20 Useful Blackberry Apps & Sites to Find Applications

Today has turned into Blackberry App day for me. I’ve been searching the various corners of the net to find the best Blackberry Apps. Unlike the iPhone, Blackberry users are left utilizing 3rd party Apps to better customize and add functional Apps to their device. Below, you’ll find 20 Cool Blackberry Apps and sites to search and find more.

Slacker Radio gives you the ability to listen to over 100 free music genres. Store music directly on your device so you can play even when you have no connection. Slacker Radio provides detailed information for each album and artist. If Slacker Radio isn’t for you, you could always give Flycast a listen. Flycast gives you over 1000 radio channels for news, sports, weather, talk and traffic. Search radio stations by city or genre and save your favorites.

If you like the iPod Touch/iPhone Slide to Unlock function, SlidetoUnlock gives you the same identical looking function for your blackberry. BBScreenShooter lets you get screen-shots of your Blackberry screen. It’s great for sharing pictures of apps, blogging, etc.

If you would like a mobile-friendly site, enter the url in Google’s GWT tool and decide whether you want to include pictures or not.

Productivity
Google Calendar can be quite handy. With Google Sync, you can sync your Google Calendar directly with your Blackberry Calendar. I use it all the time! If you use GMail, you’ll probably want to try the GMail App. Get more mobile apps with Google Mobile. Just type in your phone number & they’ll send you the link to download from your Blackberry.

Media/Movies/Entertainment
Everyone loves YouTube. With this App, you can search for, save and watch any YouTube Video directly on your Blackberry. If you don’t want to limit yourself to YouTube clips, you may want to try Vuclip.
