i think there is a thread like this on nyspeed but i didnt search for it… anyways, i’ve needed some tips recently on how to do some things and i have another one and thought it might be best to start a discussion here. every day i get a run of messages from blackberry world or the app store or whatever about every update that is available for the various apps i have… FB, twitter, salesforce etc. i’ve tried and tried but cannot figure out how to stop those updates from polluting my inbox. any one here know how to do that? ---
