If you’ve ever been involved in building out a large scale network, you’ve undoubtedly heard about single points of failure. The BlackBerry network itself is a single point of failure as we saw last week: if it goes down, every single person that relies on BlackBerry email is hosed (pun intended: it is a Canadian device!). But for you personally, the biggest single point of failure is probably your battery: if you run out of juice and you don’t have your travel charger, you are, well..

If you’ve got a young kid, you’ve probably got a video camera for capturing all the seemingly normal stuff that we can do as adults but that is just plain amazing when a one year old does it. Thing is, most people don’t carry about portable DVD players to show off all the new stuff that the kid…

The guys at Skylab Mobilesystems have done it again: they keep creating these applications that I can’t imagine living without. The latest is called Mobile Tracker and is described in their press release like this: By taking advantage of the already built-in GPS receiver of the BlackBerry 8800 series, MobileTracker is able to record tracklogs. Those tracklogs are saved on the BlackBerry’s internal micro SD-Card and can be viewed directly in Google Earth once you have the BlackBerry connected to your desktop and click on the tracklog file

Joe from Pinger.com wrote back March (wow I’m way behind, sorry!) about some new functionality that they’re offering over via Pinger.com that gives you the ability to send voice mails to anyone in your Pinger.com address book by calling pinger (858-274-6437), saying the name of your contact and then leaving a voice mail. The really cool part come next though: you can create ‘groups’ on pinger.com and then leave a voice mail that gets distributed to all the members of the group by saying the name of the group and then leaving your voice mail. One of the less noticed parts of this that I like is that your contacts don’t live on the phone: one of the biggest pains is moving from one phone or carrier to another only to have to re-enter all your contacts and all your phone numbers.

A couple weeks ago I got an email from Marc at MobilePlay about a new service they’re offering called eXpress It!, which is billed as a Social Networking Service for mobile phone users. The service allows you to create a web page via your web browser that you then send to your phone (which they can do for you) and then you can forward that page to any of the people in your address book either by sending an email (probably the preferred method if you already have a BlackBerry) or by MMS.
