Posted by Adam Zeis on 13 Sep 2012 11:27 am
If you have kids you know how they get when you're on a long car trip, at grandma's house or they are just flat out bored. Thankfully your BlackBerry PlayBook can keep them entertained with the help of some great kids apps. Now, I'm not saying you should sit your kids down with your tablet for hours on end, but when the need arises, the PlayBook can distract them long enough to let you get...

Local Deals by IML Snacks makes that option even easier for me (and the rest of you in the US and Canada). Local Deals searches the daily deal providers (like Groupon) for all the...

What do you do when there are videos on YouTube that you want to save to watch later on your BlackBerry PlayBook? There are several options for bookmarking them, but what if "later" is a time when you don't have Wifi available? The answer (short of buying a 4G LTE BlackBerry PlayBook, of course) is to download the video so that you can watch it whenever and wherever you please. Enter TubeMate, a...
