BlackBerry 10 is probably the most controversial mobile platform out there today. People love to have an opinion of this company, especially the media. Heralded by some as the generation of mobile, it is also dismissed by others as the last gasp of a company desperate to stay relevant. Most tech media articles today tend to err on the side of sensationalism, making it seem as if somehow BlackBerr... »
When you’re constantly searching online, reading news, checking Twitter or other social networks then you’ve probably come across something you wanted to read, but was in a language you don’t speak. Language is no longer a limitation, thanks to apps such as iTranslator PRO that make translating fast, easy and accurate. iTranslator PRO is a cool translation app created by TrustBe ... »
Introduction This is by far the most important product launch in the history of Research in Motion (now known as BlackBerry). Not only is the BlackBerry Z10 simply a new smartphone for the company, it runs a brand new platform, comes at a critical time, and has undergone a huge redesign. BlackBerry as you know has changed forever. It is in no way similar, related, reminiscent, or even vague acq... »
With the announcement of the new iPad mini tablet, Apple has jumped into the small tablet market. Comparisons to other tablets such as the Nexus 7 and the BlackBerry Playbook are going to be inevitable. So let’s succumb to the inevitable right away, shall we? With the PlayBook being out for about a year and a half, its surprisingly still quite relevant as a 7″ inch-tablet. The iPad ... »
Have you ever downloaded an app that was so incredibly crappy you wished you had never come across it? Or maybe the app was so amazing you wished you had known about it sooner. Maybe if other users left reviews for each app/game they downloaded it would be much easier for all of us to find good apps and skip the bad ones. Here’s how you can submit a review of an app or game to App World: Not... »
I’m a sucker for tower defense games. I mean, who doesn’t like watching waves upon waves of creeps meet their inevitable doom passing through a maze of your carefully orchestrated death traps? Today, I’m looking at Radiant Defense, a tower defense game for the BlackBerry PlayBook by the gaming wizardry of the folks over at Hexage. Let’s dive right in, shall we? Plot Hor... »
After more than a year, and amid the drama, speculation and buzz surrounding BlackBerry 10, Research in Motion has rather silently delivered on their promise of a 4G BlackBerry PlayBook. Putting aside the improved processor, 4G radio, and NFC, you’d be hard-pressed to find any difference between it and the original PlayBook. Yet, this could be considered a milestone in itself, marking RIM’s fir... »
Middlemind Games released a couple of weeks ago a cool new coloring app for the BlackBerry PlayBook. If you’ve got kids or, like me, just really like to color then you probably looked for an app like this to find that there weren’t many options. This might just be what you were looking for. Here’s my review of the app: Kids’ Cute and Cuddly Coloring Book is just that, a co... »
Since I was a young boy Formula 1 racing was a big part of my weekends. Who could ever forget the epic battles of Michael Schumacher and Damon Hill? With the release of the new F1 time app (also available for the PlayBook) I decided to do a review but unfortunately with BBW and BBjam10 on full swing I couldn’t find the time. Lucky for us all our good friend and N4BB community member Urbanglo... »
After the release of this popular title at BlackBerry World Conference 2012, Lara Croft has made her way to the BlackBerry PlayBook OS platform with a new installment, Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light. This is a third person gaming experience that contains PlayBook worthy graphics, a great storyline and it delivers a great game play experience. Square Enix has delivered a great game for the ... »
Most of you probably use Google Reader a lot to keep track of all those sites you read constantly (especially N4BB, right?). I work on a desk, therefore I’m always on my work computer, but some people are usually always out and rely a lot more on their BlackBerry. What do they need to keep their RSS feeds at hand? BerryReader. Bellshare’s always been known for making awesome apps, and ... »
When I got my Torch 9850 the first thing that came to mind was “I need a case for it”. I’m actually not a fan of cases or covers, I think phones look way better without them but the thought of getting scratches or dents on it kills me. I always keep my phone protected so I thought, since I already dislike the idea of using a case, why not get one that would look almost as cool as... »
SmarterApps is known for not only making awesome apps and games, but also for making great remakes of those apps us BlackBerry users don’t get. This time they created App for Google+, given that Google has not shown any signs of it working or even planning to work on a Google+ app for BlackBerry, our saviour has come to our rescue. My first thought was “Oh God, here comes an awful copy... »
When I got my Torch 9850 my good friend and fellow editor Niko gave me Photo Studio PRO as a BB7 welcoming gift, a pretty awesome gift I must say. If you like taking photos with your BlackBerry and editing them on the go, this should definitely be one of your top choices. Photo Studio PRO lets you add effects to your photos, giving you a wide range of photo effects. You can also manually adjust se... »
“Hey, friend me!” The phrase has become all too common nowadays as social networking sites have become all powerful (and don’t get me started on the fact that befriend is a verb not friend). The most notable of course is Facebook. It seems almost every phone on market today has some way to interact with the site. RIM has had an app available for a while now, but is still lacking ... »
