Tether App for BlackBerry is a small app that makes it very simple to tether your BlackBerry to your PC so you can take advantage of your existing data plan. Well, today you can have all this goodness for 50% off! Good stuff.
Here’s what MobileCrunch had to say about it:
Tethering a mobile phone to a laptop was once was a laborious adventure into the depths of forums and hack sites. Eventually though, the task become a bit easier with just a few settings on both the phone and the notebook, but TetherBerry makes it even easier. Like stupid easy.
TetherBerry has been in beta for a while now and set to go retail at 1pm PT today so you may wanna jump on the beta quick to give her a test drive. You will be impressed.
The tethering task is completed with a small app being installed on both the BlackBerry and the PC. Once both of these small programs are fired up, you’re done. There isn’t any settings that needs adjusting on either the PC or mobile. It just works, and it’s not terribly slow.

Flickr has released a new application to upload photos directly from your BlackBerry to your Flickr account. If you have a BlackBerry with a camera, you can take photos and upload them directly to Flickr. If you don’t have a camera on your BlackBerry, you still can upload any photo saved on your device.
BlackBerry Wallet, a free, over-the-air app, keeps credit card numbers and other personal information accessible and secure. This little app is fairly powerful and features good integration with other BlackBerry applications. It even keeps your affinity card and frequent shopper card numbers handy, so it could actually lighten your ‘real’ wallet.
At first, this didn’t seem like the most natural fit (BlackBerry users tend to be businesspeople, not Facebook’s primary audience), but the application is pretty awesome for all BlackBerry-wielding Facebook users out there.
I think people are now starting to not only take notice of mobile web browsers, but actually demand more from them. This may be partly due to the iPhone and its commercials talking about “not just the mobile internet, but the actual internet.”
I love GMail. It is powerful, easy to use, and just works. This is pretty much the same thing with the free GMail application for BlackBerry. Once installed, you just log in with your Google Account or GMail address. It will sync everything with your GMail account.
I started using the Google Notebook plugin for Firefox when it was launched some time ago. It is really useful for grabbing little notes from sites as you wander the internet (or World Wide Web, for those of you still on CompuServe.) I found the limitation to Google Notebook was that you had to be at your computer to use it. This has been solved with the mobile version.
