Day 11: MapQuest for Mobile Beta – $FREE
Although Google Maps is pretty slick and accurate, a lot of people still use Mapquest. While using Mapquest the other day to map my cross country road trip I plan to take with the kids next summer; I happened to look to the side and saw the advertisement for Mapquest for mobile beta. Then I noticed it said it was FREE FOR BLACKBERRY – SWEET!!!!
