Where did my blackberry app world go

My App World

As you might know App World launched last Wednesday.  This weekend I decided to download some new apps.  It was so successful I wrote this entire post using Vlingo.  Well, not really, but I did send four emails, wrote two memos, updated my Facebook status with random thoughts, and searched Google three times with the application.  Vlingo allows you to use your voice to direct tasks, and write emails or other text on the BlackBerry.

Where did my blackberry app world go

The weather was beautiful on Sunday, and a friend invited my family to a last minute BBQ.  On the way over we realized our favorite dessert place was closed.  I opened up my newly downloaded Poynt. set it to GPS location and asked it to “poynt” me in the direction of a “grocery” store.  Then off we went to buy a tub of Cookies n’ Cream Ice Cream and Apple Pie – our status as “great guests” in tact.

While at the BBQ I played weather-woman, informing them that according to my Weather Network application it was 12 degrees Celcius but that it was going to snow the next day.  I think they were beginning to question my status as a “great guest” at this point.

On the way back home I read through some of my 385 unread items in my RSS aggregator that I had added to my new Viigo application.  Talk about multi-tasking!  I am never going to have 385 unread items again, now that I can read blog posts in line at the grocery store, in the drive-thru, at the doctor’s office, and waiting for the kids to put their shoes/coat/clothes on.
