eoffice.jpgBlackBerry users often forget (or don’t even know) that they can add software to their devices. Web Worker Daily rounds up 7 productivity-boosting apps for the BlackBerry, including:

  • JiveTalk  If you use IM for chatting with colleagues and clients, JiveTalk will make your life a lot easier. It works across all major IM platforms, supports file transfers and chat transcripts (and even lets you email transcripts for a permanent record of discussions), and makes it easy to switch between multiple chat windows.
  • eOffice is the only document editor for BlackBerry currently available, but its real killer feature is integration with Google Docs and Spreadsheets. Using this program, you can open and edit files in your online account, as well as save files you’ve created on the BlackBerry directly to your Google account.

The author also mentions Jott for BlackBerry, the way-cool tool for replying to e-mail messages using your voice. Any killer apps you’d add to the list? Hit the Comments and list ‘em!
