RIM is moving at a really great pace lately when it comes to updating their software. The beta program is an excellent idea as it helps users get fast access to software and lets them know that they’re working hard to give users a better overall experience. The latest newcomer to the beta program is the upcoming BlackBerry Desktop Software 6.0. The first invitations to join the program are going out, or have gone out today for Beta Zone members. Make sure to register today and hopefully you will get your invite.

Register for the Beta Zone at blackberry.com/beta and click through for more screenshots of Desktop Manager 6.

Will The BlackBerry Twitter Client Social Scope Ever Come Out Of Beta?

Social Scope

When it comes to BlackBerry Twitter clients, there certainly is no shortage of options for you to choose from.  Unfortunately, however, the BlackBerry Twitter client considered by many to be the best, Social Scope, has been in closed beta for what seems like the past couple of years and a production release, or, even an open beta available to whomever wishes to download it is no where in sight.

Will Social Scope ever come out of beta?

For those of you lucky enough to have the latest version, is it worth the wait?  Personally, I’ve moved on a while ago.  The Official Twitter for BlackBerry client is my BlackBerry Twitter app of choice and I have UberTwitter installed as well.  Ever now and again, however, I hear some say how awesome Social Scope is and it makes me wonder why they haven’t released it yet.

Oh yeah…  Be sure to follow @RIMarkable regardless of what BlackBerry Twitter client you are using…

Beta Testers Needed for mProductive Task, Calendar and Event Management App

mProductive is a new app by the same people who brought you mCaller. The app allows you to create action items from calls, emails and SMS’s which then appear in your native BlackBerry task list, calendar and memo pad. Once the items are created, you can link them quickly to groups, and then view them automatically by day, week, future, overdue and more.

If you have a BlackBerry (OS greater than v4.2.1), and are looking for a fresh perspective on how to better organize your life and are willing to provide constructive feedback, then send an email to support@mproductive.com to participate in the beta program. Participation will require confidentiality.

BlackBerry Applications I’m Tired Of Waiting On

BlackBerry Software

There is no question that we BlackBerry users are at a disadvantage when it comes applications as compared to users of other smartphone platforms like the iPhone and Android.  The list of reasons that this is the case is long and, at the end of the day, RIM has simply got to do better when it comes to BlackBerry applications.  There are,however, several BlackBerry applications that should have been developed and released a long time ago, and, I personally am just plain tired of waiting on them…

LinkedIn for BlackBerry

I know that LinkedIn for BlackBerry is currently being worked on and only has been in the “coming soon” category since last November, but, this is an application that should have come out a long time ago.

For those of you not familiar with LinkedIn, think Facebook for business professionals.  My guess is just about every BlakBerry touting LinkedIn member that logs in more than once per week would download LinkedIn for BlackBerry.

Release the dang thing already!

SlingPlayer Mobile For BlackBerry Storm

I know making an application for BlackBerry devices with keyboards and then remaking the same application for the Storm and Storm2 can be a chore, but, c’mon SlingMedia.  It makes no for there still to be no SlingPlayer Mobile for the BlackBerry Storm.

I would argue the the BlackBerry to give users the most enjoyable viewing experience is the Storm or Storm2.  I can’t speak for everyone one a SlingBox and a BlackBerry Storm, but, there is no question that you would get another $30 out of me if you just released SlingPlayer Mobile for the BlackBerry Storm.

Social Scope

Many would argue that the best BlackBerry Twitter application out there is the one that you cannot get.  Social Scope has been in a state of perpetual closed beta for what seems like forever.  Many of the BlackBerry users accepted into the Social Scope beta program can’t get the latest version of the beta, which from what I am told is the best Twitter application, bar none.I am beginning to wonder if Social Scope has missed it’s window to become a huge success because there are several free BlackBerry Twitter clients that are, not only free, but quite good.

Just off the top of my head I can think of dozens on BlackBerry applications that should exist, but, don’t.  To new a few more there is TweetDeck for BlackBerry, Xobni for BlackBerry, Gowalla for BlackBerry, etc, etc, etc.  I know that there are many more that I am not thinking of, so, I you have a BlackBerry application that you are tired of waiting on, let us know about it in the comments.
