Podlinez has an ingeniously simple system for listening to podcasts on any phone– every podcast gets its own phone number, and users can add their additional podcasts simply by entering the feed URL.  

Unfortunately, the Podlinez directory of podcasts is currently hard to navigate even from a PC and especially from a phone. 

For this reason, I’ve put together my own small directory of links to news related podcasts on Podlinez, available here: http://thebogles.com/berry/podcasts.  This directory is optimized for viewing on a mobile device; you should be able to listen to the podcast on the phone simply by clicking on the phone number links.  The mini-directory is also linked to to from the news and weather pages on Berry411.

 I am pleased to announce the release of BerrySearch 0.8beta, a free web search tool for the RIM Blackberry.

BerrySearch does for web search on the Blackberry what Berry411 did for local information, making key web reference sources fast to access and easy to use. 

Key features:  

• Google Suggest saves typing
• Single click access to Google, Wikipedia, Dictionary, Thesaurus, and more.

To install over the air, point your Blackberry at http://thebogles.com/berrysearch.jad.  And please do send me your feedback, it will help improve the final release.
