The best and worst of BlackBerry App World

Worst: Bright Smile



Are you worried enough about your dental hygiene habits to pay $5 for an app that merely dispenses advice on how to care for your teeth--brushing techniques and the like--and provides a customizable timer to help you devote the proper amount of time to your brushing? I'm all for using technology to improve health care, but this app seems oddly paired with the BlackBerry, since it utilizes only the stopwatch function of the device. Bright Smile also takes up half a megabyte of memory, which seems like a lot for what it does.
