Viigo Alpha for BlackBerry has been updated to version 3.1.324.

The obvious change that I noticed is that there is now a “Deals” service where you can get the latest deals by store or by category. I’m sure there are also plenty of bug fixes in this update too.

Browse by Store so far includes 6th Avenue, Abe’s of Maine, Amazon.com, B&H Photo Video, Best Buy, Buy.com, CompUSA, Dell, Geeks, JR.com, NewEgg, OfficeDepot, Overstock, PC Connection and Walmart.

Browse by Category so far includes Cameras and Camcorders, Computer Accessories, Computer Storage, Computers, Flash Memory, GPS Navigators, Games and Consoles, Home Theatre and Televisions, MP3 Players, Printers, Security and Nanny Cameras and Webcams.

Viigo Alpha is still in its testing stages so you may find a few bugs here and there. Since this isn’t a production release install at your own risk!

You can download Viigo Alpha by going to getviigo.com/alpha from your BlackBerry Browser. Don’t forget to let Viigo know about any bugs or suggestions through the “Feedback” option in the application itself, or by leaving some comments here.

I was going to get a 16GB media card for my new BlackBerry Curve 8900 (when I get it)…but I think I’ll wait for the SDXCs to come out.

Some highlights from the press release:

• The next-generation SDXC (eXtended Capacity) memory card specification, announced today at the 2009 International CES, dramatically improves consumers’ digital lifestyles by providing the portable storage and speed needed to store weeks of high-definition video, years of photo collections and months of music to mobile phones, cameras and camcorders, and other consumer electronic devices.
• The SDXC specification, developed by the SD Association, leapfrogs memory card interface speeds while retaining the world-leading SD interface.
• A 2TB SDXC memory card can store 100 HD movies, 60 hours of HD recording or 17,000 fine-grade photos.
• SDXC is also the first memory card specification to provide 2TB storage without hindering the high-speed performance necessary for high-end photography.
