BlackBerry Business Apps

PocketMac Business App for BlackBerry Review

These days, business can take many different forms. If you are a businessperson that is interested in multimedia and facilitating connections between people in that way, it could very well be the case that your business is reliant on Macintosh software. If this is the case, you might be slightly discouraged by the fact that the BlackBerry really doesn’t have a lot going in that area. At least, that used to be the case until the creation of PocketMac Business.

Turn your BlackBerry into a PocketMac

We all know that Pocket PCs exist, but did you know that you can make your BlackBerry into a PocketMac?  This is certainly something that you can do with multiple apps but it is really the PocketMac Business app that can give you the edge that you need while at the same time keeping all of the things that you love about your BlackBerry in place.

Combine business and raw multimedia power

The advantage that the Mac setup has over the PC setup is the fact that the former is so strong when it comes to multimedia applications and computing. However, in the business environment, those advantages seem to dry up because of the relative lack of professionalism that many Mac applications have. This is not the case with PocketMac business app for BlackBerry. You get that same great raw power in the multimedia area while at the same time getting the opportunity to keep things professional with your BlackBerry device.

Keep your current setup

Although PocketMac mobile application will allow you to put your BlackBerry in sync with your Mac and turn it into a PocketMac device, it is also true that you can maintain all of the current setups that you have with your BlackBerry device. This can come in very handy during times when you have a Mac at home and a PC at work or vice versa. Versatility is important in today’s world and PocketMac Business is a BlackBerry app that definitely has the power to show versatility.

Final Score

PocketMac App for BlackBerry receives a final score of 8 out of 10 from us. The fact that it does not have the greatest free support out there is really what prevented it from scoring higher. You can check this app out in its full glory for 90 days, but at that point you’ll have to decide between full and lite versions of it. It can score higher later on by adopting a freeware version that has less features but will still get the job done.

The iSkoot for Skype App for BlackBerry

Communication is an essential element for business. It is more important than personal communication because businesses that work together soar together. In the past, the geographical extent of most businesses was smaller and communication for business was easier. As the economy has become more globalized in the world today, communication for business has become harder. Skype is certainly a great choice for business communication for budding and intermediate enterprises and the iSkoot for Skype app is one that will give you a great jump in that area.

Manage your Skype account from your BlackBerry

The first thing that you can do with iSkoot for Skype is manage your contacts from your BlackBerry device. This means that not only can you gain access to the full list of contacts, you can also update your own status on Skype and even add and remove different contacts from your list depending on how the situation goes. This will allow you to quickly respond to business concerns and it could very well be the app that makes Skype a viable option for your business needs.

Access important Skype features

Managing your account directly from the BlackBerry is important, but it is nowhere near as important as gaining access to important Skype features. Without them, this is essentially crippled software that is not worth your time. Fortunately, you can get push-button Skype calling, access to all of the Skype Out features and of course chatting live over Skype is also available on this BlackBerry app. Being able to do all of these things while mobile might very well be what you need to make Skype into the main communication solution for your current business situation.

Final Score

The iSkoot for Skype application is a fantastic BlackBerry app and it has received a final score of 9 out of 10 from us. It is one of the best software packages out there in terms of excellent specialization. Skype is great for communication, but few in the business community would consider it a long term solution. Now that you can use the Skype calling from your BlackBerry while chatting and increasing your network, the dynamics of those decisions have completely changed. Communication in business is changing and with apps like this one readily available for your BlackBerry, it could very well be true that the businesses that adopt solutions like this one are the ones that will succeed in the long term.
