Will We Actually Get Quake 3 for a BlackBerry PlayBook?

 

One of a comparatively considerable demos RIM has been display off during shows is what they have been job a Quake 3 demo app. we grilled a couple of of a demo reps given CES as well as nothing of them could discuss it me if a app was only a video of Quake 3 using or a tangible open source Quake 3 engine ported to a BlackBerry PlayBook. While a EA Need for Speed diversion is considerable we would adore to essentially fool around upheaval upon a PlayBook as well as we keep upon asking if they have it using yet…

Anybody else wish to fool around Quake 3 upon a PlayBook? The engine during a behind of Quake is open sourced as id Tech 3 behind in 2005 as well as we can get a full source formula ZIP during this link. That could get unequivocally engaging once RIM gets around to releasing a C/C++ SDK for diversion developers.

Still it would be overwhelming if RIM shipped a PlayBook with Quake 3 preinstalled… You can check out a little video of a Quake 3 demo RIM has been display off pleasantness of SlashGear

PlayBook OS to Have App Notifications to “Display Events Such as New Email”

PlayBook OS to Have App Notifications to "Display Events Such as New Email"

I was carrying the review with @Bla1ze final night as good as you were articulate about 3rd celebration as good as local focus notifications upon the BlackBerry PlayBook Tablet OS. Right right away you cannot find any documented API for developers to beginner notifications in the tip right as good as tip left bars upon the PlayBook. There have been the little undocumented QNX APIs which the little devs have speckled though you have not had any fitness removing them to work. Developers have been asking about this upon the central forums so you motionless to do the little digging. We overwhelmed upon notifications the bit progressing this week for low battery though that's the usually screenshot you have.

Turns out RIM was kind sufficient to give us the little discernment upon how notifications will work in their Development UI Guidelines for the BlackBerry Tablet OS. Essentially focus specific events, they give the e.g. of an eventuality "such as the latest email," will uncover up in the tip left dilemma of the screen. Kind of creates you consternation how quick you will have the local email client… or during slightest the 3rd celebration one. On the tip right of the shade will be the standing indicators with battery energy as good as wireless tie details. You can perspective these by swiping to the core of the shade from the tip right or tip left.

Hopefully this underline will come to both AIR as good as WebWorks apps prior to launch. What you unequivocally wish would be the capability to concede websites to beginner notifications simply only similar to the desktop browser which flashes when something happens similar to an incoming Facebook chat.

Kind of cold right? Here is how RIM describes it:

 

Notifications as good as indicators

Application notifications crop up in the top-left dilemma of the screen. These notifications surprise users about application-specific events such as the latest email. Status indicators crop up in the top-right dilemma of the screen. These indicators arrangement standing report which relates opposite applications such as battery energy as good as wireless connection.

Application notifications rapt users of the latest eventuality or latest report which is delegate to their stream activity. You can trigger an focus presentation when the latest eventuality or latest report is accessible which users wish to know about.

Users can perspective the shade which displays notifications as good as indicators by swiping from the top-left or top-right toward the core of the screen. Users can entrance the sum of the presentation by drumming the dwindle idol during the tip of the screen.

Best practices

  • Use focus notifications judiciously. Try to establish the sorts of events which users wish to be told of. Test your presentation plan with users to equivocate nonessential distractions or interruptions.
  • Do not operate focus notifications to yield feedback to users, such as upon condition that acknowledgment of the specific user action.

Will a BlackBerry PlayBook Browser Replace Most Apps?

Posted: 03 Mar 2011 07:04 PM PST

Will a BlackBerry PlayBook Browser Replace Most Apps?

There is a single thing we listen to over as well as over from RIM about a BlackBerry PlayBook is a "No-compromise Web." From a approach we listen to it RIM is perplexing to surveillance a BlackBerry PlayBook's web browser with a full Flash await as a idealisation app. If we consider about it a bit it kind of creates clarity in a uncanny kind of approach which a browser will be a "One app to order them all." Jim Balsillie has been observant this given Nov of final yearand it is eventually starting to have clarity to me. Just consider about it for a second…

Many apps have been only dumb-ed down (aka Mobilized) web services:

If we consider tough about it only demeanour during a little of a apps we use. we know BerryReader is a single of my many renouned apps though what if we could simply operate Google Readers website properly… Would we need an app? Here have been a integrate alternative examples of what we mean:

  • Twitter/Facebook – Would we need an app for them if we could only operate a full website?
  • Facebook chat… same story
  • Youtube, Vimeo, Netflix, etc – Flash is aristocrat upon these sites as well as a PlayBook additionally supports HTML5 video from what we have seen in tests we have run.

The thing is which many of these services in "App" form have stipulations which set what we can do from a app. For example, we cannot entrance all your Facebook settings from many Facebook apps. From a website all is possible. It competence not be all inscription optimized though if it functions 95% of a time who cares…

What about Games?!?!?!?!

