One of my favorite applications from way back when I had Palm OS devices was BugMe! This application allowed me to capture handwritten notes and set custom alarms. Today, we see that Electric Pocket released a version of BugMe! for BlackBerry devices and brings that same functionality we saw over 10 years ago, along with improvements reflecting today’s technology. BugMe! for BlackBerry is available in the BlackBerry App World store for $2.99 and there is a free “3 note” trial available.

BugMe! for the BlackBerry lets you take notes and then set those notes as a reminder. This updated version also allows you to launch Internet URLs, jump to the email program with email address hyperlinks, and place calls with phone number hyperlinks. BugMe! notes can be created from emails, texts, tasks and appointments, and shared with others via SMS or email. Notes can be prioritized and found easily using the integrated search capability. Keyboard shortcuts are a key feature of BlackBerry devices and are provided in BugMe!
