Wunderlist is an extremely elegant, easy to use and very productive task manager.
Wunderlist runs on Blackberry devices using OS 5 or above. If you’re using a Bold or Curve, you’ll need an SD card. It’s available for touch and non-touch devices, so we’ve got you covered whichever device you use 
To get started now, visit Blackberry App World on your Blackberry device and do a search for ‘Wunderlist’.
Blackberry has released their OS 7.1. The best part for us was support for Mobile WiFi hotspot. Now you can use your BB as a mobile WiFi Hotspot for upto 5 devices (of course you will have to get the right data plan from your carrier first).

GroceryList is simple and efficient even for large inventories. The two primary things you do with it are add items to the list for your next shopping trip and go shopping with the list.
Adding to the list is quick because you don’t re-type items you’ve added in the past. In the search box, you just start typing any part of the item you want to add. The list of matching items that appears will shrink quickly as you type until you are left with just a few or possibly just one item to select from. Items already on the list will be in black. Items not yet on the list will be greyed-out.
Finally there seems to be a decent Video Chat App for Blackberry Playbook.
What is ReelPortal?
ReelPortal is an easy-to-use video chat and conference system. ReelPortal is intentionally designed for a future where small, efficient, yet powerful video-capable computing devices are ubiquitous inside every home and office, replacing the traditional telephone. As such, these devices will always be on, and serve as standard communication tools between users, regardless of their physical location.
ReelPortal users can call each other directly via their nicknames, which can be anything of their choosing (given name, phone number, etc). Just like the traditional telephone, there is no need to log in with an account and password to place a call. So how would the callee identify the caller, you may ask. Like the traditional telephone, ReelPortal assumes the callee can identify the caller by voice, and perhaps by their face.
Beyond the calling aspect, ReelPortal users can opt to create a unique private room, where they can invite friends and family to join for a multi-way video conference. Users joining a room need only to know the room name, and room key (if any). Once in, they are automatically connected to everyone in that room. Thus, there is no need to even know the nicks of the participants. Again, the participants are identified by their voice and face. Users may adopt a personal room as their own, where friends and family can join and check whether they are available.
Within the home or office, ReelPortal can also serve as an active, local video intercom system. But with an adequate internet connection, this system can be extended globally, effortlessly. Starting a conversation would be just a click away. As an intercom system, ReelPortal maintains connections between devices indefinitely, with fault-tolerant logic to detect and retry any broken connection. With this capability, users can move in and out of networks (3G/WiFi) with minimal disruptions.

RIM recently launched the Blackberry Bold 9900 with touchscreen in India. Its an awesome phone, with good build quality (though at first check, it feels a bit plasticky), and a very fast and responsive OS. All in all, a great phone to buy. Now the question is, can you tether it to your Mac as a modem via bluetooth? Of course you can. I called up Airtel for help and they said they didn’t support Macs. So here it is for all fellow Mac users.
Before you start, you will have to call up your carrier and request them to enable internet on your BB (in this case Airtel, and you should mention that you want to access the internet on your laptop/pc via your laptop. You need them to tell you whats your APN, username and password).
For Airtel, call 121 for enabling internet and call 7070 (dial and then press 2 once connected) for BB instructions.
Download BB modem script from here. Place the contents of the zipped folder inside your Mac HDD -> Library -> Modem Scripts
Bluetooth Pair your BB with your Mac. In the end of the process you will get the dialog box which says you can use your BB/Device as a modem to access internet. The details for access are as follows:
Phone Vendor: research In Motion
Phone Model: Blackberry IP Modem (GSM)
Username: (leave blank)
Password: (leave blank)
APN: airtelgprs.com
CID: 1
Now go to Network Preferences: Locations -> Edit -> Add New and name it, lets say, BB9900
Configuration: Default
Telephone Number: airtelgprs.com
Account Name: (leave blank)
Password: (leave blank)
Click on ‘Advanced’ and your settings should be as per the following:
Click ‘Ok’ and save the settings. Now click ‘Connect’ to enjoy the internet.
