One of the first and most popular BlackBerry Twitter clients that seems like it has been around forever is TwitterBerry. With the release of the latest version, Orangatame Software, the company behind TwitterBerry, has changed the name of the application. Forevermore, TwitterBerry will known as OpenBeak.
Personally, I like the name TwitterBerry since it pretty much tells you exactly what the applications is and does. My guess, however, is that the name change comes because of trademarked name infringments. Research in Motion doesn’t allow any applications with the word “Berry” in their name on BlackBerry Appworld.
OpenBeak features include:
OpenBeak is a free BlackBerry application and you can pick it up OTA by pointing your devices BlackBerry browser to http://m.openbeak.com…

Looks like Research in Motion has changed the name of the latest version of Plazmic Content Developers Kit to BlackBerry Theme Studio 5.0 and is now available for download. The new name is much more fitting than the last. Unless you were a BlackBerry theme developer chances were you had no idea what Pazmic CDK was. BlackBerry Theme Studio, on the other hand, is not ambiguous at all.
BlackBerry Theme Studio 5.0 is a now available and you can get it free on BlackBerry Developer Zone.

Google has updated Google Voice to version 0.1.6. As usual, they’ve provided not change log so we have no clue as to what the new version does. I just read on the Google Voice Blog that GV now works with your existing number, so, maybe the update has something to do with that. Can’t say for sure…
What I can say is that Google Voice is a heck of a service and you should check it out which you can do at http://m.google.com/voice.

Well, what do you know… Research in Motion has gone an released Facebook for BlackBerry 1.7, and, I have to say that it has some pretty nice new features:
Now, if RIM would just add the ability for you to see a contacts friends and mutual friends as well as adding Facebook Chat functionality, possibly integrating it with BlackBerry Messenger or something, Facebook for BlackBerry would be one heck of an application.
You can download Facebook for BlackBerry 1.7 by visting www.blackberry.com/facebook from your BlackBerry Browser or get it on BlackBerry App World.

If you have a BlackBerry running OS 4.5 or higher, BlackBerry Messenger 5 is definitely worth picking up. I fully expect it to jump to the number one spot on App World’s most downloaded apps within a few days at most.
