Today was the big day that I FINALLY got my invite to SocialScope…. and boy was it worth the wait! Bye, bye, UberTwitter. Below are screenshots and downloads (scroll down for previous versions of SocialScope). By the way, I have a Blackberry Storm, running OS 4.7.0.151. If you don’t have this device and OS, this JAD won’t work with your device!
Download: SocialScope Lite 0.9.5.44

One noticeable bug is that the Facebook feed isn’t properly identifying your Facebook friends, so while you see the activity and status updates, you can’t tell which friend said it. Read the full post >>
Wondering what happened to the Storm OS .141 update we said should have dropped late last month? We had heard rumors of some problems with the OS but over the weekend we got word from a trusted ninja that the much anticipated OS .141 has failed Verizon Wireless’ testing.
Oh. No.
Too many glitches remain, so this update is supposedly dead in the water. There is no word yet on a new OS version nor any expected release date for a future update. The big question now is what RIM and Verizon will do with the Storm. Will we see another 4.7 version go through testing, will both companies ditch 4.7 and roll out an OS 5.0 update or will development on the Storm be shelved in lieu of the rumored Storm 2?

If you like Twitterberry, you will LOVE ÜberTwitter (a Twitter client). I’ve been using UberTwitter Beta-1 but just upgraded to the newly released Beta-2 software upgrade. One of the things that I love most about ÜberTwitter that I couldn’t ever get Twitterberry to work for me is the integrated picture sharing. For more info, check out my related blog post: Review: Twitter Apps for the Blackberry that Have Integrated Picture Sharing.
This latest release “rolls out a large number of new features (requested by YOU!) and from pre-release testing promises greater stability. There are still features on our list, and we will ultimately have a Beta-3, we aren’t even close to being satisfied with the feature set yet. Once you have a chance to play with it, please let us know your thoughts on missing features and any issues or bugs.” Read the full post >>
If there is one request that I had for my Storm it would be to have an app that seamlessly integrates taking pictures and instantly uploading them to Twitter. Below are some thoughts on Snap2Twitter, Twitterberry, and my personal winner, UberTwitter. The reviews below are specifically on the picture sharing capabilities of the Twitter apps.
BEST: UberTwitter
I have been a faithful user of Twitterberry for as long as I can remember. But, let me say this… I LOVE UberTwitter. I repeat, I LOVE IT. Read the full post >>
YEAH! I’m happy to upgrade!
Ok… so the CDMA and java files for .122 have been available for a little over a week now, but not the full executable. It was very hard for me to tell my impulsive self to just wait until the .exe file was released before upgrading. Not to mention, I was wary of trying to modify my OS by just replacing a couple of folders… oh, and did I mention, I couldn’t figure it out either. (hehe.)
So last night I was excited to upgrade my existing OS leak v.114 to the official OS v.122 available from Bell Mobility.
Observations so far… Read the full post >>
