TinyController: Control Your BlackBerry from Your PC or Mac via USB, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth

Over the years there have been quite a few apps that let you control your BlackBerry from your PC. The latest to come to my attention (thanks Jaybo!) is TinyController by CompactByte. TinyController simply gives you no frills control of your BlackBerry smartphone from your PC or Mac through a USB, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth connection between the devices. The app is also focused on speed instead of features which is a different spin.

The best part is that TinyController offers up a 14 day free trial for you to give it a spin. This is because not all apps can work over such an app like BBM Groups so you should definitely try it out before you make the plunge. You can read more about it at www.tinycontroller.com or pick it up in App World for $9.99.

BlackBerry Desktop Software for Mac v2.2 in Beta Zone for NA Users

I am not sure why RIM is limiting this to NA Mac users but if you happen to be one head on over to the Beta Zone for the update. This brings us to v2.2 from the previous v2.1.2. I did not originally have the program available to me until I changed my profile in the Beta Zone to say I have a Mac. No words on what this update brings but RIM wants users to focus on the core functionality for testing.

You can pick up the update if you are eligible at www.blackberry.com/beta

Shape Services RDM+ Remote Desktop PlayBook App for PC & Mac

While Shape Services is still waiting for IM+ to be approved for the PlayBook they managed to get one of their other headline applications approved. RDM+ is now available for the PlayBook in App World and allows you to remote desktop into your PC or Mac using the software. I have been using RDM+ on my BlackBerry for a few years now so its nice to see it coming to the PlayBook. The price is also right at $9.99 for RDM+ in App World and it lets you connect to multiple remote computers from the app. Free RDM+ Desktop application should be installed on each computer you want to have access to.

You need to install the free RDM+ Desktop app from www.rdmplus.com to make it work and purchase RDM+ for $9.99 in App World.

BlackBerry App World Website Update Include Mac Support

All the Mac users with BlackBerrys out there can now rejoice knowing that the BlackBerry App World website now supports Macs. Their @BlackBerryDev account announced that there will be no more of those annoying unsupported OS dead end messages! I really hope RIM got rid of that message totally no matter what the OS.

The other nice perk of the update is that Macs can now sideload apps just like you could do until now on PCs. Now I hope RIM will add some filtering to App Worlds website at least for seeing only PlayBook apps… Kudos to the RIM App World team for making this happen. Keep the new features rolling in!

Notifier Sends BlackBerry Notifications to Your PC or Mac over Wi-Fi

Notifier is an interesting new app to hit App World. The concept of the app is that it sends notifications from your BlackBerry to your PC or Mac from your BlackBerry over Wi-Fi. While there have been apps that do this in the past I am kind of digging the notifications on this one and the use of Wi-Fi. Right now it seems to only do notifications for phone calls, SMS, and battery alerts but hopefully more will come soon with email and the ability to view the email.

There is a desktop and BlackBerry app that work together to make the magic work and for $0.99 it is a pretty cool app. Check out Notifier in App World at this link.
