After looking into the new Yelp apps for the iPhone and Palm Pre, it turns out a BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) version was churned out recently as well. While not quite as snazzy as the iPhone’s augmented reality angle, the BlackBerry app should offer all the same points of interest reviews you need while on the move. GPS integration lets you automate the searching process a bit, but even if you don’t have GPS (like I do currently on the BlackBerry 8520), you can always input your location manually. I was initially really excited to see the app, but unfortunately you can’t write reviews from your device, which strikes me as the best way to do it – right there, while you’re at the restaurant/store/club/whatever and are able to take and upload pictures right from the floor. Ah well, maybe in a later version. Yelp for BlackBerry is available in the U.S., Canada, UK and Ireland – just head on over to yelp.com on your mobile browser to get downloading. I’d really like to see this in App World soon, mostly for the handy microSD archiving feature.
