With less than 2 months until we see our first Windows Phone 7 powered handset, Microsoft’s first Windows Phone 7 advertisement has hit the interwebs. The teaser ad which features a Lawrence of Arabia theme, promises the OS to bring forth a new revolution to the mobile OS world. Microsoft is really hyping up WP7 and they’ve got every right to be, but let’s just hope, for Microsoft’s sake that WP7 is all its caught up to be. Check out the ad above and do let us know in the comments your thoughts on Microsoft’s first WP7 ad!

For some odd reason I have been in a rare mood to acquire new applications for my BlackBerry this last week.  So I have been downloading applications, some free and some premium to see what I can find.  Yesterday I downloaded a BlackBerry Application called Addonis, it’s a hard application to categorize but I’d say it is an application that adds multiple utilitarian functions to your BlackBerry device.  One of the features that I really liked is the fact that Addonis allows you to block phone calls, you can block both specific numbers and unknown or private numbers.  The SMS signature did not appear to work right for me but I didn’t spend much time on it.  I didn’t really feel that any of the specific features were unique but it does have enough features and add ons that it could very well replace 2 or 3 other applications which is always nice.

Get Addonis in the BlackBerry Sites Store: Regularly $6.99 but on sale for $4.89 until September 5th

AddOnis is the All-In-One utility that your Blackberry can not be without! Nominated for the Best Utility App of 2009.

Yesterday I told you about BatteryBooster(TM) by S4BB Limited, which has given my impotent BlackBerry Torch 9800 Battery the ability to make it through the day.  Since that application worked so well I decided to give Memory Booster a whirl since its made by the same company.  I can’t say it had quite the same impact on my Torch but not many applications will have as an important effect as extra battery life.  Memory Booster is very nice as well, with both textual and bar graph views of memory usage as well as allowing you to set it to automatically free up memory when it reaches a certain percentage.

Get Memory Booster in the BlackBerry Sites Store regularly $9.99 but on sale for $4.99 until Sept. 14th

Store Description:

Boosts your device speed by recovering wasted memory.

How it works:
If memory is wasted, MemoryBooster improves the memory management of the BlackBerry Java Virtual Machine JVM which optimizes the device performance and stability. MemoryBooster recovers lost memory that is then free and can be assigned to running applications. You will see your applications running faster after using our "Boost Memory!" function. By simply hitting the "Boost Memory" button you can recover up to 12 MB or even more depending on your device.

Ubiquitous Rule: The more memory available the more memory your other applications can use and therefore, the faster these applications run.

Defining "memory": MemoryBooster boosts only runtime memory. This means it improves the BlackBerry’s memory usage for running applications which has a positive effect on the overall speed of the BlackBerry. MemoryBooster does not do anything with the media card memory which is the space for file storage only and would not have any effect on the speed of the phone anyway. Therefore, please do not compare our product with the "Options – Memory" listing of the BlackBerry.

MemoryBooster is now available in the following languages:
English, German, French, Mandarin and Cantonese.
The program language is automatically chosen by your device language. If the device language is different from one of the above, English is chosen.

This product comes with a 30 days value back guarantee. More info on our website.

Features:

• Benefits: Boosts your device speed by recovering wasted memory.
• Easy: Just hit "Boost Memory".
• No New Hardware: Software only solution. No additional hardware needed! Does not influence any other applications.
• Visuals: Fancy bar charts and textual high performance memory overview.
• Automatic Background Boosting: Make sure the BlackBerry is never wasting memory!
• Statistics: Extensive statistical data for effectiveness tracking.
• Instant Download: OTA and desktop installation available.

Minimum Requirements:

• None

   160×160, 240×160, 240×240, 240×260, 240×320, 320×240, 360×400, 360×480, 480×320, 480×360