 

Ever played a Flash or Facebook game? How about Farmville? RIM is earnest which many Flash calm games will work upon a PlayBook… we have attempted it as well as formula have been sweet!

How about my local Email? Contacts? Calendar? etc…

If we operate a operate similar to Gmail, Google Apps, or Yahoo we could simply revisit their website. RIM can even have sites in to "launcher links" with notifications served by a elementary API when they have been open. icon smile Will the BlackBerry PlayBook Browser Replace Most Apps?

How about Pandora as well as Slacker or my alternative streaming song sites?

Didn't we contend something about uncompromised web? Flash is entirely upheld so RIM could have all of these apps work!

How about Google Maps?

You only conduct upon over to maps.Google.com as well as operate it only similar to we would upon your PC! Better nonetheless operate any mapping website we want.

Will RIM conduct to be means to have a PlayBook Browser a "One App to order them all" to assuage Apple's conduct begin in a Tablet app marketplace? Its not similar to these alternative tablets do not have means browsers though a Torch group has finished a little flattering honeyed things with a PlayBook as well as even a BlackBerry 6 browser. we am extraordinary if they will be means to lift of an additional miracle.

What we am unequivocally anticipating for is if RIM manages to lift off a little latest fangled web API's which concede websites to action some-more similar to apps but a stipulations of a stream WebWorks API. For example, there should be a elementary API for formulating a presentation for a user with a little in accord with limit. Or improved nonetheless a capability to have a site action as a own app instead of simply an additional add-on inside of a browser.

 

Jim Balsillie to Apple: “You Don’t Need an App for a Web”

Posted: 03 Mar 2011 06:58 PM PST

Jim Balsillie to Apple: "You Don't Need an App for a Web"

RIM co-CEO Jim Balsillie was a undoubted fount of report during a Web 2.0 Summit event. While upon theatre he was asked what he would contend to Steve Jobs if he were there. His reply "You eventually showed up." we am amatory how RIM's CEOs have been eventually starting to mangle out of their commercial operation bombard over simply perplexing to buy hockey teams.

According to Mashable, Balsillie compared a BlackBerry proceed to a Apple "There is an App for that" approach. According to Balsillie "You don't need an app for a web." He is radically observant which a 300,000 Apple iOS apps have been zero compared to a billions of websites which RIM skeleton upon bringing to a PlayBook. He boasted which PlayBook will be 3-4 times faster than a iPad.

 

Those have been fighting difference as well as we am blissful which Balsillie thinks he eventually has a product which can behind up his claims. Now if usually they could work upon a support for a BlackBerry WebKit browser. There is no reason it has to be dark in hideous PDF's as well as 1990s character websites.

Why we Choose a BlackBerry PlayBook Over a Competition

Posted: 03 Mar 2011 11:27 AM PST

PlayBook Angle 1 thumb Why I Choose the BlackBerry PlayBook Over the Competition

 

Why we Choose a BlackBerry PlayBook Over a Competition

Since RIM voiced a BlackBerry PlayBook months ago there is a total latest landscape in a inscription market. These latest competitors have most BlackBerry users wondering how a BlackBerry PlayBook stacks up to a foe as great as what creates it special. Here have been a facilities we consider will have a PlayBook mount out:

QNX Operating System:

I could go upon about a QNX OS for ages nonetheless this is RIM's core differentiator. It allows them to do things which would be roughly unfit as great as awkward upon alternative devices. For example, a QNX formed Tablet OS can be updated nonetheless rebooting as great as wirelessly. That equates to no iTunes compulsory as great as if RIM pulls it off right we can get incremental updates which supplement functionality in easy to exercise installs. The genuine time OS additionally equates to which multi tasking will blow divided a competition. More upon that…

Speed, Speed, Speed:

While a foe competence additionally be starting to get 1Ghz+ Dual Core processors a QNX OS as great as how it uses a processor creates a total difference. The QNX OS is a genuine time OS lets prolonged estimate operations/applications/drivers not have to reason up alternative processes by not locking up a processor. You will notice this upon your desktop as great as alternative machines when we run some-more than 2 things upon a twin core processor. Other functions will run most slower since a processor complete functions have been locking a processor. we am being unequivocally uncomplicated about this nonetheless check out a sum here.

A Fresh Start:

 

Some/most of a BlackBerry PlayBooks foe is perplexing to run a smartphone written OS upon a Tablet. RIM is operative a alternative approach by bringing a secure, goal critical, tip of a line microkernel OS to a Tablet form factor. In alternative difference a same OS which runs armoured column as great as even chief reactors reliably will be regulating your tablet.

