SpotJots: Free Location-Based Social BlackBerry App

Our friends over at ten23.com have just released a new location-based social networking applications for the BlackBerry called SpotJots that you absolutely cannot beat the price on.

BlackBerry users can use our SpotJots mobile application to capture notes, photos, video & voice notes and upload them their SpotJots account in real-time. It’s a great tool for life recording, especially since it also stamps each jot with the location where the it was created (users with GPS-equipped BlackBerries will find this especially handy). At your discretion, every time you jot your friends will be notified, and they can see what you’re doing and where you’re doing it. Don’t want to use it for life recording? Not a problem… it can also be used as a personal media manager for backing up data from the device, or as a personal notes recording service. Whatever the application, SpotJots Mobile provides an easy to use interface for managing and sharing your geotagged media.

I haven’t had the chance to download SpotJots and put it through the paces yet so I figured that I would just post a link for SpotJots here and let you check it out for yourself. You can download it OTA directly to your BlackBerry.

If you decide to give SpotJots a go, come back and leave a comment letting us know what you think.

Research In Motion Down Big Time In After Hours

It was a great Q1 it was for BlackBerry maker Research in Motion, however, lowered estimates for Q2 have caused RIM’s stock (RIMM) to take a plunge in after hours trading.

Research in Motion closed yesterday at $142.336 but is down $13.456, or, -9.45% down to $128.88. RIM said that it’s margins will be a bit lower at the end of Q2, 50.5% down from 50.7%

I am sure that many are going say that this dip and any woes RIM sees in Q2 are due to the release of the iPhone. Apple is going to claim some ground in the consumer market with the new iPhone and RIM is going to have to figure out how to compete with a $200 device, however, if RIM were to lose share to RIM in Q2, I am sure they will more than make up for in Q3 which starts in September.

Remember a little over a month ago John Mayer was able to get his hands on a BlackBerry Bold?
 

 
Well, it would appear that he has switched back to a BlackBerry Curve.
 

 
I wonder what made him change?
