Will Robertson of Many Notes fame is back with another clever application. And I’m loving it! Compose Mail for BlackBerry PlayBook is a FREE application that allows users to quickly compose an email using portrait or landscape and launch it right inside the 2.0 PIM Messages app.

Compose Mail is absolutely FREE with nothing else to buy or upgrade. The idea is similar to the native Compose app in BlackBerry smartphones.
Features:
° Compose email in Portrait or Landscape
° Integration with the native Messages App
° Automatic copy-to-clipboard
° Copy & Paste
° Launches faster than Messages
° Matches style of the 2.0 Messages, Contacts, and Calendar apps
Well first they teased us. Then we all assumed it would released by the following day.. no? ..Friday.. No.. How about a Tuesday, April the 24th for Angry Birds Space to hit the BlackBerry PlayBook? Okay that’s the day. Today we can finally enjoy some Space Birds.

Angry Birds Space is an awesome multiplatform game that needs no introduction. Rovio Entertainment has proven once again that they’re clearly having a blast making these games. If you don’t mind spending a few bucks on a game that will challenge you, make you laugh and make you think, then hit the link below and blast to space!

Taking a screenshot with your BlackBerry or PlayBook has become one of the most popular functions over the past few years. And one app has maintained an almost native name with BlackBerry smartphones. That name is Screen Muncher. But how is the app, and which version do I want?

There’s not just one or two versions of Screen Muncher in App World and sure there’s plenty of different applications that will get the job done. But there’s something about Muncher that attracts me..

Get ready to grip your PlayBook tight! PewPew 2 by Jean-François Geyelin is now available and it’s like dropping liquid adrenaline into your eyeballs. Fireworks of fun. An almost illegal addiction. I can’t put this game down.

PewPew 2 follows the also muliplatform first title PewPew which is still FREE & received an average of 4 and half stars from 800+ PlayBook users.
I don’t know how they do it but MMMOOO has made another great application offering both a FREE or Paid version. The app is Mega Smileys. It’s been available less than 2 weeks now and already 1,115 App World reviews have averaged 4 and a half stars.

Mega Smileys is exactly the type of application the title suggests. Only with a lot more content. After you download the FREE version, MMMOOO still offers the option to leave a review and get the full license unlocked. Not a bad deal.

° Unique Gif Avatar included
° Supports add own collections
° Select, press, send, really friendly to use!
Tips:
°° For the gif avatar, it is a link, you can save it as animated profile avatar, please note
