    BBM 6.1.0.49 Now Available In App World

    Its been a busy day for the folks over at RIM. BBM 6.1 has been released from beta testing and is now available for download from App World. BBM 6.1 provides a wealth of new features that provide even more functionality and entertainment. BBM is way ahead of the competition when it comes to instant messaging. Personally I love the animated avatars!

    Take a look at some of the new features included in BBM 6.1 (taken from Beta release Blog):
    • Animated avatars – We’ve added a new dimension to the options on your BBM display picture – animated avatars! These avatars use controlled animation, which means that motion is activated when you scroll over the avatar. Three animated avatars are available as part of this beta as a sneak peek (including a “smile,” “laughter” and “in love”). We’re planning to add a larger selection of animated avatars after the beta trial is completed. You can access these avatars when changing your display picture within the Avatars folder. (Note: Animated avatars are only supported on BlackBerry smartphone OS 5.0 and higher.

    • 12 new emoticons – A picture is worth a thousand words, or so the saying goes. With the addition of 12 fun emoticons in your BBM catalog, there are now more ways for you to express yourself and personalize messages to your friends. These new emoticons were created based on suggestions from customers participating in beta trials – look for more to come in future releases. And please make sure to leave us a comment and let us know what other emoticons you’d like to see. We’re listening!

    • Increased character count for personal messages – Whether it’s keeping your contacts posted on your whereabouts or sharing your mood for the day, you can now say more in your regular updates to your BBM friends. We’ve more than doubled the size of your personal message space to 160 characters, so that you can now share your trials and tribulations in much greater detail.

    • Colored chat bubbles – BBM users can now customize the color of chat bubbles for contacts. With 10 colors to choose from, you can pre-assign colors to your contacts by simply going into your BBM contacts’ profile and selecting a desired contact chat color. This feature is great for organizing the many BBM contacts you have and makes it easier to recognize types of conversations (I’m assigning colors to work, friends, and family. My boss is blue, my family is yellow, and colleagues and friends will get their own color-coding, too.)

    • Camera/Display Picture Integration – Now you’ll be able to snap a picture and display it right away! There are now fewer steps between taking that great picture with your BlackBerry smartphone and making it your BBM Display Picture. Now you can update your BBM avatar right from the BlackBerry smartphone camera app by selecting “Set as BBM Display Picture” from the menu options.

    RIM has just released the new native Music Store app via BlackBerry Beta Zone. With Music Store you can find and buy music directly from your device and keep that music integrated into your media library for easy playback. It's also BBM, Facebook and Twitter integrated for easy song and album sharing with your fans and friends. Nice to see RIM becoming more media friendly. Note: We have heard reports that Music Store is NOT OS 7.1 friendly.

    A must have app for me is BeBuzz and it has just been updated to version 5.0.22. If you currently have version 5.x the update is FREE, but an upgrade from version 3 or 4 is $1.99. BeBuzz allows you to personlize the LED on your device in many ways. Different colors for notifications like text messages, BBM, E-mail, calender, tasks, coverage indicator, missed calls and so on. You can customize your contacts with different colors as well, and it will also let you choose specific colors for many third party apps.

    The change-log for this update includes:
    • BBM chat history is not being deleted anymore
    • BeBuzz support now works whether BBM chat is set to device or memory card
    • Extended complimentary Text-to-Speech until January 31, 2012
    • Added support for browsing for ringtones (pre-installed ringtones cannot be used)
    • Automatically reverting to legacy BBM when there is no BBM contact and no toast/TTS for BBM
    • Added warning in setup wizard that BBM chat history has to be on
    • Fixed display bug in OS 5.0 and before
    • Fixed NullPointerException when pressing volume up/down keys without Text-to-Speech outputting audio
    • Fixed Text-to-Speech volume setting not correctly applied, leading to silent/non-working Text-to-Speech
    • Update BeBuzz for FREE if you have V5.x or upgrade your current version for $1.99

    A couple of days ago, Mahmood from Devcellent Solutions shooted me an email about their newest app Email++. After using it for a couple of days I can already tell this is a must have app for BlackBerry users everywhere.

    What is Email++ and what does it do

    Email++ brings the convenience of a desktop email client to the powerful always-on BlackBerry email by augmenting the features of the existing BlackBerry email app. It is essentially a plugin for the BlackBerry email app that does not add mere menu items to the email app's menu but instead, it is a graphical toolbar that gets embedded right on the BlackBerry email App. Users of Email++ will have access to its features instantly while viewing or composing emails. Simply by scrolling up from any email message will reveal this toolbar.

    The pictures say it all, Twitter for BlackBerry definitely came out on top in my search of Twitter for BlackBerry vs HootSuite. I don't mean to say that HootSuite is all bad or that T4BB is perfect, but for now, this is how the results will stand.

    I've looked high & low for a FourSquare app for the BlackBerry PlayBook, but apparently I wasn't looking in the right places. While looking recently in "Recently Updated" apps on App World, I noticed FourPlay.

    FourPlay For PlayBerry PlayBook
    is exactly what you'd expect from a FourSquare app on your tablet. This 3rd party Foursquare app brings all the features you'll find on your official FourSquare app found on your BlackBerry Smartphone. I was amazed at the fact that my location was more accurate within this app than it is when I use my Bold 9900.

    With many tweaks/updates rumored to be coming to a future build planned to be released around the same time as PlayBook OS 2.0, & with no plans official 4Sq app on the horizon, this application is a must have for anyone who checks-in often.

    We all love our BlackBerry apps. We love them so much in fact we wish we had more in our community. Unfortunately upgrading these apps can sometimes get a little annoying as certain confusing problems may present themselves when doing so. One of the most common and frustrating problems when upgrading an app is the missing icon error.

    The problem

    You will be upgrading an app, let's say App World for this example, the upgrade will finish and you will be prompted to restart your phone in order to complete the upgrade. You do as you are prompted and restart your phone. After 2-8 min (unbelievable it still takes this long on some phones) you get back to your home screen, you look for the app you just upgrade and it is nowhere to be found.
