OnStar RemoteLink for the PlayBook makes an appearance at the QNX booth

Posted: 11 Jan 2012 08:52 AM PST

Most of the showcasing from CES 2012 we have done so far has been from RIM.  This morning Kevin from CrackBerry ventured to the reverse side of the BlackBerry booth to see the people over at QNX. And to our pleasure they were showing off an OnStar app.  It is loaded with great features such as remote start, trip mapping as well as being to lock and unlock the vehicles doors.  Best part, this is written in HTML5 and will run on other BlackBerry devices and not just the PlayBook.  Video after the link!

PlayBook OS 2.0 Print To Go App Caught on Video

Posted: 11 Jan 2012 08:11 AM PST

Print to Go

We have heard a few rumblings that RIM was working on a mobile printing app for the PlayBook and it looks like it is coming with PlayBook OS 2.0. Kevin @CrackBerry scored a video demo of the upcoming app from Jeff Gadway @RIM during CES. This app really has some great visual flare that gives you an idea of what TAT is adding with their Cascades engine. The Print To Go app essentially allows you to print from your playbook through your computer. No word on if it supports Mac along with Windows but hopefully there is broad support. Check out the video and let us know what you think!

Another Great PlayBook OS 2.0 Walkthrough Video

Posted: 11 Jan 2012 06:30 AM PST

PlayBook OS 2.0 

We posted a few videos of PlayBook OS 2.0 from CES but a friend pointed out that they were not the best quality. That is why I was happy to see The Verge do a really nice wrap up video with Jeff Gadway showing off the new PlayBook OS 2.0 features. I am loving the rich text editor for email along with the combined contact cards. I am really impressed with what RIM has done so far. I am also digging the idea of using the PlayBook as a media center using my BlackBerry as a mouse. Anybody else seeing the potential there?

Check it out for yourself below and let us know if you spot more videos!

Kik for BlackBerry receives an update, a must get!

Posted: 11 Jan 2012 05:38 AM PST

Kik Messenger has received an update, that the Kik team labels as a must get.  It is told to have improved performance and increased battery life.  If you are unfamiliar with Kik, it is an app with a lot of controversy behind it,  and one of the best multi-platform messaging apps available for BlackBerry. If you already have Kik installed, you can check in the Help and About section of the update or head to their site.

UberSocial Gets Small Update to v1.304

Posted: 11 Jan 2012 05:16 AM PST

UberSocial just put out a point release for their popular BlackBerry client. This new update seems to fix issues in their previous v1.3 update and bumps us to v1.304. They have even been kind enough to list out the changes in this update:

  • We’ve redesigned the tweet composer screen to be simpler, more friendly, and provide more room
  • Fixed the bug where on some devices the character count on the compose tweet screen didn’t work
  • Completely re-written Facebook oauth logic, resolves issue with facebook web page not rendering correctly on the built-in browser widget and the in-ability to login if you setup your facebook security to require the naming of a new device login

UberSocial is free, but you can pay $4.99 per year to have the ads turned off. You can pick up the update directly from UberSocial or wait for it to go up on App World.

Sideload FCEUXpb to Play Nintendo NES Games on your BlackBerry PlayBook

Posted: 11 Jan 2012 05:15 AM PST

FCEUX 

The POSIX compliant native SDK on the PlayBook keeps on spurring up some great apps. The latest is a porting of FCEUX in what he calls FCEUXPB which brings the classic Nintendo NES games to the BlackBerry PlayBook. Since RIM obviously will not be allowing this app in App World you have to sideload it but it works like a charm.


Desktop Video Link | Mobile Video Link

Kudos to Trevor Nunes aka FroggyFace for working on the port. You can read more about it on CrackBerry Forums or GitHub along with a nice set of instructions from OSBB.
