GreenFinder can be downloaded for Blackberry's with GPS and costs 35.00/yr. You can trial it for free as well. The app can be dowloaded at GreenFinderGPS.com


FreeCaddie is the solution if you have Windows Mobile phone with GPS. This app has a free version or a Pro version for 24.99 and both can be dowloaded from FreeCaddie.com

Pandora Streaming Music

Pandora is my favorite solution for STREAMING MUSIC. Its free and plays only your favorite music right on your phone! (& computer) This is a perfect solution for those of you that love the idea of music on your phone but don't like managing and updating content!

Pandora offers a free app for a handful of mobile phones (currently Motorola / Samsung / LG / Sony Ericsson) with more compatibility on the way.

You can visit Pandora.com/att straight from your phone or from your PC and enter your mobile number to get a download link. This site lists compatible phone models as well.

The first time you use it you will need to create a free account with Pandora and name a few songs you like to listen to. Pandora then tries to match songs with the ones you identified. You can make separate stations for working out, relax, etc.

ATT recommends you have Media MAX to use this service.

Sky Fire Mobile Browser

UPDATE: Skyfire has released OPEN BETA version .8 with new features like content ability, faster launch, search from your home screen, a setting to become default browser and more! The best part is it's still FREE!!

Sky Fire is a mobile browser that introduces, for the first time, imbedded flash (not to mention incredible speed!). This means the ability to watch Youtube videos, TV shows from Hulu.com, Flicker slideshows, and more. They all stream off the web right on your phone with Audio. The app is still in Beta mode so it does have a few minor bugs.

In order to get it, you need to visit Skyfire and sign up. The browser works on Windows Mobile and Symbian devices right now.

Google Maps

Google Maps is the coolest application out there for navigation and searches. This is one app you will use almost daily. Many of you know about the iPhone's map application, but many don't know that you don't have to own an iPhone to get it. This app is a free download and works on most phones. You can even just text "maps" to 33669 to get a free download link. Google also just released "street view" functionality as well. Watch the video to see what I mean.
