If you are, the FindMe app on your Facebook account displays your current location.

Flipside for Blackberry Review

As an iPod owner I don't use my phone as a main device. RIM's media application is ever so slightly basic compared to Palm's offerings of Real Player or pTunes. Back on my Treo my MP3 player of choice is Busker from Electric Pocket. Why? Well I covered that in a review a while ago, but mainly because I love cover art (The main reason I own an iPod Touch is coverflow!). Now Flipside got me very excited, it's not a port of Busker; it's a brand new player from Electric Pocket.

Overall, I would suggest picking up a copy of SplashID if you have a large number of passwords that you need to keep track of. Use it for both your personal and professional purposes and never be left scratching your head again thinking “I could have sworn I set that password to “Flibbertigibbet” (yes that is a real word, look it up).
