ScreamingToaster let me know that they have released v1.0 of their Wicked WordPress App for BlackBerry.

Compared to the official WordPress app, Wicked is ahead with its features and stability. Of course, the official WordPress app is still in beta testing so we could see a lot of improvement on their end as well. The good thing about there being two WordPress apps is that they’ll both be working to be better than the other, improving the experience for the end-users (everyone else) along the way.

The main drawback about Wicked is that it costs an annual fee of $30, but this includes support, upgrades and a free 14-day trial. ScreamingToaster is also working on supporting other blog servers, like Tumblr, Blogger.

Features:

• Separate profiles for each added WordPress blog
• Add pictures of any format into your posts
• Arrange and re size pictures individually
• Profile and blog data automatically update with the Cloud
• Automatic Wicked updates
• Tell a friend
• Send a PIN or email message right from the app

The Wicked WordPress app is available for BlackBerry devices running OS 4.6 and higher. Head on over to the product page for more info and downloads.

If you use WordPress don’t forget to leave some feedback comments about both the official WordPress app and the Wicked WordPress app.

I know there’s been a free version of GPSed around for a while, but this one came in to me as being “new”. I think it might be because of the Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and Blogger integration.

From the description:

Record tracks of your trips anywhere on the Earth from your BlackBerry.

Share GPS tracks and geotagged photos with friends via e-mail, IM or by posting them to social networks like Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and Blogger.

Let your friends see your instant position on a map!

Features:

• Map GPS tracks from your mobile and keep them in a personal archive
• Pin your photos to a map with one-click geotagging feature
• Share your position coordinates and tracks with friends and family
• The uploaded tracks are stored on the server and available for review and management from GPSed web service

Minimum Requirements:

• For for 4.2, 4.5 and 4.6 OS
  • Internal or external GPS receiver
• For for Storm
  • Internal or external GPS receiver

Price: FREE!

Unlike the free/trial VR+ application, I believe this one stays free with no limitations.

• Download/Info: GPSed: Map your impressions
• More apps by: SHAPE Services
• How To: Install applications and themes via OTA with or without using data

Although this application is free, there are some limitations once the trial expires. Why this is free AND a trial is beyond me, but it’s still a cool application to have if you don’t mind the tagging. At least SHAPE Services is attempting to be nice with this one in terms of price since most of their applications are a bit on the expensive side.

From the description:

Turn your BlackBerry into a dictaphone! Besides a convenient Voice Recorder you get a Voice Messenger and a Voice Sharing tool for Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Blogger in one app. Send voice emails in MP3 and share your voice to social networks for playing back on any Mac, PC or mobile.

You can make your own podcasts, listen to them and let others hear your reviews, advice or impressions. A voice memo can be transcribed into text and e-mailed to you within minutes.

Lite mode will let you keep using VR+ for free after the trial period is expired, but with few functional limitations.
