The free streaming radio application known as Pandora has been updated to version 1.1 for BlackBerry with some nice new features and bug fixes.
New Features
Significantly better audio quality over mobile network - now using stereo AAC+ (HE-AAC) for both Wi-Fi and mobile connections
Listener preference option to select “High” quality stream over mobile network or “Normal” for slower connections. Both are stereo.
Create Station screen now has auto-complete functionality as you type
Added user preference option to enable or disable station auto-start
Moved “Log Out” from main menu into Options screen, it now shows the currently logged-in username
Visual overlay when changing volume; easier to see actual volume level
Application will check for correct application permissions on startup, and offer to set them to appropriate values if required
You can now get to the “Options” screen from the menus of both the Station List screen and the
Now Playing screen
Reduced download size of app by about 30-40%
Bug Fixes:
Fixed stream resume problem on some Storm devices after being interrupted by a system alert (phone call, SMS, email, etc)
Fixed bug where Wi-Fi capable devices without a SIM card or data plan were not able to use Pandora over Wi-Fi
Fixed reports of “low volume” settings not being low enough - the lower volume settings now go as quiet as possible before being muted
Fixed bug where album art may not have been displayed for some tracks
Mute button should now properly sleep the device when holding it down
Pandora will work on the BlackBerry Pearl 8100 series, Pearl Flip 8200 series, Curve 8300 and 8900 series, 8800 series, Bold 9000, Storm 9530 and now the Tour 9630!

QuickLaunch has been updated to version 2.10 for all currently supported BlackBerry devices!
New features in v2.10:
Option to display Time in 12 or 24 hour format
Option to change Titlebar Color
Option to display Date in titlebar
Supports Shazam app
Supports BBTran app
Activation code displayed in QL Options
QL App Switcher added - displays currently running apps in the QL Menu and allows you to switch to them like bb’s app switcher
“Now Playing…” added
I’ve had QuickLaunch since it’s early testing for the Curve 8900 and it’s definitely one of my most used applications.
Right now it’s only available for the Pearl 8100 series, Curve 8300 and 8900 series, Bold 9000 and Storm 9500 series, but NikkiSoft plans to make it available to the 8800 series and the Tour 9630!

The File name is different according to the BlackBerry model you choose, just in case. Not sure how different this is from OS 4.5.0.161, so if you notice any differences let me know in the comments!
This application makes accessing things on your BlackBerry super easy so trust me when I say it is well worth the $5 (or the upgrade fee) if you’re looking to get the most out of your BlackBerry’s convenience keys.

A few weeks ago I posted about a World of Warcraft Horde theme for the BlackBerry Pearl 8100 series. Today I found another WoW theme for the Pearl 8100 series, this time an Alliance version!
