ShaoSoft has released Wallpaper Changer for BlackBerry, an application that lets you rotate images from your device’s internal memory or media card.
Features:
Supports JPG, TIF, PNG, & BMP format picture files.
Low battery usage, won’t drain your battery.
Customizable rotation times.
Option to rotate in order or randomly.
Smart media detection, when mass storage mode is enabled and Blackberry is plugged into computer via USB wallpaper changing is stopped and then safely resumes once unplugged.
Lightweight, simple and efficient, not bloated with extra un-needed functions.
Automatic start up after battery pull or device reset.
This application is available for any BlackBerry on OS 4.7 and higher. This means that it will work on any device running OS 5.0 when it becomes available, but for now it will only work on the Storm (unless you have the beta 5.0 installed).
* Twitter Giveaway ShaoSoft was nice enough to provide me with a coupon code that will allow 15 people to get Wallpaper Changer for free!
I wanted to try and do a different kind of giveaway so I figured I’d try doing one over Twitter. In a few hours I will be tweeting the coupon code with a link to Wallpaper Changer and the first 15 people to use it will get a free copy.
Check out @BlackBerryRocks on Twitter and be ready for that coupon code!
If you happen to miss this giveaway, you can always get 20% off Wallpaper Changer from the BBRocks! Mobile App Store by using the coupon code APPSTORE until July 4th. If you miss that too, don’t worry. This is only the first of hopefully many Twitter giveaways!

Not even a few minutes after I posted about the iLane device did I come across the WeatherEye application for BlackBerry and a contest they are having where you can win an iLane!
Just a reminder, iLane goes for $599 with a $7.99 monthly fee. Pretty pricey, so here is your chance to win one!
From the WeatherEye description:
WeatherEye BlackBerry® provides you the following information and allows you to select from any city The Weather Network provides content for
Current conditions
Short-term forecasts
Long-term forecasts
Warning updates
WeatherEye was recently made compatible with the BlackBerry Storm, so Storm owners can participate in the contest also!
CellUnlock.net contacted me to offer BlackBerry Rocks! readers 1 free BlackBerry unlock code for one day only!
This offer is available for BlackBerry owners on the following networks:
AT&T/Cingular USA
T-Mobile USA
Rogers Canada
So, for example, if you have a BlackBerry Bold 9000 on AT&T but want to use it on T-Mobile…now you can! Of course you would have to sign up for T-Mobile’s service but you get the point.
