| Dev Explains Why Marmalade SDK is Great for Cross Platform Games & Apps Posted: 16 Sep 2011 12:52 PM PDT I have been really loving the Marmalade SDK since it was released with beta support for the BlackBerry PlayBook. To me it really is a sign of what is to come with the other engines RIM is bringing to the PlayBook including the Unity game engine and Android/Java Players. DrMop of VisualDreams does a great job on his blog explaining why developers should use the Marmalade SDK for cross platform app development. Here is a bulleted rundown of why: By choosing to develop your products across multiple platforms:
And by choosing the Marmalade SDK you also get:

| BellShare Starts UserVoice Forum for User Feedback – All Devs Should Do This! Posted: 16 Sep 2011 10:55 AM PDT Jack let us know that BellShare has launched a new feedback and feature voting tool powered by UserVoice. This lets users make suggestions and feature requests for BellShare's apps. I am a huge fan of their BerryReader app and this is our chance to make it better. UserVoice lets anybody post feedback or suggestions for BellShare's BerryReader, BerryPopup, BerryWeather, BeBuzz, and SmartAlerts. Just head on over to www.bellshare.com/feedback. Personally I think all devs should have a way for customers to suggest features like this and vote on them. It would be really cool if RIM could add that kind of social flexibility to App World… Sometimes forums and App World "reviews" are just not the right place for it.

| Profile Assist Changes Your Settings Based on Location, Time, or Battery Level Posted: 16 Sep 2011 07:05 AM PDT
I am always on the hunt for a better app to automatically manage my BlackBerry settings and radios based on my location or time. The latest I have spotted in Profile Assist by Craig T. The app lets you easily set events based on your customizable triggers on location, time of day, or battery life level. That lets you change your ringer profile, Bluetooth settings, Wi-Fi, wallpaper, and GPS settings based on those triggers.
The best part is that Profile Assist is selling for a very reasonable $0.99 in App World. The main downside I see so far is that it looks like the app uses GPS instead of cell phone tower triangulation for location events but hopefully they will update that. There is also a platform limitation that cannot change your profile or Bluetooth settings while holstered but the app will vibrate and change the settings as soon as you unholster or unlock your phone. Let us know what you think of the app if you give it a spin! If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

| BlackBerry Bold 9980 R47 Caught Fraternizing with a Bold 9900 Posted: 16 Sep 2011 06:29 AM PDT
The odd BlackBerry Bold 9980 R47 concept phone has reared its head again in China. It now has a photoshoot next to a T-Mobile BlackBerry Bold 9900 for comparison. Nothing really new here but you can now see how similar or different the devices look. Let us know if you spot anything!

| RIM Confirms BlackBerry PlayBook Premium Charger Charges Phones 2X Faster! Posted: 16 Sep 2011 05:55 AM PDT
There has been a bit of confusion about using the BlackBerry PlayBook Premium charger and charging BlackBerry smartphones. Kevin @CrackBerry speculated a few months back that the Premium Charger that ships with the Playbook charges phones faster but RIM was mum on the subject and we speculated on our own. Now RIM has confirmed on their Shop BlackBerry store that:
From what I have been able to tell by using the BlackBerry Engineering Screen the PlayBook Premium charger pumps ~1250mAh charge into my BlackBerry Bold 9930 and BlackBerry Torch 9800. That is compared to 750mAh from the new standard BlackBerry Charger Plug that RIM ships with new phones. It is also higher than the 700mAh that the older model Folding Blade Travel Charger pushed out. The PlayBook Premium Charger on the other hand seems to be able to push 1800mAh though from what I can tell my phone is only reporting 1250mAh so it could be the numbers are a little less than two times the regular charger. Still its nice to see RIM come out and confirm that the PlayBook Premium Charger is "designed to work with your BlackBerry smartphone" instead of just happening to work. This means that RIM has probably tested it with the smartphone capacitors to make sure you are not frying the charging circuitry. PS: I am still trying to figure out what the story is with the BlackBerry PlayBook Rapid Charger. For a rapid charger it seems to only be pushing out 2000mAh which is not much higher than the Premium chargers 1800mAh. I am not an electrical engineer by any count but let us know if you figure it out! If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:
