RIM’s version of the Apple App Store is now here. It’s called the BlackBerry App World and has hundreds of apps for your phone. All your usual suspect apps are there: Facebook, MySpace, Ticketmaster, etc.
CompanionLink users won’t need to download anything special since our software syncs data directly with the native address book, calendar and tasks applications on BlackBerry devices. Simple.
Mathew Miller, blogger for ZDNet and a host for the Mobile Tech Roundup podcast, endorses CompanionLink for Google Android.
“I was pleased to read that CompanionLink Software now has a way for you to sync your PIM data between Outlook, Lotus Notes, Palm Desktop, Novell Groupwise, and other clients to your T-Mobile G1.”
“…this is a nice step in the right direction.”

CNET sums up the T-Mobile G1 handheld quite nicely:
“…it has the potential to make smartphones more personal and powerful. That said, it’s not quite there yet, so for now, the G1 is best suited for early adopters and gadget hounds, rather than consumers and business users.”

The BlackBerry Storm, their first attempt at a touch-screen device, is coming for thie 2008 holiday season. It will only be available through Verizon. Essentially, it boasts a touch-screen display with a tactile response. When you touch the screen, you’re actually pushing down on it. The screen moves down as you push. This is called haptics. I think “touch-screen” should be replaced with “push-screen”.
The device will run BlackBerry’s newest OS – BlackBerry OS 4.7. CompanionLink expects full compatibility with this OS and device.
