Just a little bit of a heads up for any developers (and those who just like to play around) who might not have spotted the update as of yet. You can now download the latest device simulator from the BlackBerry website, which sits at OS 10.3.1.1949.

You can also hit up the release notes right here to view the changes and known issues.
P.S.: For everyone else who will inevitably ask. No, you can't install this on your device and no it's not an OS leak. I know, it's dreadful and we could use a new OS but this isn't it. It's rough out here!

Weekend Coder: Passport Keyboard Scrolling and Gestures
After a two month break, Weekend Coder is back with another installment. Today I bring you some Passport specific goodies using the touch enabled keyboard.
