Two New Reasons To Love Your Blackberry

Google Voice for Blackberry – Change the Way You Use Your Phone
Today, Google Voice application arrives for Android and BlackBerry phones.
Here is the good word from the Official Google Blog:
“The new application improves the way you use your phone. You can get transcripts of your voicemail (see the video below) and archive and search all of the SMS text messages you send and receive. You can also use the service to make low-priced international calls and easily access Goog-411 directory assistance.”
GrandCentral lets you use a single number to ring your home, work, and mobile phones, a central voicemail inbox that can be accessed on the web, and call screening via listening in live on your callers as they leave a message.
WordPress for Blackberry App!
The second reason to rejoice, is the new WordPress blogging app for Blackberry announced at this year’s WordCamp 2009 in San Francisco which will allow you to run your your own custom WordPress installation from your Blackberry phone. It looks great and promises to afford BB/WP users newfound freedom and mobility to run blogs as they jetset around the planet.
As I mentioned at WP-Blogger.com:
“Automattic is developing a full-blown WordPress blogging app for all models of Research in Motion’s Blackberry phones including the 8700, Pearl, Curve, Bold, and Storm. Although the app is still in beta, it can be downloaded for free so you can test it out and ideally even offer some feedback on its progress.”
Check out the article for the full details and a video from WordPress TV about the development of this amazing new application for your BB.
Blackberry users, let the good times roll.
