| Help Tiny Bird Avoid The Volcano On Your BlackBerry Posted: 31 Jul 2012 02:23 AM PDT
Tiny Bird from SolverLabs is hanging on the coat tails of the success of Tiny Wings on other platforms and similar games from back in the day. The game is available for the PlayBook and BlackBerry smartphones and has you sliding down hills to escape the scary storms. I am sure you have played similar games in the past but this one actually runs nicely on my 9900 and has some fun gameplay dynamics. Zach @CrackBerry also noticed that the latest update includes BBM integration for sharing your achievements which is a nice touch. Tiny Bird is available in a free trial which limits you to the first four levels. After that you can purchase the full version for a relatively inexpensive $0.99 in App World.

| Type On Your PlayBook From Your PC With PC Keyboard Posted: 30 Jul 2012 02:55 PM PDT
I am still trying to wrap my head around this one but Daniel Bigham's latest app has a different take on keyboards for the PlayBook. What it does is allow you to type up text using your PC's keyboard which is automatically transferred to the PC Keyboard app on your PlayBook when it is running. You can then copy it to your clipboard and paste it into another app. I am really hoping that some new SDKs allow Daniel to extend this to running even outside the app but it does work for now. Check out PC Keyboard for $0.99 in App World. If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

| RIM Rumored To Be Completing Layoffs Next Week Posted: 30 Jul 2012 12:48 PM PDT
The Cantech Letter is reporting that they are hearing from sources that RIM is planning on completing this round of layoffs next week. Supposedly RIM is going to let go of the remaining 3,000 employees from the previously announced 5,000 layoffs. Supposedly this final section of the layoffs will happen on August 13th since RIM wants to complete the layoffs before the end of their second quarter on August 31st. According to Cantech's source the RIM employees working on BlackBerry 10 are mostly safe along with those in enterprise sales. The areas seeing the biggest cuts are customer service, human resources, marketing, non-enterprise sales, and RIM's Global Repair Services. It will be really sad to see that many people no longer working at RIM but this will hopefully allow RIM to control costs with a headcount of 10,000 employees as they ramp up to their BlackBerry 10 launch. We will keep you up to date as this develops. If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

| Free Hebrew Bible for the BlackBerry PlayBook (Android) Posted: 30 Jul 2012 06:55 AM PDT
The PlayBook just got another benefit from its Android Player. I am not sure how many of you are interested in it due to it being in Hebrew but Ivri Applications has released the full Hebrew bible with a built in font. It lets you search across the whole bible from your PlayBook and actually works nicely. Check out the Hebrew Bible free in App World If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:
