Blackberry Apps

Filed under: Blackberry — jon @ 9:11 am

I’ve only used the BenchmarkMagic program so far, but may use others.

CRYPTMAGIC: From Their Site: Save your passwords, credit card numbers, PINs and other confidential data safely and encrypted on your BlackBerry and keep it synced with your PC.

SHOPMAGIC: From Their Site: With ShopMagic shopping becomes dead easy!
Everyone who goes shopping without a shopping list often states at home
that somewhat important was forgotten to purchase.
That means to go shopping again.
ShopMagic manages your grocery list!

Bacn

Filed under: Just Plain Funny, Life — jon @ 2:02 pm

Email you receive that isn’t spam… And isn’t personal mail. It’s the middle class of email. It’s notifications of a new post to your Facebook wall or a new follower on Twitter. It’s the Google alert for your name and the newsletter from your favorite company.
