| Files & Folders v3.0 Adds Box.net Integration for the PlayBook Posted: 17 Nov 2011 12:55 AM PST The solid file manager, Files & Folders, for the BlackBerry PlayBook just got a nice update to v3.0. This new update gives it the ability to integrate with the Box.net cloud file service. While Box.net has their own PlayBook app, Files & Folders offers so much more. That includes DropBox, Google Docs, and zip file access. They have also added the ability to select multiple files and folders at the same time in v3.0. Files & Folders is one of the main contenders for a file manager for the PlayBook. You can pick up the latest v3.0 of Files & Folders for $2.99 in App World with a free trial available. More info is available on their website www.webbsites.nl. If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

| Rumor: BlackBerry App World 3.1 Coming Soon with “App Gifting” Feature Posted: 16 Nov 2011 02:47 PM PST
I have always been pushing RIM to drive App World improvements at a faster pace. Right now they have been on a 6-9 month release cycle even for small features and that needs to be sped up. Bla1ze over @CrackBerry got word that an update to App World bringing v3.1 is coming soon and being tested internally at RIM. It supposedly allows you to gift apps (aka purchase them for others) through App World. It also supposedly offers full Wi-Fi support to work even without a cellular connection. These are nice features but there are Major Features that I feel App World needs to implement yesterday:

| Black Friday PlayBook Prices Confirmed? PlayBook This Season’s Kindle Fire Killer? Posted: 16 Nov 2011 01:30 PM PST I was walking through my local Staples today and spent a few minutes playing with the demo unit for Amazon’s new Kindle Fire. Within a few minutes, a Staples employee came over and whispered that I should consider the BlackBerry PlayBook if I was looking for more of a “tablet” and less of a “reader.” I gave him an interested look and he followed up by telling me that the PlayBook would be the same price as the Kindle Fire on Black Friday. That would make the baseline PlayBook $199.99, a price that jives with what we previously reported here. Is a $199.99 PlayBook this season’s Kindle Fire killer?

| International BBM Hackathons in Bangkok, Amsterdam, & London This Month Posted: 16 Nov 2011 08:59 AM PST Back in September we told you about a bunch of the upcoming BBM Hackathons for developers. Then we did not have the dates and details on the international events and it turns out there are three this month starting tomorrow! Planning very far in advance, Luke just posted the dates on RIM's developers blog:
My guess is it might be a bit too late to sign up for tomorrow in Bangkok but you may want to try out Amsterdam and London if they are local. Check out the details at bbmappshackathon.com. If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

| Magmic Possibly Making Headway with Themes on BlackBerry 7 Devices Posted: 16 Nov 2011 08:41 AM PST
Obviously take this with a grain of salt but the veteran theme developers at Magmic seem to be getting a little closer to possibly getting themes on BlackBerry 7. In case you don't know RIM has not yet shipped a Theme Builder for BlackBerry 7 claiming the theme system was broken by the Liquid Graphics engine in BlackBerry 7. They said they do have an internal theme builder but nothing for external devs until mid-2012. That has not stopped Magmic product manager @PeterMacPhoto from trying. He let us know that they have managed to get some parts of themes loaded on BlackBerry 7. On the other hand it is not an easy process and has some caveats and limitations in their workaround. Still he said they are "close to getting some full themes together" which is promising! If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

| Crazy Lizard “Frogger-Like” Game for BlackBerry Smartphones Posted: 16 Nov 2011 06:02 AM PST
Karmic Apps just released a fun game for BlackBerrys called Crazy Lizard in both a free and premium version. The game is essentially a clone of the classic Frogger game and plays nicely on most BlackBerrys. There are multiple difficulty levels for every type of player and you will definitely have some fun playing even without the arcade-nostalgia factor. They just need to work a little on the controls hopefully in a future update. You can pick up Crazy Lizard for $0.99 in App World or the Free Crazy Lizard Lite also in App World If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:
