I’m always on the lookout for useful BlackBerry apps. One thing I use constantly on my PC is the Windows Task Manager to view running applications and processes so I could know how they are affecting performance. Ajani InfoTech Private Limited has released a free and premium Windows-like Task Manager application for BlackBerry smartphones that offers similar features.

Task Manager features:

• Application: View the list of all running apps on your device.
• Performance: View a performance graph of Battery over time.
• System Info: View important parameters about your BlackBerry like Free RAM, Free Flash Memory, Battery Temperature etc.

Task Manager Process Viewer (premium version) has the above features plus:

• Processes: View all Hidden Apps and Running Processes in Background which cannot be detected otherwise.
• Detail View: Drill down into each app to reveal its size, download date-time etc.

Both Task Manager apps will work on BlackBerry devices running OS 4.2 and higher. Task Manager is available as a free download and Task Manager Process Viewer is available for $1.99 in the store. If you like knowing what’s going on with your BlackBerry I definitely recommend at least downloading the free version, or you can download the premium version to take advantage of the additional features.