Fastest 7 in. ultraportable tablet:

Its is right divided a usually player in a 7 in. margin with a twin core processor as great as is usually a little bit heavier than a Samsung Galaxy Tab. Most of a foe is operative upon a 10" distance which we consider does not have most clarity compared to a full laptop. Still opposite strokes for opposite folks. My theory is RIM will recover a 10" chronicle in a future.

Browser with Flash AND HTML5 media:

While a little Android tablets right divided have Flash or have been removing it shortly RIM has it built in. Other tablets (iPad) will substantially never have it. Also a PlayBook does Flash natively as great as is upon fire quick about it.

BlackBerry Integration:

This can be taken as both a as great as as great as minus. The Bridge tie to a BlackBerry equates to we don't have to conduct nonetheless an additional email customer nonetheless it does extent a functionality of a PlayBook nonetheless a tethered BlackBerry. This seems to be a structure underline for RIM.

Confirmed 4G versions:

Unlike alternative stream tablets RIM has reliable which a WiMax chronicle is entrance out tighten to launch as great as a LTE a single will be here prior to a finish of a year. we am certain a foe will additionally have a little 4G versions by afterwards (HP TouchPad) nonetheless RIM will eventually not be personification locate up.

Bezel Gestures:

While we consider a HP TouchPad will additionally have gestures no alternative inscription we know of has them. The stream default gestures from a cosmetic bezel have been cold as great as RIM usually has room to urge upon it!

Megapixel Cameras:

The BlackBerry PlayBook cameras smoke-stack up great opposite a iPad nonetheless they have been allied with Android as great as WebOS devices. The 5MP during a behind of as great as 3MP front should be excellent for most applications.

MicroUSB as great as MiniHDMI:

One of a things which drives me nuts in a mobile space is exclusive connectors. RIM is regulating a same customary MicroUSB as great as MiniHDMI specs built in to a device. No dongles required.

Enterprise Compatibility as great as Security:

Companies have a RIM name to tumble during a behind of upon when it comes to security. The QNX OS is stone plain as great as approved so. Something tells me a Tablet OS is not distant behind. RIM has spilled a couple of beans about how a PlayBook fits in to a craving point of view nonetheless we pattern we will listen to most some-more during BlackBerry World in early May.

Multiple programming languages as great as extensible platform:

RIM right divided supports Adobe AIR/Flash as great as WebWorks to rise apps nonetheless a local C/C++ as great as a Java height have been additionally coming. RIM can additionally supplement some-more platforms as they see fit due to a QNX pattern as great as refurbish them piecemeal. More options equates to some-more developers with incompatible ability sets have been means to emanate apps. Only time will discuss it how which will spin out nonetheless it looks promising.

Fresh begin with conduit as great as sell partners

While not usually a underline of a PlayBook it is a total latest section for RIM. They can eventually do divided with all a funny carry out they authorised carriers upon a BlackBerry Smartphones. For example, carriers right divided have to authorize any OS update. Hopefully RIM will discuss it them to fly a kite. Same thing with permitting carriers similar to AT&T to pull twenty-five homescreen spam icons to my BlackBerry Torch. A purify line-up can let them transparent which out. we am conference they devise upon receiving value of it. A genuine pass benefaction they could get out of carriers is not charging some-more for regulating your BlackBerry smartphone as a modem for your PlayBook as great as usually regulating a same interpretation out of your bucket. Details competence have to be worked out nonetheless which would be an engaging twist.

Clean line-up nonetheless bequest await as great as applications

One of RIM's greatest issues with a BlackBerry smartphone OS is bequest support. They have been still ancillary more aged versions of BES as great as regularly need to demeanour during a behind of to have certain they have not damaged anything. The PlayBook gives them a uninformed as great as complicated begin so they have been not structure a inscription upon an OS creatively written to be a pager.

They own a total straight development

Both HP as great as Apple rise both a OS as great as a inclination so they have certain their OS respect any device. This is a same with a PlayBook as great as is unequivocally usually a differentiator from a Android inscription OS. The Android phones have been done by opposite manufacturers with any a single carrying to understanding with what Google provides them as great as customizing it. It creates for disorderly nonetheless customizable solutions.

This additionally relates to how quick your inscription is outdated. With Apple we know once a year we will get see a latest iPad. With Android we have been starting to see opposite ones any couple of months or even weeks. The PlayBook will be removing opposite versions nonetheless all formed upon a same design. This is both great as great as bad nonetheless we privately similar to a actuality which we know my device will be a categorical device upheld for apps as great as such for during slightest a year.

With which said…

I am certain there have been most some-more reasons nonetheless share yours in a comments! Don't get me wrong a miss of apps as great as detriment of initial to marketplace value have been starting to be tough for RIM to strike nonetheless RIM really stands a great fighting chance. Comparing Tablets is not usually a undiluted Apples vs Googles vs HPs vs RIM more aged nonetheless we will try to item what we consider RIM can do about trouncing a foe soon!
