Top 10 Blackbery Business Apps

This morning I came across a twitter post from fellow PR pro Arik Hanson entitled “ 7 Must-Have Apps for PR Pros”. As a Blackberry app junkie I was immediately intrigued and clicked on his blog post to see what I was missing. To my surprise, the list was tailored to iPhone users! So, for all of my fellow Blackberry users, I feel obligated to share this list of must have FREE Blackberry apps for business professionals:
