Play 200 Chess Puzzles with Chess from SolverLabs (Smartphone & PlayBook) Posted: 28 Dec 2011 02:40 PM PST
Donald pointed out a fun chess game from SolverLabs simple called Chess in App World. The game offers up regular Chess play with two player mode locally on your device. The best part is that there are 200 chess puzzles available in the game for you to solve with differing levels of difficulty.
The best part? Chess only costs $0.99 in App World. If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

Retro MissileRush Game for the BlackBerry PlayBook Posted: 28 Dec 2011 12:45 PM PST I have been enjoying some fun retro gaming on my PlayBook with some fun titles recently. The latest is MissileRush that pits you up in a retro missile attack sort of game. The enemies and asteroids must be destroyed before they fall down on your bases and break up your fun. I was hoping for some more quirky fun or story line but the gameplay is solid. You simply tap the direction you want to launch missiles at the bad guys while avoiding them destroying your base. You can find MissileRush in App World for an inexpensive $0.99. You can also play a version of the game online on Armor Games website. If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

Posted: 28 Dec 2011 10:45 AM PST Winter has arrived full force and with it, the variety of gloves and mittens to keep those hands warm. One company I have discovered, Freehands, carries several kinds of gloves that allow for usage of touch phones and tablets. They offer different materials, such as basic wool and even leather, for both men and women. I had the opportunity to review an attractive and colorful wool glove with removable forefinger and thumb caps and another pair of basic black unisex gloves with conductive tips on all fingers. Power Stretch 5-Finger Liner The gloves have silver plated polyamide tips on all fingers for the purpose of using your chosen device without freezing your hands. The tips of each finger are sewn squarely, instead of the usual rounded, making the tops a bit too big for my own fingers. When I tried to use my tablet, repeated touches to the screen did nothing, unless I pulled the glove tightly around one or two fingers. Those attempts were significantly more successful, although I still had to use some extra force against the touchscreen. Keeping the tip pulled back and tight-fitted around my finger also helped type the small letters on my phone. The gloves are lightweight and relatively thin, made from Polartec material which is designed to keep your hands insulated, but dry. A patterned silicon layer on the palm side aids your grip They are comfortable to wear and have maximum flexibility. Freehands.com states that these gloves sold out last year and I can see why. Even though I have to work a bit harder to successfully use my device with the fingertips, I was still able to do what I needed to do and not have to take off my gloves.
Hearts and Stripes, Womens Gloves You are outside in the freezing weather and receive a text message from your friend running late. Luckily, your holiday present were these very cool Freehands gloves that you are trying out for the first time. You just pop the tops, type the quick text back and recover your warmth in seconds when you pull the tops back on. These wool gloves are fun and attractive for the female crowd, like me. They do come in other colors and patterns as well. They are very useful and well thought-out. As you use your selected device outside in the cold, you do not constantly pushing back the covers from getting in the way as you type. The covers attach to the back of your finger with magnets! The magnets are thin and sewn inside. You can barely see them. The amount of finger and thumb that are forced to be out in the cold is as minimal as necessary and the little covers can quickly jump back into place when you are done.
I would definitely switch out my plain black leather gloves for the colorful, finger pop-top gloves during this winter season. The Power Stretch gloves are just as useful, but not quite as attractive for a fashionista like me. My husband gets to use them You can find quite a few FreeHand Gloves options at Amazon or directly at www.freehands.com If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

Argentina Temporarily Bans BlackBerry & iPhone Sales to Help Economy Posted: 28 Dec 2011 08:15 AM PST
This is one of those news bits that just makes me think there is more to the story. Manuals.ws (via Electronista) is reporting that the Argentinean government has banned the sale of foreign made BlackBerrys and Apple iPhones to spur local development. This was a surprise decision taken to reduce inflation and strengthen the currency. In order to be allowed to continue selling devices in Argentina companies will have to build plants in the country which Nokia, Samsung, Motorola, & LG already have. Supposedly RIM is already looking for a partner to build devices in Argentina but Apple is just holding by. Anybody else wondering if there is something else going on? Or is this just a protectionism play to get RIM to invest back in the country? If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:
