After finishing an article on off beat iPhone apps, I thought it only fair to give a shout out to those featured at Blackberry- where its clear users like to stick to business for the most part. While not as creative in the wacky sense, here are a few that qualified.
Bat Light You say you always wanted to be Batman? Here’s your starter kit. A bat symbol silhouette lights up the center of the screen and allows you to toggle through several different colors. The bat size can fill 1/2 screen width, 3/4 screen width, or full screen width. Time to find that cape and go fight some criminals…
Doomsday Connection According to the Mayan Calendar, the last day of civilization will be on December 21, 2012. This is known as the Doomsday Prophecy. Are you prepared? Launch the countdown, as the end is updated by the second and counts seconds, minutes, hours and days! Do we really want to know??
Whippoh Feeling a little domineering? Hold the phone… and then use a whip-like hand motion. With a little practice you’ll be able to get it down. Weak wrists?…Press one of the side buttons to play the whipping sound. Go give it a go… ask someone to do something for you and then… crack the whip!
teslaPad Whenever the screen is touched, animations of electricity jolt across the screen. There’s also acorresponding electrocution sound (the best part) that plays with the animation. Freak your friends out when they try to ’snoop’ through your phone! The electric bolts change color, and disappear when the screen isn’t being touched.
Make a mess Ah, the simple joys of finger painting. Get ready to relive them! Create your own finger painting, and then upload- send it off to your kindergarten teacher! Way less mess than the real thing.
Gangster Name Generator What is your Gangster name? Here’s where you find out- also able to get own personal gangster quote. Kinda lame but if you like Mafia Wars, you’ll be Rico in no time!
Oracle I love it; it reminds me of The Magic 8 Ball I used to play with as a kid! Simply ask your question… and voila the answer appears! However, from a lot of accounts, it appears to randomly turn off your phone… hmmm maybe trying to tell you something?? She is after all… the Oracle.
Cop Lights Fun app that might offer a few laughs. With realistic police siren and lights a blazing, arrive at the party where your friends are partaking in less than “desirable” activities! Watch ‘em scatter…
PhonyRazor Okay…so you’re really bored… and I mean really. You want to shave something, but not for real? Hmmmm… Okay here you go… It’s got the sound, it’s got the vibration- but NOT recommended for actual removal of body hair!
Death clock Are you interested in how long you will live… or do you want to know what you have to change in order to live longer? If yes, the Death Clock application will certainly help you. Comes in two modes: optimistic mode or sadistic mode. Nice.
soofAPP Feeling sneaky?? Here’s the whole package – Caller ID Spoofing, Voice Changing, and Call Recording. With this app, you can decide what number you want displayed when you make a call, or which voice you want to use. Record the call when they freak… then precede straight to psychiatrists couch- you need help.
Send Me Smile Let’s finish up on a ’sunshiny’ note, shall we? Smile, lets you draw a note or picture and sends it to your happy recipient. It s never been easier to annoy your friends.
Disclaimer: These apps have no real use for the stereotypical Blackberry user – they won’t increase productivity or log any useful information.
