App Review: Aerize Email Alerts
When one of your contacts calls, you can be alerted to their identity through a custom ringtone, and/or with name and photo flashed on the screen of your BlackBerry.
But what if your contact sends your BlackBerry an email or text message? Your phone can alert you that a message has arrived, but can’t help you identify who the sender is until you actually open the message.
Aerize Email Alerts brings the convenience of Caller ID to email and text messages (SMS).
App Review: Qik (video sharing)
The Qik home page heading says it all: “Equip your phone with free live video sharing.” Let’s pick that phrase apart:
- Equip your phone: works with your BlackBerry (several models supported, more sure to come)
- Video sharing: lets you share videos shot with your BlackBerry
- Free: costs nothing–the app is free, the service is free
- Live: your video is not just shared on-demand, but broadcast live
