| Pader Sync Brings Their Mobile FTP Client to the PlayBook Posted: 02 Mar 2012 02:40 PM PST
Pader Sync has had a BlackBerry smartphone FTP and SSH client for awhile now but they have recently taken a stab at the PlayBook. Their latest offering is Mobile FTP which obviously allows you to connect to remote FTP servers including ones with SSL/TLS, Zlib compression, and other features. It also has some cool features like password protected access to the app and automated one way file sync.

| HTML5Rocks.com Developers Resource Site Gets Redesigned Posted: 02 Mar 2012 12:56 PM PST
The popular HTML5Rocks website got a nice update in the last few days that gave it a huge visual overhaul. The new site is still an awesome resource for web developers who want to learn more about the power of HTML5. Google is a big contributor to the site though they have published tutorials from many other contributors. You will find great content on bleeding edge topics like WebGL which RIM just added to the PlayBook and is the first tablet to support the technology.

| RIM Looking to Fill 600 Positions in Waterloo Ont. with BlackBerry Job Fair Posted: 02 Mar 2012 09:51 AM PST RIM did a drastic cut of their workforce by 2,000 employees a bit back but they are still growing. They just held a job fair in Toronto with the intent to fill 600 positions in Waterloo, Ont. with some openings also in Mississauga, Ont. RIM also has had a bunch more stops in their recruitment push with job fairs in Halifax and Dallas, Texas. CBC Canada got a hold of a few of the job applicants at the Toronto fair to get a feeling of what they are thinking. Most of these new positions are in "software development and testing, hardware engineering and technical support" so hopefully RIM is prepping for a huge BlackBerry 10 phone launch.

| More Than Words: Fightin’ Words (Freemium) Gets Chat and a Facelift Posted: 02 Mar 2012 08:02 AM PST
Fightin’ Words, everybody’s favorite Words With Friends clone on the BlackBerry platform, has been given a welcome update. Version 1.30.4 brings with it updated graphics, improved rendering on 7.0/7.1 devices, and adds a new in-game Chat feature. Simply press the SYM key on your keyboard, or hit the Menu key and choose Chat. Both players must have Chat enabled for this feature to work.
My experience with FW thus far has been sketchy, but still a lot of fun. I kept it despite the frequent connection issues, slow performance, and improper rendering on my 9900. In the previous version,my tiles were mis-aligned along the bottom, and the point values were almost impossible to read. In addition, the game seemed to perform very slowly when not on wifi, taking a long time to check words, and losing connection frequently. The new update has happily resolved all of these issues. Response time via mobile data is quick, the updated graphics look much more polished and bright, and the board now has 3 levels of zoom and bigger tiles, making it nice and easy to read. I daresay I may just have to pay for the ad-free premium version of Fightin’ Words. Much thanks to InterWorks, Inc for bringing this wordplay amongst companions to the BlackBerry platform and keeping up with it! Personal Rating: 4.5 Berries out of 5 (When do we get full touchscreen support for the Bold, folks? Download Fightin’ Words Free from BlackBerry AppWorld.

| RIM Awarded Patent for Pattern Tap to Unlock Posted: 02 Mar 2012 07:11 AM PST RIM was just awarded a patent for their "System and method for locking and unlocking access to an electronic device" that they applied for back in 2006. Engadget spotted the fact that the patent was just approved this week. The patent describes users tapping a pattern on a device to unlock or lock the device or allow access to a specific application. The patent takes things a step further by having you tap in a pattern and also take into account accelerometer data along with how hard of a tap you make so others watching you cannot easily see the combination. Check out the full patent for yourself here. Personally I love the current unlock method on the BlackBerry PlayBook where you just swipe from one bezel to another. On the other hand it is not the most secure and still requires a password if you have one set… If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

| Free Vibrate on Call Connect is a Must Have Utility Posted: 02 Mar 2012 07:01 AM PST
I cannot count how many times I have had to look at my BlackBerry to see if a call went through or silently failed. I used to use an app that beeped when the call connected but Thomas let me know about a free Vibrate on Call Connect app from AFBB. This tiny utility performs one function and does it very well. You now no longer need to keep on looking at your phone to see if a call is connected or still dialing. You can download Vibrate on Call Connect free in App World. This is one of those features that I wish RIM simply baked into the OS… If you liked this article, you might find these interesting:

| ToySoft Call Note App Gets Total Rewrite and Contacts App Integration Posted: 02 Mar 2012 05:56 AM PST
ToySoft let us know that they have updated their extremely useful Call Note app with a totally rewritten version. This new version targets OS 6.0+ device and adds loads of improvements. In case you have not used it before Call Notes simply prompts you after a call for a task every time. That means if you hang up with a potential client you can make an appointment to call again with one click or log notes about the call. One of the coolest new features is that it logs your notes in Journal format under the contact in the Contacts app which is synched with Outlook.
Here is the change log for the latest version of Call Note:
