Tethering your BlackBerry to your laptop to use it as a wireless modem is nothing new. Some carriers offer this ability as an additional service for a monthly fee and there are also premium applications such as TetherBerry that provide this ability as well.
The problem in the past has been tethering your BlackBerry to a Mac or Linux based laptop has been very difficult if not impossible. This, however, is no longer the case with Berry4All.
Berry4All has been tested an confirmed to work on OS X and multiple flavors and version of Linux. The best thing about Berry4All, formerly known as BerryTether, is that it is completely free. Thats right, Berry4All is open source and freely distributed.
If you own BlackBerry and want to get your Mac OS X or Linux based laptop on the internet through your device’s data connection, give Berry4All a try. You absolutely cannot beat the price…

For all of you Fantasy Football addicts out their, Yahoo has released Y! Fantasy Football ‘09 on BlackBerry App World.
Features of the Y! Fantasy Football ’09 app include:
Live Scoring: Free this year! Follow your team as the games happen – in real time.
Roster Management: Quarterback injured? No problem. Bench him and start your backup right from your phone.
Add and drop players: No longer happy with your running back? Simple. Drop him from your team and search for a new one.
Matchups: Not sure who you play next week? No need to stop what you’re doing, just grab your BlackBerry and check.
My one complaint is that Yahoo Fantasy Football for BlackBerry is only supported on Bold, Curve 8900, and Tour. They need to come out with a version for every BlackBerry with a trackball, trackpad, or touchscreen. If, however, you have one of these devices and play Fantasy Football on Yahoo Sports, it is pretty much a no brainer that you should dowload Y! Fantasy Football ‘09 immediately.
Today’s BlackBerry Deal of the Day is Mobiscope, a nifty little BlackBerry utility from Shape Services, makers of IM+ All-in-One Mobile Messenger, that allows you to watch webcam video directly from your BlackBerry.
Whether it be a security cam, nanny cam, video cam at your child’s day care or school, or a webcam connected to your PC, Mobiscope will allow you to watch real-time, streaming video from any webcam with IP cam support.
Mobiscope normally costs $29.95, but for today only, you can get Mobiscope for the 50% off DoD price of $14.97.
