Have a Blackberry or an Iphone? Makeaquick.com discovers some free applications!





My roommate got the Blackberry Bold recently. I’ve always been a fan of Blackberrys. I had a Curve most recently and really loved it. When working with clients and advertisers from www.makeaquick.com , it’s important to keep in contact and be able to view word files, powerpoint presentations and more seamlessly while I’m on the road. Since I was due for a cellphone upgrade, I thought it would be cool to get the Blackberry 8900. It has a lot of the features that are the same as the Blackberry Bold with the exception of G.

So far I’m loving it! I spent a couple hours online searching for free Blackberry apps to make my life easier and that I thought would interest our www.makeaquick.com team. I found some pretty interesting stuff.

Do you hate texting while driving or are simply lazy and hate typing long-ass text messages to clients or friends, especially those who refuse to call you and insist on texting you a novel? Well then VLINGO is for you. VLINGO basically allows you to “Speak” into your device and have applications carry out their respective functions. This includes sending emails, texts, memos, browser web searches, social-networking status messages and much more. AND this thing actually works, you don’t have to talk slow or like a robot, and it doesn’t make a ton of errors. Check it out at: http://www.vlingo.com/

For those slackers at work, not us at www.makeaquick.com of course, we found the ideal application for you!


Sling Media just released a new Sling Player application for Blackberry. What’s a Sling Player you might ask? A Sling Player allows you to watch your favorite television program that you have at home on your mobile device. The Sling Box attaches to your cable box, it costs only a few hundred bucks, and the Blackberry application is free. So if you’re at work late, or on a business trip in Japan, you can watch Boston Legal, Survivor, the football/basketball game, or any of your favorite television programs on your phone. Not only is it super cool if you love television, but it is virtually changing how people enjoy media. If you have a DVR or a TIVO, you can even watch the programs you have recorded.

If you have an iphone, the new application is being released really soon! Check out: http://www.slingmedia.com/
