| LocalBar App Installs BAR Files Directly from your BlackBerry PlayBook Posted: 07 Nov 2011 02:44 AM PST We are getting one step closer to being able to easily install PlayBook applications OTA just like current BlackBerry smartphone apps. Until now RIM has forced us to load apps only through App World or by using a convoluted sideloading method which requires a PC and quite a few steps. Now Yohan aka TinyHack has managed to bypass quite a few of those steps. He has released a small program called LocalBar that lets you sideload any BAR file for an application onto your PlayBook directly from your PlayBook. The only downside is that you need to first sideload the LocalBar application but after that you can use LocalBar to simply install any app from the device storage. That means you can download or transfer BAR files over Wi-Fi and then install them using LocalBar. In other words you get a sort of OTA download in two steps. Yohan was kind enough to provide some great instructions on how to use LocalBar along with a download link for LocalBar. Check it out at this link or below: First InstallYou need to sideload LocalBar using your PC/Mac. There are many guides on the Internet like this one or this one. Next time when the upgrade of this app is available, you can install the upgrade directly from PlayBook using this app. GuideYou MUST enable development mode before installing the apps (you should have done this step when you sideload LocalBar. You will need to grant some privileges to this app after first install. Here is the main screen after you grant the privileges. Swipe down from the top bezel to show the menu. Choose “Install”. It will show the list of bar files that you have. It will automatically scan all your documents folder (including downloads folder from the browser). Select a bar file, a confirmation dialog will appear. Click OK to confirm. A password dialog will appear. Just ignore the user field. This is the PlayBook standard login dialog, and I haven’t explored yet how to disable the username field. And you need to press the OK button (the “Return” key doesn’t work yet). After you fill in the password, it will start the installation. If everything is fine, then this dialog should appear. If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

| BlackBerry Bridge v1.0.7.4 Update Change Log Posted: 07 Nov 2011 02:19 AM PST This update came out on Thursday of last week but I just noticed that one of our tipsters sent us a change log for the update. Its nice to see RIM at least has a sort of informal change log for the update which is why I even bother mentioning it. The really odd part is that a BlackBerry PlayBook OS update has not come out with the update to the Bridge like it usually does… Here is the change log for BlackBerry Bridge 1.0.7.4:
Still sadly does not have a fix for Bridge on OS 2.0 beta… In case you don't already have it you can find the updated BlackBerry Bridge in App World here If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

| Verizon BlackBerry Curve 9370 World Phone Launching Nov 17th? Posted: 06 Nov 2011 04:34 PM PST A new leaked roadmap points to Verizon releasing the BlackBerry Curve 9370 on November 17th. We previously saw this device in a Verizon rebate form and now we actually have a rumored launch date. The Curve 9370 differs from the 9350/9360 models by having 1GB of storage instead of the 9350/9360's 512MB of storage. The 9370 is also a world phone which is a first for the Curve packing a Dual-Band: 800/1900 MHz CDMA/EVDO Rev A antenna with a Quad-Band: 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz GSM/GPRS/EDGE antenna. Who knows if Verizon will follow through on this November 17th but I am thinking this could be a big device for them. They do really well with these low end devices when companies are equipping fleets of their employees with new practical devices. via DroidLife via CrackBerry If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:
