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!”
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

I kept changing the title of this post to say “Photo Studio PRO & FREE version updated to bring some awesome new features, or “Photo Studio..” but it was too long. And the bottom line is I love the new Photo Studio: PicFrames addition! Upon other improvements.
Photo Studio (FREE version) is the #3 Top Rated application in BlackBerry App World. It’s pretty clear as to why this is after spending just a few days with it. The app is compatible with BlackBerry OS 5.0, 6.0 & 7.x devices.

° BBM Connected! Share your photo directly from Photo Studio
° Base photo operations: brightness, contrast, RGB color adjustment, hue, saturation and many more

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.)
I have no idea how the PlayBook has gone this far without a stellar marble meets wooden labyrinth games to showcase the awesome power under the hood. Well glad to say the wait is finally over! Plunk! by OMG! Brews Games is easily the most eye catching and addictive marble labyrinth game I’ve played, Ever!
In keeping with the simple idea of a real wooden labyrinth style box OMG! Brews Games takes it a step deeper giving you stunning marbles over Pine, Camatillo, Rosewood, Kingwood and Mahogany. Each contains 9 levels with increasing difficulty.
It was one of the 1st games I downloaded when I unboxed my first PlayBook. One of the best puzzle games on any BlackBerry device.. I am of course talking about Doodle Blast by FlexibleAIR! They’ve updated to v2.0.5 adding 30 new levels as an in-purchase add-on for just $0.99!
Doodle Blast for BlackBerry PlayBook now boasts a 4 & 1/2 out of 5 star average review from nearly 800 users. A FREE title alone but now they’re offering some fresh new levels for just $0.99. Hard to turn your nose to that!
If you haven’t used Photo Studio or Photo Studio PRO yet, today would be a perfect time to pick it up. BerryBlowApps aka KVADGroup (via BlackBerry App World) has a nice selection of apps/games available, but this one is their best!
The recent updates to Photo Studio PRO brought a lot of sweet treats just in time for the holidays! For example: BBM Connected capabilities, full BB OS 7.0 support (including 7.1) & my favorite is the New Effects Packs and Christmas Frames! 4 packs available for FREE within the PRO version!

° BBM Connected! Share your photo directly from Photo Studio
° Base photo operations: brightness, contrast, RGB color adjustment, hue, saturation and many more
