We successfully added $10 to our Starbucks account.

Racking up another point for mobile management, Starbucks released its free Starbucks Card Mobile App for BlackBerry on Thursday. Once you log into the account associated with your Starbucks card, or register a new card to the app, you'll be able to keep tabs on your lattes.

Starbucks Card Mobile App can display your card balance and even better, let you reload value from $10 to $100 (in $5 increments) by paying with your credit card. car-reloading is another option for when your balance falls below a certain threshold when you need your coffee kick.

The store-locator feature is handy, but the best feature--paying with the app--is only available in select Starbucks stores (in Seattle and Northern California) and in some trial Target stores. When you do find a participating location, the app will produce a bar code for the cashier to scan.

We successfully loaded credit onto our empty Starbucks card and produced a bar code, and we're looking forward to Starbucks expanding its trial to other stores. While remotely increasing the prepaid balance is a nice perk, the app's real value is in obviating the need for that plastic card in your wallet.

When it came down to the way this simple app did its business, we did have a minor nit to pick--our wish that every number fields were smart enough to translate letter submissions into numbers when pressing the shared number/letter keys on BlackBerrys with physical keyboards.

Other than that, turning those physical cards digital for every regions should be the company's mobile goal.

Download Starbucks Card Mobile App for BlackBerry by pointing the browser to http://mobilecard.starbucks.com/wap/home. The app is compatible on BlackBerry Bold, Curve, Storm, and Tour handsets.

This may be the year of the iPad's debut, but it's also the year that Android devices exploded in availability. To go along with the extra attention that Android's been getting of tardy, CNET News has ported its month-old iOS app to the Android marketplace. Debuting August 30, the free CNET News app for Android (Android-only download) offers an identical-but-Androidified feature set to its iOS twin.

The new Android app for CNET News lets you read articles without pagination, makes it easy to share them, and provides quick access to tweets from CNET editors and writers.

Included in the Android app are article bookmarking, full-screen reading (except for the CNET logo at the top), mobile-optimized search, a built-in Twitter feed from CNET editors and personalities, font resizing while reading stories, and a sharing link that lets you quickly share a story by means of the major communications and networking tools on your Android phone.

Using a barcode app like zxing's Barcode Scanner, point your Android phone camera at this QR code to find the CNET News app on the Android Market.

At the top of the app's interface a horizontal blog navigation bar appears. You can swipe it to view more blogs, including Security, Crave, Green Tech, and Webware. A similar scroll feature on the Twitter feed page lets you scroll through tweets by editor. You can also scroll vertically to read the tweet stream in its entirety, or tap a specific editor's tweet to read more by that author.

One of the benefits of the app over reading on our mobile Web site is that stories are loaded without pagination, so it's easier to read the latest news. The same is true of the app's search engine, which makes it easier to receive to older stories you're interested in.

There are more features in the works, and there's also a feedback button available below the More option so you can give us your suggestions. You can also let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.

The latest version of Intuit's tiny business accounting software, QuickBooks 2011, focuses on the fact that time is money for entrepreneurs. With that in mind, the update offers a host of new features aimed at streamlining important accounting tasks. Namely, QuickBooks 2011 hopes to make invoicing and collecting payments even faster and easier than before.

The main updates for QuickBooks this year are found in the two most popular versions of the software, Pro and Premier. The first thing seasoned users are likely to notice is a vastly simplified start-up process, thanks to the new Quick Start middle feature, which serves as an installation guide and also lets users import business contacts from Web-based e-mail clients such as Gmail, Yahoo, and Hotmail. This feature will also recommend first steps for new users to quickly and easily populate their accounts with key information. In addition, Intuit asserts that it has improved performance in QuickBooks 2011 so that it will start up quicker.

Another new feature added this year is something called Customer Snapshot, which will give business a comprehensive and consolidated view of an individual customer's account. This at-a-glance view includes purchase history, average days to pay, and outstanding balance, and aims to help tiny business communicate more effectively with customers and make timely decisions regarding their accounts.

Intuit also introduced QuickBooks Search--which will populate any report, invoice, account, or customer with a simple keyword search--and a new history view for customers and vendors that will provide a quick overview of details on a single screen. Other features include Batch Invoicing, which lets businesses bill several customers for the same service in one streamlined process, and a collections middle tool to help users swiftly identify overdue and almost-due invoices. Premier users will also look the addition of a Balance Sheet by Class tool, which allows tracking of multiple records in a single, Excel-like report.

