Get Push News and Weather on Your Blackberry

Dear Fellow Blackberry Users:

Yes, we may be a dwindling bunch with the advent of the 3G iPhone and the Android. Yes, we may not be able to get cool versions of Facebook or have third-party developers build games specifically for our platform. But we still have push email, which is a tech trick that has stood the test of time and made for many hours of offline message reading.

Now, that same push technology that has carried us through many a dead zone has been applied to other information nuggets as well. BlackBerry Web Signals now allows you to push stories from news sources like the New York Times and get weather updates from accuweather.com directly on your phone. It's not exactly Guitar Hero, but it'll do. Just visit mobile.blackberry.com on your phone and download away.
