Didiom is now available as a free download for a bunch of BlackBerry devices through the BlackBerry App World.

From the App World description:

With Didiom, you can use your BlackBerry® to access music, podcasts and audiobooks stored on your computer, through wireless streaming. Just download Didiom Desktop and Didiom Mobile, choose the folders where you store your audio files and playlists on Didiom Desktop, and make sure your PC and phone are connected to the Internet. You’ll be surprised how quickly your library shows up on your phone. Then, when you add new audio files to your computer, Didiom Desktop automatically scans them and makes them available for wireless streaming on your phone.

With over 2 million tracks, the Didiom MP3 Store lets you shop for music and audiobooks whenever you want, directly from your phone. You can name your own price and download to your BlackBerry, PC or both. The mobile download will be available to your BlackBerry, and the PC download will be available online. There are never any membership or service fees. You only pay for the music and audiobooks you download through our secure, credit card service.

Didiom is compatible with the BlackBerry Pearl series, Curve series (including 8900), 8800 series, Bold and the Tour. New users will receive 25 free, pre-selected songs from up-and-coming artists.

You can find it in the BlackBerry App World by searching for “Didiom”. Check out the press release for more info after the jump.

Yesterday I mentioned that Viigo Alpha was updated to version 3.1.324. Well, this version was actually re-released as the new official version for BlackBerry!

Features:

• New services
• New weather (delete your weather channels and add)
• Streaming Audio
• Stay on top of your balances
• Integrated Twitter Client
• The hottest deals from your favorite retailers

If you downloaded Viigo Alpha yesterday you should re-download this version. It will be the same version number (3.1.324) but you will notice that “Alpha” has been removed from the top.

You can download it now from GetViigo.com from either your BlackBerry Browser, or from your desktop to have a download link sent to your BlackBerry. Visit Viigo.com for more info.

Viigo is going to announce a new version at WES 2009 with some new and very cool features.

Among the new features are:

• Enterprise features (employee directories, calendars, products…)
• Post to Facebook
• Streaming audio
• Full Twitter integration
• More to be announced as a “surprise”

Streaming audio is a feature that many have been waiting for for quite some time. Even without these upcoming features, Viigo continues to be one of my top BlackBerry applications and a “must have” that I suggest to all BlackBerry users.

If you don’t have Viigo on your BlackBerry yet, head on over to getviigo.com from either your PC or your BlackBerry Browser.

I (and Viigo I’m sure) would love to hear some feedback on what everyone thinks about this application, so be sure to leave some comments!