Finally, QuickBooks 2011 will offer a mobile element that gives workers the ability to manage invoices, access customer data, and check payment status remotely via the Web or on the iPhone using an app made for the purpose. The feature, called QuickBooks Connect, will be offered as an add-on service and will require a separate subscription fee.

In every, Intuit announced four editions of QuickBooks 2011, including the Accountant and Enterprise versions, which will offer a few additional features. The Pro and Premier editions will be available starting September 27 for $229.95 and $399.95, respectively.

Documents To Go got its start on Palm and is in a pitched battle with rival Quickoffice on iPhone.

(Credit: Screenshot by Jessica Dolcourt/CNET)

We heard the rumor on Friday that BlackBerry-maker RIM snapped up Data Viz, makers of the popular productivity app Documents To Go, but it wasn't until Tuesday that RIM confirmed the purchase to CNET with a statement:

RIM has acquired some of the assets of DataViz and hired the majority of its employees to focus on supporting the BlackBerry platform. Terms of the deal were not disclosed but the transaction was not material to RIM in the context of RIM's financial results.

The buyout price may be pocket change to RIM, who isn't telling, but the acquisition isn't without impact or import.

Although we know from PreCentral that the app won't support WebOS, it's uncertain if or how quickly RIM will dial down support for the moneymaking Documents To Go on other mobile platforms.

The premium version of the product--a freemium office productivity suite that can view, edit, and create word processing documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and PDFs--has been in a price and features war with rival Quickoffice on multiple mobile platforms. Fifteen dollars a pop for iPhone business professionals buying Documents To Go for iPhone isn't a business to quickly tug from, and the app is also available on for mobile operating systems like Android and Windows Mobile.

Documents To Go has been around since the early days of mobile apps, but RIM only began bundling the free version of Documents To Go on the BlackBerry Bold in November 2008, a boon since the phone didn't have any other native documents viewer. Now it will be interesting to look what RIM does with the company's software for itself, and if it can use Documents To Go, or even the Microsoft Exchange app Road Sync, to help differentiate the Blackberry brand.

(Credit: Skype)

The latest release of Skype's 5.0 beta will let you make video calls to as many as 10 people at the same time, according to details posted on the company's Thursday blog.

The 10-way calling is an upgrade from the first 5.0 beta, which offered only 5-way video chatting. But beyond tweaking the video calling, the engineers at Skype have outfitted beta 2 with other new features and tweaks.

Skype's new Home area will offer updates about the service, details on your call purchases, and videos to help newbies receive started. The new offline IM feature will let you send messages to and receive them from other people who are offline. The messages are kept on hold and delivered once you or the other person is back online.

Beta 2 has also tried to improve both the quality and reliability of Skype calls. A built-in client messaging service tells you about any potential problems with a call and offers suggestions to improve its quality. Should your network connection go down, the new Skype beta will try to quickly re-establish that connection so the call doesn't receive dropped. If the call is lost, Skype will quickly redial it for you.

The gurus at Skype have also tweaked the software's interface by displaying photos of your contacts and a history list of previous conversations.

You can learn a bit more and grab Skype 5.0 beta 2 at Skype's Web site. To install the beta, you'll need to be running Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7. (Sorry Mac users, an OS X beta won't be available until later this year.) And if you want to try out the 10-way calling, your Skype friends will need to install beta 2 as well.

Today I receive the pleasure of writing about something that the CNET team built -- a brand new software product called CNET TechTracker Plus. This is an upgrade from CNET TechTracker, our free application that keeps software up-to-date. Since we launched TechTracker about a year ago, it has become wildly popular. People recognize that keeping software up-to-date is important and that it improves security, fixes bugs, and gives you the latest features. With today's launch of TechTracker Plus, we are going beyond updates to give you a more complete way to manage software.

TechTracker Plus lets you perform installs, uninstalls, updates, and downloads every in one place. We've also added some TechTracker Plus features to CNET Downloads web pages--these features streamline installs and are visible only to TechTracker Plus customers. Our goal was to leverage the power of the CNET Downloads software catalog - the largest catalog of its nice - for more than just software updates and downloads.
