Amazon Kindle for Android

Monday, August 16th, 2010

There is much talk about e-books and now there are so many e-book store fronts. Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Borders and even Apple have all jumped into the digital media and books distribution business. Personally, I love E-Books. I love the idea of being able to download a book in a matter of minutes. I’m one of those early-adopters that wants things right away. I can’t wait for UPS to deliver it.

That being said, my e-book storefront of choice is Amazon. Why? Glad you asked. Amazon has a really nice platform that allows their customers to read their Amazon-purchased books on many devices. I often will buy an E-Book on my desktop and need to take it with me. That’s where my HTC Hero comes in. Using the Amazon Kindle for Android app, I am able to read all my purchased books right on my phone!

Sounds great right? BlackBerry Tour users can download the the Kindle app for free as well. For more information go to: http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&docId=1000468551

Happy Reading!

BlackBerry Themes

Monday, June 28th, 2010

With the  summer season just rolling in, I figured I would download something fitting to my BlackBerry Tour and match the nice weather. Beat the heat with a cool breeze feel of the Azure Today theme available for free in the BlackBerry App World.

There over a thousand themes available in the BlackBerry App World, many of which are free. A theme will change the layout of the icons on your handset, and give your phone an entirely brand new feel. The themes range from Holiday themes, Sports themes, Movies & TV and more!

All you need to do is:

1. Install BlackBerry App World.
2. Enter the Categories section of BlackBerry App World.
3. Select Themes.
4. Browse the different sections and download a theme that peaks your interest.
5. After the download is complete, go to Options > Theme > and select your new theme.

Just be aware that sometimes your icons may move around depending on the theme, so you will need to get used to the new layout. You can also switch back to your default theme at any time as well.
