[amsat-bb] Re: Public information brochure

[Ron Overdrive]

BlackBerry really seems to have the smallest selection of apps out there. So
far I've only been able to find two apps relevant to hams: SATme (
http://www.k0sm.com/_mgxroot/page_10731.html) and BBScanner (
http://www.bbscanner.com/). BBScanner is really only an RSS feed app that
specializes in streaming audio from scanner sites while SATme is a Satellite
tracking app.

Honestly imo, Android is the way to go. The devices are faster, more
capable, and have vastly larger & more organized market place for apps.
