Wootle HD by Idle Media
Wootle is a tracker for the Woot.com family of daily deal sites. This PlayBook app will track deals from woot.com, kids.woot, shirt.woot, and sellout.woot. The app will also track wootoffs and can be set to automatically refresh the feeds! Each tab in Wootle shows the current offer on the corresponding Woot page, and clicking the "I Want One!' button takes you to the webpage so you can order. Wootle is available for $.99, and a free trial is available. I like the simple graphics and easy to use layout in this app, it looks really nice!

Smoothie by Tafasa
Smoothie came out, then quickly disappeared without notice from App World. It's since returned, with even more features and several bug fixes. If you hadn't heard of it, Smoothie is a fun way to meet new people with similar interests, and chat with them either one-on-one or in groups. Built on the BBM Social Platform, you will need to have BBM6 installed if you wish to use Smoothie. The app is free and compatible with BlackBerry smartphones on OS 5 and greater.
