Here’s is a look at the top five Blackberry Apps as clicked by readers this week!

Macberry Widgets

Bplay has just introduced what I believe to be their best theme yet. Macberry Widgets brings update style and usage to almost every BB in the line-up, not just the newer models. Get Widgets on your 83xx Curve or Pearl. Scrolling makes the the transparent Widgets for messages, calendar, events appear then disappear, giving full view of your homescreen desktop. There is also a weather widget for 24-hour homescreen weather updates.

One of my complaints about the recent onslaught of fantastic new BB themes, is the fact that most often any regulated by their carrier or device to 4.5 or below, cannot take advantage of them. I’m happy to see that Bplay continues to serve the entire BB community.

Take your dock to your BlackBerry with the MacBerry Widgets theme. Scrolling up reveals a hidden set of calendar, message, and weather* widgets keep you on top of your day.

*Weather widget requires installation of free WeatherEye applicaton*

Available For: 8100 Pearl, 8110 Pearl, 8120 Pearl, 8130 Pearl, 8220 Pearl Flip, 8230 Pearl Flip, 8300 Curve, 8310 Curve, 8320 Curve, 8330 Curve, 8330m, 8350i, 8520, 8800, 8820, 8830, 8900 Curve, 9000 Bold, 9500 Storm, 9530 Storm, 9630 Tour
