HOT! Yesterberry Links – Hundreds of Free TV and Radio Streams

All I can say is WOW! I am not sure how Yesterberry pulled this off but Yeseterberry has put together links for hundreds of free TV and radio streams. I am not talking about no name TV streams. Their mobile website has links to Fox News, Cartoon Network, ABC, MSNBC, CNN, VH1, BBC ONE and TWO, Discovery Channel, and my favorite Mystery Science Theater.

I did not even know there were web streams available for all of these channels but Yesterberry has collected quite a few of them. I was blown away with the selection but it could be I just never looked that hard for streaming video channels. All of the links are user submitted so the catalog has really grown. There are also quite a few streaming radio stations in their catalog for you to choose from.

In other words if you have a unlimited data plan and are into streaming TV and Radio check out www.yesterberry.com from your BlackBerry and hit the TV or Radio menu links. You can read more about the site at this thread on CrackBerry forums. The site is totally free but Yesterberry does accept donations for which they give you a login and extra abilities but free accounts still have access to all the content.

Twitter for BlackBerry Losing “Beta” Label, Full Version Launches Tonight [from a Alliance member http://www.berryreporter.com]

Update: Now live! If the application doesn’t automatically prompt you to update, head to Options and select Check for Update at the bottom.

Beginning tonight, BlackBerry users will start seeing an update to Twitter, officially bringing it out of beta. According to RIM, the open beta was made available in April to gather community and user feedback, much of which was taken into consideration when updating the application along the way. Unfortunately, this official non-beta version won’t provide support for multiple user accounts, but with any luck we’ll see the feature implemented in future versions.

This new version will feature “Go to User”, which provides access to any user’s profile from anywhere in the application using the auto-complete functionality we’ve seen rolled out in previous updates. Additionally, the updated version will include support for at least 7 new languages, including:
