Dave Mabe discusses his new book “Blackberry Hacks”:http://dave.runningland.com/2005/10/05/my-new-book-blackberry-hacks/, which is now “available for order on Amazon”:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0596101155/002-4495498-5315207?v=glance&n=283155&n=507846&s=books&v=glance .

The book has a nice blend of “hacks? for a whole range of BlackBerry aficionados from the newest of users to the seasoned veteran. Here is a chapter list:

BlackBerry Hacks Chapters

1. Using your BlackBerry
2. Email
3. Games
4. The Internet and Other Networks
5. Free Programs
6. Shareware Apps
7. BES Administration
8. The Web and MDS
9. Application Development

O’Reilly should have the complete hack list on the “book’s web site”:http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/blackberryhks/ pretty soon. They’ll also include some free sample hacks from the book.

I contributed two articles to the shareware apps and application development sections; I’m really looking forward to reading the rest of the book.
