RESQBug.com – Geek Speak to English

Steve Jobs was more than a founder of a computer company that kept Microsoft on its toes. He helped change the world for the better.  I think that the last word should be his own.  Please click on the link below to see, in his own words, “How to Live before you Die”.

Steve Jobs on How to Live, Before you Die

Rest in peace,  Steve Jobs

No matter where you are there are some key applications your just shouldn’t be without.  I’m going to by-pass the expected like Facebook and Twitter and some unexpected but helpful apps.  So here is my list of must have applications,  with a brief explanation why and the cost, if any.

1. Blackberry Protect -Lost your smartphone? No problem, your data is backed up with this application.  From the website you can find and  lock your device.  If you are pretty sure you’re not going to see it again, just a couple of clicks and   you have delete the information on your smartphone and the memory card.
2. Blackberry Travel  – This applications makes it easy to plan, book, manage and share your travel activities.  It can even identify gaps – like a hotel stay that ends before your flight out.
3. netTalk – Need to make a call to someone in North America for free? Here is your application. I recommend using Wi-Fi for best performance
4. UrbanSpoon -  Looking for someplace to eat, but in your budget? This application will find all the best spots in your area code!
5. BBM – Yes Blackberry Messenger it’s big with all the teen, but its the perfect tool for contacting clients, employees or family in real-time.   Why do you everyone is trying to build a mobile application just like it!
6. gwabbit – Too busy to enter contact information from an email into your address book?  No problem, this application scans all incoming emails for contact information and adds it to your address book.  It doesn’t get an easier!
7. Plug It In –   Every found yourself with a dead battery at the wrong time?  This application will tell you when the battery  is at 30%  or less, if you are comfortable with that.
8. Poynt -   Need to find a business, restaurant or movie theatre in a specific area? Just type in  the name and the application will map the route
9. Vlingo – Want to send an email, text (SMS) while your hands aren’t free?   Keep this app in mind.
10. Blackberry Traffic – Listen to your favorite radio station via the Internet, no matter where you are.

Remember, that the only dumb question is the one never asked. If you have any questions or comments, I look forward to them, please email or call me.

Cheers.
