VELVET FEATURES:
° Fluid Performance

EmacBerry slipped out another rich update to one of the best BlackBerry apps today. v2.8.0.1 is now live or rolling out for FileScout, FileScoutLite & the Trial Version for those who purchased elsewhere originally like MobiHand stores like ours.
Changed or Updated:
° FileScout & FileScoutLite ZIP-file handing have been re-written
° With the new v2.8.0.1 build there should be no limitation concerning the file size of ZIP-Archives that you could browse or de-compress with FileScout (or FileScoutLite)
° When you unzip a large (e.g. 100MB+) archive, please have in mind that you still hold a mobile device in your hands (and not a PC or Mac equipped with a SSD). Most of the time that is required (to process an ZIP-Archive) will be needed for the actual reading (of the compressed stream) and the writing (of the de-compressed data)
° The new build will also report almost instantly, if an archive can’t be read by the application (probably cause it is corrupted/broken)
° Please note that even if most of the ZIP code have been rewritten FileScout is still not able to read password protected archives – sorry
Go check out this and all previous Changelogs of FileScout here: http://www.emacberry.com/bbfs/bbfilescout_04log.html.
FileScoutLite users can update via device here!
FileScout Pro & Trial users can update via device here!

I’ve been asking MMMOOO when, oh when will we start seeing some of your cute BlackBerry themes hit OS7 devices, and finally we’re stoked to say their latest, Hard Candy supports most BlackBerry 7.0 devices!
Hard Candy also supports all other BlackBerry devices beginning with OS4.6 to 7.0. Price $0.99! Specific devices on 7.0 are Curve 9350, 9360, 9370, Torch 9810, Bold 9900, 9930 & 9981 of course.
Smarter Apps slipped this gem out right before Christmas and we just didn’t get a chance to issue a fair review at the time. I picked Vampire Hunter up shortly thereafter and quickly got hooked on it like many previous games in their trove.
Vampire Hunter is a premium priced game coming in at $4.99, with compatibility for every BlackBerry device running OS 4.7 to 7.0. And after getting the last 3 Free from SA it seemed a fair price to pay for a 4th game I’d end up loving as well.
UPDATE!
° Vampire Hunter is Now Available in a FREE Trial Version as of 01/05/2012 here
http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/68137
Features:
° Engaging audio and visual experience
° 3 unique game boards with 15 levels each for a total of 45 different levels
° Advance through the levels to earn new weapons and defences to fend
off more challenging enemies
