Canadian Bar Association lists BlackTrack as Top 10 BlackBerry App - May 2010

Top 10 BlackBerry apps for legal practitioners

Last issue, National brought you its list of Top 10 iPhone apps for Lawyers: Now, it’s BlackBerry’s turn.

There’s a reason why RIM’s BlackBerry is affectionately known as a “CrackBerry:” it’s addictive, and lawyers are the first to admit they’re hooked. They might wax poetic on the peace and quiet they enjoyed before the mobile device entered their lives, but most of them balk at leaving it at home for a day or — worse—turning it off. So why not make the most of everything it has to offer? BlackBerry might be playing catchup with the iPhone in terms of the quantity and scope of its applications, but there still are plenty of practical, highquality apps available from BlackBerryApp World that can make your day run a little bit smoother.

1. UberTwitter

If you’re a tweeter like us at CBA_News, you may have noticed that using Twitter on the BlackBerry browser is not a pleasant experience. Fortunately there are several apps for BlackBerry that will keep you tweeting like UberTwitter. You’ve got nothing to lose... it’s free!

2. A plus World Clock

This app comes in handy for lawyers with clients in different time zones. With up to 100 pre-set time zones at your fingertips, you won’t ever make the mistake of calling at 5 a.m. again.

3. BlackTrack

Tracking your phone and e-mail activity is a breeze with BlackTrack. The daily or weekly activity reports help you manage and bill your time spent on calls and e-mail.
