One of the cooler free BlackBerry Apps that I uses on a regular based on my BlackBerry Storm 9530 is WordPress for BlackBerry which has recently been updated to version 1.3 and is now available for download. All BlackBerry users know that the current BlackBerry Browser is… well, let’s just say that the BlackBerry Browser is challenged and using it to try to manage a WordPress installation while on the go is an exercise in futility. WordPress for BlackBerry, however, makes managing your blog from your BlackBerry pretty straight forward and is down right invaluable when moderating comments. Install WordPress for BlackBerry v1.3 from BlackBerry App World , or, download it OTA directly to your device by visiting http://blackberry.wordpress.org/download … WordPress For BlackBerry Updated To Version 1.3 is a post from: RIMarkable Related posts: WordPress For BlackBerry Now Available On BlackBerry App World Slacker Radio For BlackBerry Updated To Version 2.0.45 Official WordPress For BlackBerry App Now In Public Beta WordPress For BlackBerry 1.1 Now Available With Lots Of New Features
Salomondrin has posted a new video of the BlackBerry 9800 Slider . There isn’t a lot of stuff here that we haven’t seen before , but, I’ve got to say… The BlackBerry 9800 Slider is one slick device. I don’t believe I would be going out on a limb by stating that if BlackBerry 6 is solid and the new WebKit BlackBerry Browser doesn’t suck, AT&T will sell a ridiculous number of BlackBerry 9800 Sliders.

When Google Buzz hit the scene a few months ago, all the buzz was about how Buzz hijacked users GMail accounts by automatically turning stuff on. Since then, we really haven’t heard all the much about it. That being said Google Buzz support is now available on BlackBerry devices, however, it doesn’t come by way of a dedicated BlackBerry app. BlackBerry users can now access Google Buzz via the BlackBerry Browser and even access location based services if turned on.
Say what you want about Research in Motion, but, you have to give them credit when it comes to providing users with options. In an iPhone world, Apple provides you with features and you either learn to like them or buy another product. That being said, I hope that Flash in the upcoming BlackBerry 6 browser will allow users to enable or disable the loading of Flash content. When I think of RIM’s focus on security as they design devices it would lead you to believe Flash will not only be an optional feature but off by default
The upcoming BlackBerry Bold 9800 Slider still needs a bit of polish around the edges, however, the new device and BlackBerry 6 look just about ready to go. As I’ve said before, BlackBerry 6 looks like it is designed to run on a BlackBerry with a Touchscreen. We know that 6 will run on the BlackBerry Bold 9700, Bold 9650, and the yet to be officially announced BlackBerry Clamshell 9670. I’m anxious to see BlackBerry 6 running on a device with a physical QWERTY keyboard only.
