Free Vibrate on Connect App from Ajani InfoTech Posted: 09 Mar 2012 01:47 AM PST
We told you about a Vibrate on Call Connect app last week but since then A4BB has started charging $0.99 for the previously free app. DanielH pointed out in the comments that there is an alternative free app called Vibrate on Connect by Ajani Infotech that performs the same function and is also OS 7.0 compatible. In case you missed the reason for these apps they notify you when it is ok to start talking since the call has connected instead of you saying "Hello" a few times and checking the screen. You can find Vibrate on Connect in App World free. Hopefully this one stays that way! If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

RIM Acquires Paratek Microwave Inc for RF Tuning Technologies Posted: 08 Mar 2012 11:22 AM PST
RIM just announced their acquisition of Paratek Microwave Inc today which is their latest in a string of acquisitions. I can only imagine what Paratek will do for RIM does give us a bit of a hint. Paratek is a leader in adaptive RF tuning technologies for multi-band (multiple frequency) devices. They have technology called ParaScan that is a thin material that can vary its capacity as the voltage changes to adapt to different bands. In other words think of phones that can support multiple frequency in a smaller package. RIM promises that Paratek will continue to focus on developing RF tuning technologies with support from RIM. Hopefully that means we are getting one step further to one BlackBerry that supports all 2G, 3G, and 4G networks without different models… I dream Check out RIM's announcement or more details on Paratek at www.paratek.com. Here is the announcement from Paratek's website:

New PlayBook Puzzler Runaway Trains Hits AppWorld Posted: 08 Mar 2012 09:55 AM PST Think you’re good at crisis management? Put it to the test with Runaway Trains. Eric at Ebscer, creator of the popular puzzle/strategy games Pixelated and Xploding Boxes, brings us another instant classic on the PlayBook. In Runaway Trains, the trains have run amuck, and it’s up to you to guide them safely back to the barn. As trains emerge from the black tunnel into the yard, you must route them to the correctly-colored depot by quickly switching the track’s configuration. A tap on a junction changes the route. Another tap changes it back. Simple, right? Did I mention that the trains move quickly? And they don’t stop? If you route a train to the wrong color depot, you lose. If two trains collide, you lose. If a train runs out of open track and derails, you lose. And you WILL lose. You will replay levels many, many times. Don’t feel bad, though. It’s tough. It will take a few tries to get the color pattern of the emerging trains down for each level, and further analysis of the track layout to figure out how to get which color where. Unlike Pixelated and Xploding Boxes, Runaway Trains runs in real-time. You can pause the game at any time with a downward swipe from the top bezel so you can examine the track, but when it comes down to it, execution and split-second timing are your friends. Take advantage of isolation loops to keep troubled trains out of your way while you clear the path home. Keep your wits about you and your fingers nimble, and you’ll be Chief Engineer in no time. Well, sometime. Well…heck, I won’t lie to ya. It’s gonna take awhile. If this game had a theme song, it’d be Ozzy Osbourne’s “Crazy Train”. But, hey! The best games challenge the mind and kill time, right? Runaway Trains delivers both. The first 25 levels are free, and $2.99 gets you up to Level 100, with promise of more twisted train wrecks just around the bend. Personal rating: 4.5 out 5 berries. Simple graphics keep the game small (only 317k!) and keeps performance high, but the PlayBook can handle much more. I’d love to see these games leverage the high-quality graphics available on the platform. Download Runaway Trains Free from AppWorld (25 levels free, $2.99 for full version, in-game purchase) If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

RIM Going Strong in South East Asia Posted: 08 Mar 2012 09:19 AM PST As mentioned by Ronen earlier, RIM’s plan for increasing their presence in SouthEast Asia seems to be kicking into place. From contests giving away awesome phones to sponsoring the filming of movies, RIM does seem to be on adrenaline rush right here. Here are some events that have happened and what is currently happening in Singapore, a sunny island in SouthEast Asia. For the month of February, RIM stepped up the ante by giving away two pairs of BlackBerry Bold 9900 and a pair of BlackBerry 9790. In addition, several boxes of customized BlackBerry chocolates were given away for Valentines Day competition. Apart from the Valentines Day goodies, RIM also announced their sponsorship for this local movie – TimeLess Love. Now, BlackBerry has teamed up the region together for a regional Skin design competition where you get to design your very own skin for submission and they are giving the winner from each country in the region a BlackBerry 9900 and plenty of goodies for the rest!
Note: Once we have news that the remaining regions have posted up news of their competition, we will update them here! If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

Updated: World Clock App for Your BlackBerry Smartphone Posted: 08 Mar 2012 08:49 AM PST Update: A few readers pointed out that the app is no longer free and costs $1.99. I am not sure when this change was made but AFBB is even more misleading since the app is still called World Clock Free. Over the years there have been quite a few world clock apps available for BlackBerry. The latest one I have been using is a Features include:
