The people from PodcastReady created the most convenient Podcast client. PodcastReady's MyPodder software is a podcast client that is actually portable, enabling you to directly install it to your mp3 player, in our case our Blackberry. MyPodder is simply like having a portable version of itunes in your Blackberry that you can update whenever you plug in your Blackberry to a Windows, Mac and even a Linux machine. As long as the computer you connect to your Blackberry has mass storage support you can run MyPodder and download your latest audio and video podcasts.
To get the latest version of myPodder you need to create a free account in the Podcast Ready website and download the "All in one version(Windows,Mac,Linux)". You then need to install MyPodder to your Blackberrys media card, preferably inside the Blackberry folder so all your audio and video podcast can be recognize by your Blackberry's media player.
Creating new podcast is easy you just choose the podcast you like in the Podcast Ready website and your list will show up in your Blackberry's myPodder automatically. You can also follow any Podcast not found in Podcast Ready by just entering the RSS feed.
It can't get much easier than this, I can now download Podcasts while I'm charging my Blackberry. Just in case for some reason you don't want to create an account in Podcast Ready I've included a link to an older version of myPodder that does not require opening an account.
Download Lastest version of myPodder: Podcast Ready ( req a free account ) Download Old version of myPodder: Podcast Ready Old Version (RSS links have to be manually entered)
Yahoo Finance is one of the top 5 financial portals in the Internet. Its not surprising a roll out of smartphone apps for the Yahoo fanance was just a matter of time. I'm just glad the Blackberry was one number one in their list.
Yahoo Finance for the Blackberry currently has these features;
- Currency Search - Financial new aggregator - Stock quotes and graphs - View your Yahoo Finance Portfolio - Real time data and after market analysis - Statistics
Overall the software is a solid financial app for the blackberry I can't for them to open a UK version.
Google has finally came out with an official Google Calendar Sync software for the Blackberry. I was so excited to get this and see it work so efficiently, I must have emailed all of my friends with a Blackberry.
It feels great to make entries with your Blackberry's native or built it calendar and have it sync with your Google Calendar. I can view my Google Calendar entries even when I don't have any Internet connection, which happens to me all the time when I travel outside the country.
Google has done a great service to all Google Calendar users who have a Blackberry, I'm sure this is going to make their Calendar service even more popular.
There a new synchronization software that would allow you to sync your blackberry phone with your Gmail Account addresses. The software is a small download and comes with instructions on how to make the connection.
