Berry 411 Lite now available

If your version of the Blackberry OS has issues running the full version of Berry 411, you might want to try Berry 411 Lite. This omits some address book integration but is otherwise fully featured.

Mobile.answers.com introduced, integrated in Berry 411

Answers.com has introduced a mobile version of their reference search service, and I’ve plugged it into the Berry 411.

mobile.answers.com provides mobile friendly reference information. So if you’re out and about and want to read a company profile for Oracle, or find out how many times the Patriots have won the Super Bowl, you’re all set.

Answers.com is added as a link at the top of Google search results. In addition, you can type “answers foo” to go directly to the answers.com page, which, incidentally, is:

foo
A popular name for a temporary file, function or variable, or an example of same in documentation. Often used with “bar” to create “foobar,” which is a variation of FUBAR. FUBAR came out of World War II and means “F***ed Up Beyond All Repair.”

I am pleased to see increasing numbers of services introduces good mobile versions of their services.
