Many of you may have noticed by now that I have a thing for word games. My latest go to game on my PlayBook is Word Drop by Adam Jones Productions. This game was originally a flash game and now brings both the first and second version of the game to the PlayBook. I picked it up over a month ago and finally got around to playing it and I am really liking it.

Similar to other word games you need to form words with tiles on the board with letters falling in to place based on what you clear. You obviously get more points for longer words while you beat the clock. Available for $1.99 in App World, Word Drop is an easy game to recommend for word game lovers. Check it out and let us know what you think!

Their ADOView app lets you view InDesign and InCopy documents on your PlayBook along with viewing assets and details about the files. Right now the app is only compatible with InDesign CS5 so just make sure to be using the latest version.

App World Now Accepting BlackBerry 9810, 9850, & 9360 OS 7 Apps

Posted: 22 Jul 2011 09:20 AM PDT

App World of Possibilities

RIM has yet to even formally announce the BlackBerry Torch 9810, 9850 and Curve 9360 but that has not stopped them talking about their existence. They first told us to expect the additional screen resolutions for the devices. Now we have them emailing all developers that App World is now accepting submissions for BlackBerry 7 apps for the BlackBerry 9810, 9850, & 9360.

Here is the email they are sending out:


Dear BlackBerry App World Vendor,

We are pleased to inform you that BlackBerry App World is now accepting app submissions for additional BlackBerry smartphones. In addition to the BlackBerry 9900 and 9930, you can now submit your BlackBerry 7 application(s) to App World for the 9810, 9850 and 9360.

If you have not already started testing and updating your current applications for the new BlackBerry 7 smartphones, do so right away to ensure your apps are available at launch. To help you with testing, we have made available the following tools and information:

BlackBerry 7 SDK BETA

BlackBerry 7 smartphone simulators

BlackBerry 7 Porting Guide

Remember you will need to re-post your application in App World for BlackBerry 7 as current applications will not be automatically posted for sale for the new smartphones. In addition, while BlackBerry 7 retains binary compatibility with the BlackBerry 6 platform, it will support a variety of new screen resolutions and sizes that will require some developers to update and re-compile their existing applications.

If you have updated your application(s) to BlackBerry 7 submit it today!

It is important that you submit your application(s) as soon as possible to ensure they can be tested and approved, and posted for sale in App World in time for launch.

Again, thank you for your continued support and we look forward to seeing your application(s) in App World.

Best Regards,

BlackBerry App World Marketing

RIM Welcomes JayCut to The RIM Family

Posted: 22 Jul 2011 07:39 AM PDT

Thought RIM was done adding companies to their list of acquisitions? Well looks like they are not done acquiring talent. Today they announced on their BlackBerry blog that the team from JayCut just has just joined RIM.

I never heard of them before but RIM had this to say on their blog:

“Today we are pleased to announce that JayCut has joined Research In Motion (RIM). We're excited that the JayCut team is bringing their expertise in video editing and cloud-based services to the BlackBerry platform.

JayCut is based out of Sweden and operates a premier online video editor that they have licensed to a variety of companies and websites.

The BlackBerry PlayBook offers users premium multimedia features, including dual HD cameras for video capture and video conferencing, HDMI output and high resolution video playback. By working with JayCut to add video editing capabilities to the BlackBerry platform we can further enrich our customers' multimedia experience with BlackBerry.

Looks like RIM is finally going to offer competitive media capability to the BlackBerry platform.

We welcome this move from RIM and JayCut.

RIM Issues Official Statement on Leaked Android App Player

Posted: 22 Jul 2011 06:43 AM PDT

Yesterday we saw a really early version of the Android App player for the BlackBerry PlayBook which quickly spread throughout the net. The application is a really early built but surprisingly some people have manage to get some android apps working on it.

This prompted RIM to issue the following statement:

“An older version of the Android App Player beta software for the BlackBerry PlayBook was inadvertently posted and has since been removed. We recommend that users refrain from downloading and installing this software since it is outdated and non-functional in many respects. The official beta release of the Android App Player for the BlackBerry PlayBook is on track for release later this summer.”

We do agree that if you do not have an idea of what you are doing to wait until the official release. If you do, it is at your own risk of crashing your device.

That aside this app proves how powerful the QNX OS is.
