I’m going to attempt to write about something I know absolutely nothing about.

It seems like the whole world is being overrun by mobile apps. As a businessman I need to send and receive my e-mails when I’m away from my desk. I can’t drag a laptop with me everywhere I go as I tend to park my car or take a train and it could be a bit bulky. This means I need something called a smart phone and therein lies a minefield of challenges. When I had an opportunity to choose a smart phone I decided to try a few phones before I settled for a blackberry. I couldn’t manage with the i-phone as my fingers are too big which made typing e-mails very difficult. I also decided to consult a friend of mine who had it and he told me the battery never lasts the whole day when he’s out.

When all the work is done and e-mails have been sent and I have a two hour train journey home, I need to read or play some games on my phone or update my twitter. It is therefore very frustrating that I cannot get any apps for my Blackberry. Fore some reason the people who develop apps seem to think that we all have i-phones. I can never get any apps for my phone for when I don’t want to do my e-mails on my phone. Upon closer scrutiny I also realized that my phone does not have an fm radio. That’s probably my fault for not noticing that that feature was not present before I purchased the phone.

I’ve spent three months trying to find blackberry apps for the radio stations I listen to. You’d think the BBC with our licence fee money would have developed one by now. Among my favourite stations, Absolute Radio was the first to develop a Blackberry app so I’ve been using that for a while. For the rest of the London radio stations my search came to an end last week. I came across this app that allows people to listen to their favourite radio stations on their Blackberry: It’s called a Nobex Radio Companion. I hope you enjoy it as much as I am.
