MyAssist Announce Unique and New Mobile App for BlackBerry Smartphones



MyAssist, a well known name in mobile personal assistance, has launched the MyAssist mobile application for BlackBerry smartphones. The application is powered by Handmark (News - Alert) and is available in BlackBerry App World.
