There’s really no app I prefer that’s like Poynt more than Poynt. And now that Poynt is being used by over 9.5 million unique users on BlackBerry, iPhone, Android, Windows Phone 7 & Nokia smart-phones everyday they wanted to do a little something special for lucky #10,000,000!
That’s right Poynt is giving the ten millionth user a $2,000.00 (two-thousand dollars) travel voucher! And with 9.5 million already using this app everyday that leaves just 500 thousand till you or someone you know might win!

I recently started up a couple GroupMe groups on my BlackBerry Bold 9930. But realized it wasn’t quite up to par with the other platforms yet. Well as of Monday that all changed! GroupMe v3.0.1 is now available for BlackBerry including all 7.0 devices. And it’s quite good!
For me I see GroupMe as an awesome way to connect with everyone, including developers, friends, industry leaders and more who don’t all share the same platform. A fresh place to get together and connect, and it gets better every update.
NEW Features in GroupMe v3.0
— Questions (Beta) Ask a question to spark a conversation. Use it to plan a night out, chat about something with your friends as it happens, or whatever else you want! Direct it to a few people or an entire group, or even post it to Twitter and Facebook.
— Direct Messaging Send a message directly to another GroupMe user—because sometimes, you don’t need to say it to the whole group. Just tap on a user’s avatar anywhere you see it, and have a one-on-one conversation without ever leaving the app.
— Wed Chat Now you can participate in conversations on GroupMe from the comfort of your desk. When you log in to our website, every group and question you’re participating in will be waiting for your next message, just like in our app. Plus, the website is optimized for mobile browsers, so if your smartphone doesn’t already have the GroupMe app available, you can chat for free wherever you are.
One of the most influential BlackBerry development teams, Bellshare added another layer to their high quality products recently asking customers to give feedback on how they can improve their apps. Pretty genius if you ask me.
It took me about 2 minutes to drop my own suggestion and vote on another one over at http://feedback.bellshare.com/forums/134069-bebuzz which for now is the home page. Besides BeBuzz users can vote or suggest on BerryPopUp, BerryReader, BerryWeather, BerryWeather for Android & SmartAlerts.
Reading my emails and checking tweets this morning I got a few people talking about BlackBerry App World 3.0 going official. A quick scurry over to http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/appworld/download.jsp would reveal that indeed to be true.

Features
— New design
— App Social Sharing
— New Channels
— Introduction of My Account

Yes we’ve covered this gem before. And bbt Designs put a lot of time and care into both styles. Bottom line is iLike & iLike OS7 are both superior themes. Honestly I thought they couldn’t get any better, but bbt saw it differently. The recent updates add quite a bit, including UI enhancements!
v1.1.0 change log:
*** File name CHANGED! This download will NOT replace your previous iLike OS7 download, as it is now renamed to “iLikeOS7″ (no space). With manually compiling, the system apparently does not like spaces, which was causing iLike OS7 to replace iLike on some devices. I am sorry for any inconvenience this caused. I am very happy I was able to find a fix! You can now run iLike and iLikeOS7 simultaneously with no problem. ***
* Embossed banner items, just like on iOS! Even on clock and coverage!
* Slightly larger, more i-accurate banner images (battery/signal/wifi).
* Slightly enlarged, bolder banner item font for improved visibility and more accurate representation of iOS banner font.
* Several bug fixes and enhancements to Home screen, including a bug where, when in Options Panel, and Today Area was launched on Keyboard devices, the Today Panel would be incorrectly placed.

I picked up ShortcutMe almost a week ago again for the Bold 9930 on 7.0 and without a doubt cannot get over how much I am loving this app again. When I saw that it would be our Deal of the Day today I knew I’d better share some words before the full review was finished.

Remember 3 years ago or so when there were all these alternative text messaging apps coming out for all the platforms claiming to look like the iPhone SMS or claiming to be free messaging? I know we do. Thing is only a couple really pulled through and flourished, CrunchSMS is one of those apps.
CrunchSMS is now available to all BlackBerry 7.0 devices! As well as integrated into the pull-down ‘Home Screen Notification List’. Since our last visit to Crunch, they’ve added a huge list of new features actually.
Our good friends over at Poynt let us know last month about the new feature in Poynt that allows users in a predetermined area to be informed by an alert when there could be a missing child in their area. Nothing could make us more proud than to see technology being used in such a positive manner like this!
POYNT NEWS: Poynt and Missing Children’s Society of Canada are announcing this morning the implementation of a Missing Child Alert with an international reach of eight countries and a user base of 10 million users. Today for the first time ever, Poynt and MCSC will be sending out an alert, marking the first time a smartphone application will be able to alert users in a predetermined location of missing Canadian children.
