Great list! Is there any application or method to connect a Blackberry via USB to a computer or overhead projector to let others watch use of Blackberry applications in real time?

Students and teachers alike will get some use out of the Calendar Pro app. It is deffinitely an improvement over the default BlackBerry calendar.
