RIM Giving Away BlackBerry PlayBooks to DevCon Attendees!

Posted: 03 Oct 2011 01:32 AM PDT

RIM shocked everybody at BlackBerry World by giving all 6,000+ attendees a free BlackBerry PlayBook. It looks like they are making it official with BlackBerry DevCon 2011 this year in San Francisco. Josep pointed out that RIM has updated the special offers page on the BlackBerry DevCon website to point out that:

Attendees at the conference will receive a 16GB BlackBerry PlayBook tablet to help kick start the development of their next app! Register now so you don’t miss out on this opportunity.
This BlackBerry PlayBook tablet offer is open to those who have registered, paid in full and checked-in onsite at BlackBerry DevCon Americas 2011 in San Francisco. This offer will not be available for companion pass holders, event staff, or Research In Motion® (RIM®) employees.

Check out the full details on RIM's website. Here is to hoping these devices are preloaded or immediately provisioned with OS 2.0.

Fruits and Ninja Free Now Available for PlayBook!

Posted: 02 Oct 2011 12:55 PM PDT

I just discovered this free Fruit Ninja clone called Fruits and Ninja Free by Solver Labs. Its available for PlayBook right now in App World. After playing it a few times, its not a bad attempt at the original that I’ve played on my brother’s Galaxy S. The slicing is not quite as smooth and its a little bit off sometimes, but the graphics are nice and hey, the price is right!

Check it out on your PlayBook on App World. For some reason, I’m not seeing the free version when I go to App World on my computer, but its definitely available for free on your PlayBook…at least for now. Go get it before they decide to remove the free version! Keep reading for more screenshots.

The only difference I can see between the free and paid version is a little dialog that pops up when your game is over as shown below. There is a 3 second countdown until you can tap cancel. Not a big deal for me, but for those who find it annoying, you can throw down the $0.99 for the full version.
