Google Voice Android Search
Google Voice just became much easier to use for Blackberry and Android owners as a new mobile app has been released.

BlackBerry App World now home to 2,000 applications, RIM pretty stoked
Posted by Hassan Alsheikh in Articles on July 8th, 2009
It may have some 48,000 or so to go before it catches the runaway leader in app choice, but doubling up its catalog after launching just 3.5 months ago ain’t nothing to scoff at. As RIM suffers through the traditional growing pains with its fledgling BlackBerry App World, it has managed to amass around 2,000 programs for users to love, hate or feel completely indifferent about. According to Jeff McDowell, vice president of global alliances, that number is apt to rise when it goes live in Italy, France, Germany and Spain this month. Also of note, Mr. McDowell declined to say just how many downloads had taken place, but he did note that RIM was “very happy” with the response. Unfortunately, we’re not so certain that the company is eager to raise that 2,000 figure to something much higher, with ole Jeff spouting off that “[it doesn't matter] whether it’s 40,000 or 2,000 [apps], you’ve still got a broad range of choice.” We’re willing to bet the public sees that a bit differently — right, public?
