J Converter 2 (free unit converter) – Review

I cant tell you how this application is one of those which you think you don’t need till you do, or until someone asks you!

I was at work the other day and someone asked me if  I knew how many gallons in a litre, my diary told the answer. I was asked about something else which google solved!
This J converter 2 is great, it does pretty much everything you would use and more.  Even a few you may play with but will never have any use for.

Do you know how many watts are produced with 1 horsepower ???

The layout of the application is nice, it is broken down into sections so it is easy to see and find what you are converting.

This is a free application and I highly recommend getting it.

BIC® Concert Lighter! – Review

Picture yourself at a venue of your choice (concert, rave, club, well you get the picture)

That song comes on, you know the one, the one where everyone pulls out their lighters.

After a while the metal gets hot, the flame goes out, you run out of gas, you set someones hair on fire!

Not fun, well now you have a burn on your finger, no gas to light a cigarette and a bald person in front of you!

Fear not as this can all be avoided with BIC® Concert Lighter available from BlackBerry App World.

So now I have you interested it only works on the storm! I had no fun trying to use it on my 9700 as it did nothing!

So you have a storm 2, and you download the application, This is what you get:

  • a lighter
  • click to light flame
  • zoom in on the  flame (top picture)
  • choice of skins
  • lighter sound

What more could you ask for? so download and next time you need to pull out a lighter you can pull out your phone instead!

The Cost? Free

OPERA MINI

Now you all know Opera has made its jump out of beta, so I decided to put it to the test. Detailed information about Opera can be found here

I have used it on and off since I’ve been using BlackBerry

Is it quicker then the original browser? Yes, well I found it to be at least, and it also has a nicer layout. The start page is set so you can add your most used websites. My favorite option is being able to open more then one web page at once. Great when you want to look at multiple sites at once. Turning mobile view off in settings will load up the web page in all its glory enabling you to move around and zoom in, using mobile view pushes everything into a single column view.

Overall it is a impressive browser, one thing which you never could do from a alternate browser was a OTA download. When I put the OTA address into Opera it opened the standard browser for the download, I was impressed.

m:IQ – backup your phone (review)

Just put this application to the test.
First up for those who do not know about this application let me put the features of the application.
Features:

• Full contact sync between your phone & the Web
• Read, reply, and create new text messages from your computer – threaded by conversation
• Add, edit and delete calendar events from the web
• Instantly upload photos
& videos to the Web where you can view, edit, organize & share to Facebook, Flickr, & Twitter
• Update your status on Facebook & Twitter
• Visual voicemail on your computer
• Set Web favorites, ringtones & speed dials from your computer
• Transfer contacts & settings from your old phone to your new one

Now I’m not one for posting my pictures and media all over the place, I am one for making sure my data is backed up.

This Is a good application for backing up your data, I use google for contact backup as google mail is one of my main email accounts. With mIQ you have the ability to choose what you want to sync:

  • contacts
  • calendar
  • messages
  • calls
  • photos
  • videos

This is great, not only do you have complete backups of all your media, you have the option to share or keep for yourself. The interface is very nice and even allows you to watch or view your backed up data.

Now the bad things:

  1. MIQ does not recognise my phone. (bold 9700)
  2. When I tried to download one of my pictures it just asks me to “select a location to download media” but I cant find how or where to do this!
  3. Any text messages you send do not show on your phone.
  4. The first sync takes ages, the more you have the longer it takes, I used wifi connection for this and it was still taking a long time.
  5. When you delete pictures from your blackberry they stay on mIQ
  6. When you delete from mIQ they stay on the blackberry device

I did notice that while the application is running it will automatically sync any changes, I have got sync set to manual and it still uploaded the pictures.

Overall its a worthwhile application to have, your data all backed up and secure. If you are a Facebook, Twitter or Flickr then this site will help you share.
