.
