SportyPal, your pal for recording your workout

I've been using SportyPal for the last two days and been impressed with the features. The most important thing is the ability to record the track and progress of each workout (mine: cycling and walking). There is a feature to upload the workouts to SportyPal website and view them, even in 3D - with the help of Google Earth plugin, though I haven't tried it yet.

The above are pictures of my last two cycling recorded using SportyPal

Shortcut keys for UberTwitter 0.971

I'm a fan of UberTwitter (UT), a small yet powerful Twitter client for
BlackBerry. To elevate the usage of UT, I frequently use shortcut keys
instead of the menu. Here are UT's shortcut keys:

U for update status / compose new tweet
R for reply to a status
J for reply all
L for ReTweet
D for direct message
G for go to user
S for search
O for refresh
V for favorite a status
Z for email a tweet

Twitter for BlackBerry has a little bug

Capture13_32_30

I found this by accident when I need to lookup a Twitter's username within my friend list. It looked like Twitter for BlackBerry generated double username for most of (not all of) username.

Any clue on how I can fix this? Anyway, other than the size of the application, this update works better than the previous version. I like it so far, but I won't be in a rush to use this as primary application for Twitter. I just keep my UberTwitter in the background. Oh, I'm so curious, how in the hell Twitter for BlackBerry can be so huge in size while UberTwitter, with similar features, is half of it.

Index finger board for your BlackBerry

I've noticed for sometime that a friend of mine using his index finger, instead of his thumb, to input text into his BlackBerry. This is, AFAIK, not usual, as most of people using thumbs to type onto the thumboard. The interesting part is that it doesn't have any significant effect to his typing-speed, at the very least, he surely is faster than any touchscreen-typist.
