The runtastic BlackBerry app has been completely redesigned and is now available with an improved and more intelligent user interface. Along with the graphic improvements, the performance of the app has been taken to a new level. The accuracy and exact tracking of altitude are key advancements of the app. Tracking sports activities with the new runtastic BlackBerry app is a highlight every time you work out and the instant analysis of your performance on both the app, and on runtastic.com, can be done right after completing an activity.

Waze v2.0.2.3 For BlackBerry Smartphones

App Reviews
Waze is a new kind of social networking app that allows drivers to build roads that haven't yet been "paved" on the app's map system, as well as use live (and most importantly: current) maps as well. The app enables users the opportunity to check real time traffic updates that other Waze users have posted while driving and even use GPS navigation! One thing I really like is that you get points for driving, paving roads, and even hitting little icons on the map for bonus points. The app supports all BlackBerry devices over 8900.

Hammerdown Monday: Trapster

Howdy hands, it's Monday again, and I'm on my way to Armpit, USA (New Jersey). I got me another load in Chocolate Town (Hershey, PA), so I'll be hualin Dispacther Brains (Empty trailer) when I pay the "Lemme outta Jersey" tax.

I gotta tell ya, all the bears (police) I see with customers (people pulled over by police) makes me wonder if anyone knows anything about Trapster, a handy app for BlackBerry, but also for Android and iPhone's too. Now, drivin a rig means I don't get the privilege of using a Bird dog (radar detector), it's against Federal law for me to even posses one in my truck. But that's why I have been using Trapster.

Hammerdown Monday is written by ADPerdue, a genuine Long Haul Trucker with eight years on the road, recently certified as having over one million accident and ticket free miles, and a bona fide BlackBerry junkie. Apps are rated from one gear to ten gears, with one meaning "don't use this app even if they pay ya", and ten meaning "if you don't have this app yet, you need some serious head shrinkin".

Watch a video in depth comparison of the BlackBerry Bold 9930 running OS 7 vs Apple's iPhone 4 running OS 5. My intention wasn't to cover everything in this video as it would have taken much longer, but the video does cover the main aspects of each device and how the compare to each other. The video is 22 minutes long, so grab a coffee or some popcorn and sit back and enjoy. Any thoughts or questions let us know!
