Along with our updated gCalc! mentioned the other day, we're proud to announce the beta arrival of our latest gWhiz module, gRef: Information you need, everywhere you need it!

Like all gWhiz applications (so far anyways), gRef is FREE.

gRef provides an easy infrastructure to review (or even build) your own personalized reference library without carrying around a backpack of books or requiring that you slog thru pages of web search results.

Here's a few of the current items in our newly published, extensible reference catalog:

• BlackBerry keyboard shortcuts
• Mixed drink recipes
• Cooking measurements
• WWW domain extensions
• Music terminology
• vi Editor commands
• Trigonometric reference

gRef uses Google spreadsheets as a data source, so you can easily create your own references. For example:

• Family birthdays and Anniversaries
• Gift preferences & clothing sizes
• Favorite recipes

To get gRef, along with gCalc and gFlash+ (flashcard/trivia game app), just download OTA from our mobile site. You can also download a .zip file from our desktop site. All three modules, gCalc!, gFlash+, and gRef, will be in the single download.

You can help us build the catalog! What other reference items would you like to have? Here's a few possibilities:

First aid for people and pets?
MySQL commands?
Fantasy Football ranks?

Finally, here's a few screenshots:

woohoo, this could be a winner... thanks for the post!

It appears that a user canNOT download just this reference module. It is ALL or nothing? I guess my math skills (or lack) do not need a graphing calculator.

Yeah, that was the show stopper for me, too. I don't need all that bloat.

Thanks for taking a look.

The applications are indeed all in one module although you can certainly hide the icons for the applications you do not want.

I should also point out that while gCalc supports graphing, it is also just a good "normal" calculator that supports arithmetic expressions (like adding up a bills and being able to see what you've already entered). It also has conversion methods which are nice when you need to convert between metric/english, Fahrenheit to Celsius etc.

All that said, customer feedback like yours and others will drive what we do with the bundling over the next few releases....

I get "This application requires the following module, which is not installed: net_rim_xml_org." I had to down version 4.2.1 to avoid getting this error.

Well, my druthers would be separating out the modules so that they can be used separately and therefore, take up less memory, altho I can see that they might share common code that would be duplicated if each were loaded onto the BB separately. Just one user's opinion.

I'll second that. I appreciate the generosity of the free programs and while they all look great, I really just want one.

I'm happy to announce that you can now download the modules individually (gCalc, gFlash, or gRef) from our website. Of course, you can still download the entire package as well.
