FierceMobileIT has put together a list of the Top 10 BlackBerry Apps for the Mobile Worker. It is a good mashup of both free and premium apps and we thought we should share.

Don’t forget ProOnGo Expense with Receipt Reader — we take the typing out of expense tracking. Link your mileage, time, and receipt based expenses right into QuickBooks Online, or use our Excel, fax-from-phone, csv, or XML reports.
I’d like to submit that this list is missing what we’ve seen over the last 9 years as the major app for small business and the “mobile professional” – Pocket Informant, the #1 third-party PIM (yes, we can prove it, its not just hype – sales and awards can be shown) on BlackBerry.
