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.
Taken from Gcalsync Website:

Im always a compulsive note taker which makes my Blackberry's built in memo pad one of my most use software. Altough my phones built in memo pad is adequate, its always nice to have something different. ActionPad presents itself as an interesting add on that works in harmony with your Blackberry's Memopad software. In fact ActionPad requires Blackberry Memopad to be installed inorder for it to work.
ActionPad has some great features I wish was present in Memopad, like individual memo encryption and easy category changes. ActionPad has some unique features which it calls as behaviors; auto date stamp on the title, auto title numbering and much more. There's also some integration with your phone's calendar and address book.
