T here is no question that we BlackBerry users are at a disadvantage when it comes applications as compared to users of other smartphone platforms like the iPhone and Android.  The list of reasons that this is the case is long and, at the end of the day, RIM has simply got to do better when it comes to BlackBerry applications.  There are,however, several BlackBerry applications that should have been developed and released a long time ago, and, I personally am just plain tired of waiting on them… LinkedIn for BlackBerry I know that LinkedIn for BlackBerry is currently being worked on and only has been in the “ coming soon ” category since last November, but, this is an application that should have come out a long time ago. For those of you not familiar with LinkedIn , think Facebook for business professionals.  My guess is just about every BlakBerry touting LinkedIn member that logs in more than once per week would download LinkedIn for BlackBerry. Release the dang thing already! SlingPlayer Mobile For BlackBerry Storm I know making an application for BlackBerry devices with keyboards and then remaking the same application for the Storm and Storm2 can be a chore, but, c’mon SlingMedia.  It makes no for there still to be no SlingPlayer Mobile for the BlackBerry Storm.

If you are a Verizon BlackBerry user there is a good chance that you’ve already had the installer icon for Social Beat for BlackBerry pushed to your device.

Think Social Scope, but, not in a state of never ending beta and attainable by all Verizon BlackBerry users

Elecite.com has a new BlackBerry theme out that I’m toying around with on my BlackBerry Storm.  It is called Ace , and, I have to admit that it is pretty slick. Ace has that app card (iTunes)  look and feel to it with 5-6 customizable icons at the top which you can access via the “custom” button as well as 4 (locked) quick access icons for your Profiles, Weather, Facebook and clock.  In addition, Ace has a dedicated weather Icon, 10-11 (locked) quick access app card icons and a Today style preview area so you don’t have to open your messages and calendar apps to see what’s inside.

Just over a year ago, Rod Simmons from Simple Mobile Review , wrote a great guest post for us on his thoughts on moving to the BlackBerry Storm from and iPhone user point of view .  Now he’d like to get something off his chest about BlackBerry App World. Is it just me or is the Blackberry App World a train wreck. Navigating for apps in App World is like getting a grain of sand in your eyes at the beach.

I guess this should go in the “Kind of Cool” category?  mplayit has created a BlackBerry app store on Facebook.  I am not sure how mplayit monetizes this store because it seems like everything, or, at least everything that I clicked on sends you to BlackBerry App World to download and / or purchase. If  it weren’t for the fact that mplayit has stores for the iPhone and mobile devices in general I would almost believe that it was a shadow company of RIM.
