As great an email device as the BlackBerry is, one of the things that you can’t do is flag your emails for follow up. Well, once again, BlackBerry developer extraordinaire, Fabian Heuwieser, creator of about a dozen or so extremely popular premium and free BlackBerry applicatoins, has released LaterFlag.
LaterFlag is a free BlackBerry app that does what your BlackBerry should do (and will do in OS 5) out of the box. As the name implies, LaterFlag simply allows you flag your emails and set their priority as high or low.
You can download LaterFlag OTA directly to your device here. You can see other applications from Fabian Heuwieser here.

As many of you may already know, AOL Radio, powered by CBS Radio, is one of the more popular internet radio services available and they have recently released AOL Radio for BlackBerry to join the likes of Slacker, Pandora, iHeartRadio and others with their own BlackBerry internet radio client.
Blackberry Bold owners can now take everything they love about AOL Radio with them on the go, including all 250+ AOL Radio stations and 150+ CBS Radio local and HD stations. Additional features include the ability to bookmark your favorite stations, find out what you’ve recently listened to, automatically find which local CBS Radio stations are in your area (via GPS) and even song skipping.
AOL Radio for BlackBerry is currently only available on the BlackBerry Bold although I would assume versions for other BlackBerry devices are in the works. AOL Radio for BlackBerry is a free download and you get it it from BlackBerry App World via the the following link.

Google Voice for BlackBerry version 0.1.5 is available for download… again. I don’t think that we even mentioned it the first time that it was released because by the time we found out about it, it had already been recalled.
As usual, Google supplied no release or change notes, so, other then telling you that I had to reboot after installing Google Voice 0.1.5, I am not quite sure what the improvements are. Google definitely didn’t pretty up Google Voice for BlackBerry so I still think that there is a real opportunity for a third party developer to release a Google Voice client that could become insanely popular.
As plain a BlackBerry application as Google Voice 0.1.5 is, I highly recommend that every BlackBerry user with a Google Voice account download and install it. If you don’t have a Google Voice account, sign up for one.
