While reading New York Time I found very interesting article by BOB TEDESCHI about mobile apps. He wrote that CELLPHONES are no longer just for talking, texting and shooting snapshots. The arrival of cellphone apps, driven at first by the iPhone, has led to a proliferation of programs that put a universe of user-friendly services at your fingertips. You can identify a song, listen to music selected to suit your personal taste, buy concert tickets, find medical advice and stay connected to various social media, all at no extra cost.
ELECTRONIC EAR FOR MUSIC Shazam might be the most shown-off cellphone app these days. Open the program, hold it up to a speaker and Shazam will deliver the song name, artist and album — then put you within one click of buying the song or reading the liner notes. The program is available for iPhones, the T-Mobile G1 and Android phones, and BlackBerrys, and it’s free.
USER-TAILORED TUNES Pandora is one of the most addictive pieces of software known to man. Create a playlist with a few selections, and Pandora infers your musical tastes and builds you a personalized radio station. Rate or reject new songs and the station gets smarter and better. The app works on BlackBerrys, iPhones and Windows Mobile phones, and it is free.

I’m not sure how many of you would remember Pokemon, but it used to be an extremely popular Game Boy video game and card game. At least it was while I was in grade school, I don’t know if it still is.
My buddy Sados Demetrios has created a free theme for the BlackBerry Storm styled after the PokeDex, a gadget in Pokemon that helps identify and save details about old and new Pocket Monsters.
Sados has created many awesome and free themes for various BlackBerry devices. View the ones I’ve posted about so far here, or visit his website.
