Bloom Defender Tower Defense Game for the PlayBook

Posted: 25 Apr 2012 02:42 PM PDT

Bloom Defender2 Bloom Defender

I truly enjoy playing tower defense style games which is why I had to try Bloom Defender. The game is quite entertaining on my PlayBook where you try to setup a defense of trees to protect the mother tree from elemental spirits. There are 36 levels to bust through and multiple different baddies and spells your protective trees can cast. It does not seem to have the performance of a native game but that does not seem to really hamper the gameplay.

Check out Bloom Defender for $1.99 in App World

AMC Releases Very Simple Mad Men Job Interview App for PlayBook

Posted: 25 Apr 2012 11:22 AM PDT

Mad Men Job Interview

Its nice to see AMC releasing apps for the PlayBook at the same time as their Android and Kindle counterparts but it does make me wish they would try harder. Donny from RIM pointed out that AMC has posted up their Mad Men Job Interview app for the PlayBook along with other devices. The interview is really just 7 questions and based on your answer they tell you what role you would have in the show. You don't even need the app to take the quiz since it is available in Flash on their website. Here is how AMC describes the cross platform launch on their blog:

With new copywriter Michael Ginsberg and Don’s new secretary Dawn joining the SCDP staff, it seems Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce is hiring once again. Want to apply for a (virtual) job yourself? You can now do so now for free via Mad Men‘s Job Interview app on your smartphone or tablet.

You’ll be interviewed by everyone from Peggy to Lane to Don as your future bosses look to learn whether you’ve got what it takes to be the next copywriter, the next graphic artist or even the next senior partner. Download the FREE App now on your Android, Kindle Fire or Blackberry PlayBook.

Check out the Mad Men Job Interview app free in App World. Now I just need Hulu on the PlayBook to stream it!

Remote Spark Ports VNC & Remote Desktop RDP Apps to PlayBook (Android)

Posted: 25 Apr 2012 11:05 AM PDT

VNC Pro Enterprise RDP

Do you remember how hard it was to find an RDP (Remote Desktop) or VNC client when the PlayBook first came out? Now there are multiple options in App World with the latest coming from Remote Spark. They have ported their very popular Remote RDP Enterprise and Remove VNC Pro Android apps to the PlayBook Android Player. Personally I hope they realize the demand and develop native versions of the apps.

Check them out here:

PlayStation Emulator Ported to the PlayBook (PCSX-ReARMed-PB)

Posted: 25 Apr 2012 09:04 AM PDT

 PSX Emulator

I have to give a big shout out to Catalystg for releasing a Playstation emulator for the BlackBerry PlayBook. The PCSX-ReARMed-PB lets you play (legal!) Playstation v1 games on your PlayBook. There are a few incompatibilities that users are running into but Catalystg has a great thread going on CrackBerry forums about the release. They actually used RIM's TouchControlOverlay port to create the controls interface for the emulator.

Check out all the instructions here (not for the faint of heart) and you can download the emulator zipped from GitHub. Credit also goes to Notaz for providing the original emulator and assisting with the port and Jtokarchuk for his assistance. Kudos to UrbanGlowCam for the screenshot.

Have a Cute Monkey Mimic You With Talking Monkey

Posted: 25 Apr 2012 08:55 AM PDT

Talking Monkey

The team at MMMOOO has decided to take on the cute animal meme with Talking Monkey. It reminds me of the Talking Tom app that took a life of its own on iOS. Now Talking monkey lets you have him repeat anything you say from his 3D animated monkey body. You need to download the animations once you pick up the app and will make you laugh if you enjoy cute things. Just hit the microphone button on the bottom right and then press again when you are done to have him mimic you.

BlackBerry Beta Zone Redesigned & New Business Beta Zone Launches

Posted: 25 Apr 2012 07:02 AM PDT

 Beta Zone Sign Up Beta Zone Sign Up2

RIM has been gathering feedback for awhile now on how to improve the BlackBerry Beta Zone and they have now executed. They have redesigned it along with improving things like the mobile experience and a more user friendly interface. They have also launched the new clearly separated Business Beta section of the Beta Zone which they explain here. It thankfully uses the same credentials but separates the two.

The new Beta Zone improvements include:

  • A more user friendly interface – We've redesigned the site from top to bottom. It's more engaging to use, has more interactive elements, and offers a more intuitive user experience to make sure you can find what you're looking for quickly and easily.
  • A clearer division between Business and Consumer beta programs – We've also now separated BlackBerry Beta Zone into two distinct sites: BlackBerry Beta Zone and BlackBerry Beta Zone for Business. BlackBerry Beta Zone for Business now has its own dedicated URL so users can more easily access enterprise programs, while consumers only see content and programs that are of interest to them.
  • More opportunities to get involved – We know BlackBerry Beta Zone members have a lot to say, so we've added a blog-style newsfeed to provide the latest site news and allow you to comment and share in the conversation. We'll also be posting more frequent polls and surveys, ensuring that there are more opportunities than ever to get your feedback.
  • Improved mobile experience – BlackBerry beta testers are always on the move, so we've optimized our mobile site to make it easier to provide your feedback on the go. We've revised the mobile layout, simplified the download process, and added access to a number of new features – all to improve your mobile beta testing experience.

Check out the new design at www.blackberry.com/beta!

iMazing Adds SMS & Color Label Support to its Notification System

Posted: 25 Apr 2012 06:02 AM PDT

 

iMazing iMazing2

Matthias Marquart has pushed the envelope a bit further with iMazing this week. We mentioned iMazing when it launched as a utility that let you easily handle incoming messages by simply swiping. I love the app because some of its features were developed when I asked for them so I am a bit biased. Now Matthias has also added in basic SMS support to iMazing. The issue with SMS support is that due to BlackBerry API limitations it is not possible for developers to delete, mark as save, or mark as read a SMS message. For now you can read and dismiss them.

Also added in the latest iMazing v1.4.2.2 from the change log:

  • Added additional customizable actions for swipe left, swipe right and double tap:
    • Reply
    • Forward
  • SMS-Support (OFF by default – need to be enabled in the Options)
    Unfortunately cause of API-limitations there is no support for some core functionality of iMazing for SMS Messages – for example DELETE, ‘MARK as SAVE‘ or ‘MARK AS READ‘ can’t be supported cause of the restrictions of the APIs available to 3′rd party developers.
    So please don’t expect too much from the SMS-Integration of iMazing there are not much available options and functions.
  • Configure for each of your eMail accounts an additional color code that will be displayed in front of the message in the popup list – you can select from ten different color squares: none, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, White, Aqua, Violet or Pink
  • Added new Option ‘No Popup in Clock/Bedside Mode’
    Enabling this option will disable the iMazing popup while the clock is active. Use this option when you do not like to see any incoming messages while in bedside mode.
  • Added new Option ‘Turn LED off on Close’
    Select if iMazing should automatically turn off the LED when the popup list window will be closed.
  • Switched default actions for Swipe-Right and Double-tap (just effecting new users)

What’s Fixed

  • ‘Enable Backlight on new eMail’ should not unlock your device any longer.

Pick up the latest version of iMazing in App World. It has a free trial that shows you one message at a time and you can upgrade to the full version through in app purchase.
