Welcome to emacberry.com's software for all BlackBerry® devices with OS 4.2.1 or higher [like 8100, 8220, 8310, 8700, 8800, 8820, 9000, 9500, 9520, 9530, 9550, 9630 & 9700

I began writing applications for BlackBerry® devices because I wanted to learn how to program my new BlackBerry® device (via RIM's Java API). The primary benefit (compared to a JavaME Midlet) was having full access to the hardware (like the file system) without any confirmation from the user. Of course, this will restrict the usability of the application to BlackBerry® devices only, but well, I own now one so I do not care. ;-)

I realize this web page looks quite "old school”, but my intention is to create a simple place where anyone can download software. I do not want to spend time on a fancy web page when the time could be better invested developing other applications for the BlackBerry®. I hope you agree.

The applications are offered either for free [GPSLogger & GPSiesConnect] or as pay-what-you-want [FileScout] (Donationware). In general: If you find these applications useful in your day to day life and you would like me to invest more of my time developing them, please be so kind and send me a donation - TIA.

The following applications are currently available:

FileScout for BlackBerry® (formerly known as BBFileScout)
[click for details & download]

FileScout is a file manager for your BlackBerry® device. Beside the core functionality like browsing over the file system of your BlackBerry®, create directories, copy, move, rename, (un)zip or delete files, or open your media files directly, FileScout also allows you to open files (like ini, xml, etc.) as plain text so you are able to edit, mark, copy, and paste text fragments of these files that normally can't be opened with your BlackBerry®. Additionally FileScout allows you to easily save your favorites, search for files, manipulate images (resize & rotate) or send files via email or Bluetooth.

This makes FileScout the ultimate all in one file, zip, text and image manager for your BlackBerry®

Please Note: deleting files from your BlackBerry® can harm the core functionality of the device - use this function at your own risk!

GPSLogger is a pretty straightforward application – it records your physical movement on your BlackBerry® device over time, including elevation, speed, and some additional data.
Additionally, GPSLogger can direct you to a location that you either entered manually or have previously recorded (via the "Guide Me Home" function). This can be quite useful whether you want to locate your car in a big parking lot or you are in the wilderness and have lost your orientation.
As extended functionality to the "Guide Me Home" feature since v1.5 a very easy to use outdoor navigation is integrated into GPSLogger also.
As latest addon you can use GPSLogger also as LapTimer - a very powerful feature for all who need to keep track of intermediate timings.

"GPSies - Tracks for Vagabonds" is a great website where a very large community shares tracks for any purpose. GPSiesConnect allows you to directly access the GPSies.com database. Search for tracks for your sports and leisure activities. Download tracks in various formats to use them with other applications (like GPSLogger) on your BlackBerry.
Furthermore GPSiesConnect is able to upload your tracks to the GPSies.com database (requires a login at gpsies.com - which is free).

This application uses network data services and may be subject to data charges. An unlimited data plan is recommended. Note that some BlackBerry Enterprise Server administrators may prohibit the downloading of 3rd party files through applications.
