Free BlackBerry apps: Nine Torch 9800 compatible downloads

CIO.com's BlackBerry watcher Al Sacco rounds up nine valuable, free BlackBerry apps that'll run on RIM's brand new BlackBerry Torch 9800 slider smartphone.

Tag Reader for BlackBerry



You know those funky, multicolor barcode-like “tags” popping up on movie posters, flyers, in magazines and just about everywhere else? They’re meant to quickly provide cell-phone users with additional information on a given subject, and they’re really quite cool. But they’re also useless if you don’t have an app that can translate them into Web links, like Microsoft’s (MSFT) free Tag Reader. Simply snap a pic of the tag using the free app and you’re golden.

Download Tag Reader via BlackBerry.
