* UPDATE Matthias has updated BBFileScout to version 1.1.0.1

Since I received user feedback that there is additionally the need for a user defined resolution setting in the new “Image Resize” function, I just have integrated this feature into BBFileScout. In the new ‘Image Option’ section you have an additional entry in the ‘target resolution’ called ‘user defined’.

If you downloaded version 1.1 please redownload BBFileScout below. *

Matthias let me know that he has updated his BBFileScout BlackBerry application from version 1.0 to version 1.1.

New functions include the ability to resize images to a user selected resolution ranging from 1200px, 1024px, 800px, 640px and the device’s resolution. There is also an option to show favorites at startup and URLs in the BBFileScout “About” screen will now bring you to the site.

BBFileScout is offered “free” as Donationware, which means the version available for download is fully functional with no limitations but the developer is asking for donations to help upkeep the development of the application. BBFileScout is available for all BlackBerrys on OS 4.3 and higher.

• Download OTA: BBFileScout
• Info: BBFileScout Homepage (ZIP available for desktop installation)
  
• How To:
  • Install applications and themes via OTA with or without using data

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).

You can find Wallpaper Changer in the store for $2.99 with a free trial available.
