Premium Software
Vol 2 is officially here! THE HEAVY ROTATION seemed to quite a hit the first go round. Assuming users either love repetition, or we’ve built a nice fanbase of readers that trust my selective choices. Either way, round 2!

We’ve still never seen the post that was specifically created for another important blog go live. To be honest I’m just going to have to get past that. In lieu of it all I must admit, I love these posts.
One of the most popular tablet applications Sketch W Friends has just gotten a nice update tonight. XLabz Technologies couldn’t be more proud of the success this game has brought them, and they’ve continued to give back.

We’re not sure yet what all v2.0 brings. I reached out to XLabz for a full changelog. Though it appears they’ve added quite a bit, and listened to fans as well! Priya got back to us with some screenshots & full changelog. Thanks Priya!

emacberry popped off with a very cool new application (compatible with touch screen only). iMazing is a highly useful new email extension that let’s users Delete, Mark as Read, or Read your emails instantaneously.
I can’t lie I’m a fan of any email-pop-up application. But emacberry does a fantastic job building apps that appear to belong inside the BlackBerry OS.
Some said it would never come.. Some cried it wasn’t fair.. Some saw it in App World the night before, but were spoiled when they couldn’t buy it yet. I am talking about the Walt Disney of mobile gaming, Angry Birds Space!

Angry Birds Space is compatible with tablet 1.0 & up, on BlackBerry PlayBook only of course. There is no free (ad-supported) option of course. ..Space will set you back $4.99. Get it here.
I won’t waste any time talking about how cool this game is. If you’ve played Angry Birds Space on an Android or iOS device, then you know your going to love it on the PlayBook. Bigger birds, more space and better controls. You be the judge!
**NEW Note: upon waking this morning I wanted to download ..Space to our other PlayBook and can’t help notice the game is now missing?? RIM also has not sent us any info about Angry Birds Space. Therefore the whole release may have been just a cruel joke. At this point We do not see it. Let us know if you see anything different.
Note: Some users may not see the game just yet. Be patient it does exist, takes a few hours for everyone to see it.
Pick up Angry Birds Space from your PlayBook here!
Research In Motion is always on point with all the major holidays. With Easter Sunday tomorrow you might want to stock up on some fun games, themes & apps for the kiddo’s. They’re not just on smartphones, PlayBook has a fair share of goodies too!

These items are compatible with most all devices and tablet OS’s. You’ll just have to click on a specific product to see if your device and operating system are compatible.
We usually offer some product giveaways every holiday we can, but somehow Easter has caught me a tad under-prepared. Apologies of course. We’ll have some goodies later this month for sure.
Check out all the Easter goods here: http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/search/Easter/
Flicking through the new apps in BlackBerry App World a bit ago and I came by one called The Organic App by Toysoft. The Organic App is designed for shoppers keep pesticides out of their favorite produce!

“Really did you know that nearly 98% of apples test positive for pesticides, and 92% contained two or more!” Source: EWG Report.

Ebscer first caught my attention with his game Pixelated Plus for BlackBerry PlayBook & Smartphones. I would later graduate to his Xploding Boxes game (personal favorite), and now his Runaway Trains game for BlackBerry PlayBook. Another absolute must-have.

V1.1 of Runaway Trains for BlackBerry PlayBook brings some additional levels [101 - 120] & Spanish language support. Compatibility still covers BlackBerry tablet 1.0.6 as well as NOOK tablet & color devices here.
Not only will you find misspelled items on eBay with this application, but you’ll be saving tons of loot since these items get very few bids, if any at all. C2 Development came with it on this app. Fat Fingers is based off the popular website by the same name, www.fatfingers.com/.

Fat Fingers is compatible with tablet 1.0 & up. So everyone can check it out. You can check out more info about this app or pick it up now for $1.99 in BlackBerry App World here.
Ever since the PlayBook has come out I’ve searched for a great block-breaker style game to enjoy. Now finally with the help of Marmalade, we have Blocks of Pyramid Breaker by Fern’s Blossom Studio. A totally addicting block crusher complete with bonuses in an ancient Egypt setting.

Blocks of Pyramid Breaker is compatible with BlackBerry Tablets 1.0.7 & up, as well as various Android devices. Check out the game in BlackBerry App World here.
Features different types of blocks in game:
° blocks that needs two or three hits to be destroyed
° special ankh block which drops bonuses, block with hieroglyph can also drop bonus
° many blocks contain hidden crystals, gems and jewels, crush them with paddle to get more points
° indestructible blocks
Being a huge fan of quality products, I thought we’d better do a post on some of the new items MMMOOO has come out with lately. From FREE apps & games to some of the most fun themes, they’re building compatibility for OS7.1 devices (themes) & still bringing items out for OS4.5!

All of MMMOOO’s products can be downloaded either for free or for a decent price in BlackBerry App World. They’ve been offering full access to many of their premium products for a review in App World too.
After seeing CrackBerry’s post on The Hunger Games books last week, I thought now is no better time for us to start expanding our scope by cracking into all things digital. The Used just dropped their 5th studio album and it’s one you won’t want to miss!

Vulnerable was released by independent label, Hopeless Records. You can download any or all the tracks off this release from multiple sources, most importantly BBM Music [via smartphones] or 7Digital Store via [BlackBerry PlayBook].
