BlackBerry OS 4.5.0.37 Got Leaked on the WWW

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

If you have a Blackberry 8100, 8300, 8700 or 8800, a new BlackBerry OS 4.5.0.37 software update is now available unofficially. The download link on berryreview has been taken down, but they are sure you can find one easily from a search.

There are some risks in trying unofficial updates though, one 8100 user says, “would not recommend downloading for the 8100 at this time. the ui is horrendously slow right now, especially after a cold boot, and third-party applications /will/ crash the phone. i’m downgrading back to t-mo usa’s current version.”

JuiceCaster adds location-based geotagging

Thursday, May 29th, 2008
JuiceCaster today unveiled location-based geotagging, developed initially for Qualcomm’s BREW solution. With geotagging, JuiceCaster users can send pictures and videos that automatically include their location to various social-networking platforms, including MySpace, Facebook and Twitter.

Users update their status with pictures and videos captured on their mobile phone using the wireless application. Through its new location-based geotagging feature, JuiceCaster now allows individuals to see a video’s location information, which can be used as a friend-finding service. It also immediately notifies users when someone updates their status in a nearby area.

Since all uploaded pictures and videos are geotagged, users can also look for content based on specific location criteria, making searching for videos on JuiceCaster powerful and accurate. In addition, JuiceCaster’s ‘Who was here?’ feature enables individuals to see a list of pictures and videos previously uploaded by friends and other people for a specific location, as well as add their own pictures and videos to its history. Location is only viewable by authorized friends and the feature can be turned off.
