Just got an email from Ninja Otter, you’ll remember them from their popular Talking Alarm Clock app Wakeful here. Well now they’ve built a pretty darn clever app called Compilr for BlackBerry PlayBook that enables devs to write code directly from the PlayBook itself!
Patrick says, “the idea behind the app is to remove all hassles around development.” “And the easiest way to do that is to push the experience to the web, removing almost all friction for the developers!”
The PlayBook is becoming a lot more popular. RIM is offering & supporting great tools to Android, iPhone and of course their own developers everyday. It can be intimidating to sift through all the new apps and games in BlackBerry App World. But one didn’t get by me recently.. KAMI RETRO by Paw Print Games Ltd.
KAMI RETRO is compatible for BlackBerry PlayBook tablets 1.x OS & up. The game was originally built for the iPhone though performance is awesome on my tablet running the OS 2.0 beta.
No this is not another instant messaging service. Ekboo – Crypto Chat is much more clever than that in my opinion. Ekboo is all about data confidentiality. The application communicates using encrypted messages with RSA asymmetric key algorithm.
Sounds a little confusing, I know. But the idea is pretty slick. Especially if you prefer to keep your BBM’s private. Maybe your working on a Startup, or plain don’t like the idea of the people in your office, home reading your BBM messages.
Features
° Communicate using encrypted messages with RSA asymmetric key algorithm
° Exchange of keys on the fly
° Notifications, in a transparent manner to the user, communicates the receipt and reading of every message sent to the recipient even in case of temporary unread messages
° Textbomb
° Remote Clear Chat
° Panic Button
° Pin Lock Chat

If your running BlackBerry 7.0 you’ve probably heard of an app called LensBoost by mblware. It’s an awesome pic-filter app built using HTML5, CSS3, and BlackBerry WebWorks. It’s an incredible product!
Well for a very limited time users on BlackBerry 7.0 devices can get a chance to beta test the latest full version of LensBoost! That’s an awesome treat if you ask me. From the @LensBoost Twitter account, they posted a tweet letting users know they could take a crack at this *new and improved version of the app. It’s much faster, pictures are richer and the overall experience is unforgettable.

EmacBerry slipped out another rich update to one of the best BlackBerry apps today. v2.8.0.1 is now live or rolling out for FileScout, FileScoutLite & the Trial Version for those who purchased elsewhere originally like MobiHand stores like ours.
Changed or Updated:
° FileScout & FileScoutLite ZIP-file handing have been re-written
° With the new v2.8.0.1 build there should be no limitation concerning the file size of ZIP-Archives that you could browse or de-compress with FileScout (or FileScoutLite)
° When you unzip a large (e.g. 100MB+) archive, please have in mind that you still hold a mobile device in your hands (and not a PC or Mac equipped with a SSD). Most of the time that is required (to process an ZIP-Archive) will be needed for the actual reading (of the compressed stream) and the writing (of the de-compressed data)
° The new build will also report almost instantly, if an archive can’t be read by the application (probably cause it is corrupted/broken)
° Please note that even if most of the ZIP code have been rewritten FileScout is still not able to read password protected archives – sorry
Go check out this and all previous Changelogs of FileScout here: http://www.emacberry.com/bbfs/bbfilescout_04log.html.
FileScoutLite users can update via device here!
FileScout Pro & Trial users can update via device here!

After becoming the most popular place to hang out since the back of the bleachers, GetGlue has become a daily stop for some, or an obsession for others. Check-in to movies, tv-shows, BlackBerry, Berryfication and much more! Unfortunately they haven’t evolved with BlackBerry 7 nor Tablet 1.0-2.0. So a great secondary option I use, is their mobile site!
The latest mobile site update v1.2.1.6 actually fixed a ton of annoying bugs that were just lingering around. It only took about 2 months, but they finally spent some time to fix them. And m.getglue.com runs great with both the trackpad/touchscreen on OS7 Torch & Bold devices (the only I’ve tested it on.)
