* 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)

* UPDATE Apparently this application is not free even though it is listed as free in the store. Ray let me know that once he downloaded it he was prompted to email them and then send $4.95 via PayPal to a personal account. This is a bit weird so I’m going to look into it and find out what’s up. *

Sometimes you’ll want to send a picture to someone without a BlackBerry, but they won’t be able to see it because the picture is too big. A free application was just release by Joe Ge called Resize Picture that allows you to modify the pictures you take with your BlackBerry.

Resize Picture allows you downsize a picture in order to send it out as MMS or reduce its byte size. You can choose a dimension by percent or width and height. Resize Picture also allows you to rotate a picture by 90, 180 and 270 degrees.

You can grab a copy free in the store or find it in the Mobile App Store right on your BlackBerry. Let me know how it works for you!
