Quick Review: Cogimap for the BlackBerry PlayBook

Posted by Ryan Blundell on 22 May 2011 12:46 pm
[ youtube video link for mobile viewing ]A good brain storming session is always a good way to wake up your brain. In some cases, it gives your brain a chance to clear the cobwebs, fold some laundry and throw out a slice of week old pizza that’s been hiding under its couch. To avoid forgetting whatever brilliant scheme you’re concocting, you may reach for a pen and a pad of paper to try and...

Review: SOTI Pocket Controller-Pro 8 – Now with Bluetooth Support and Notifications

Posted by Alicia Erlich on 20 May 2011 2:56 pm
SOTI Pocket Controller-Pro for BlackBerry is one of the few productivity apps I consistently rely on day to day. For me it’s more than just the ability to use BBM from my desktop. Need to capture a tricky screenshot for a 101 that no other app will get? Check. Want to type on a regular keyboard instead of the small keys of the BB? Check. Peace of mind that it looks like I’m being productive at...

More power. It’s not just the Tool Man that’s looking to tweak and tinker in order to achieve that goal. Some do it with fewer explosions (and a lot less grunting). Admit it, when you get a new gadget that you love, a voice in your head will, without fail, say something along the line of “Yeah…it’s cool..but…I wish I could…(insert awesome tweak idea here)!” Don’t fight it, it will happen...

Quick Review: Canucks app for BlackBerry smartphones

Posted by Ryan Blundell on 19 May 2011 2:52 pm
  Ah the Stanley Cup playoffs. It’s an exciting time of year to say the least. Who am I rooting for? The Vancouver Canucks of course. This year, you can associate the Vancouver Canucks with the phrase “this is what we live for”. I guess that same phrase can apply to hardcore BlackBerry users, as well. Over the weekend, I was lucky enough to win a pair of tickets to the first game of Round 3....

Quick Review: Kobo for the BlackBerry PlayBook

Posted by Adam Zeis on 12 May 2011 2:39 pm
With no sign of a Kindle app, BlackBerry PlayBook users who want some eBook action only have one option at the moment. Kobo for the PlayBook is actually a pretty sweet app, however if you use another service (Kindle, Nook) you obviously won't have access to your library or anything you purchased previously.I actually like the Kobo app on the PlayBook. I had a few books on my Nook...

Review: Easy Animation for BlackBerry

Posted by Ryan Blundell on 11 May 2011 2:44 pm
Not too long ago, I put together a three way battle (of sorts) between image editing applications. We looked at resizing, cropping and even clip art. One thing these apps didn't cover was animation. Yes, those sometimes cute, and often annoying animated avatars some use for their profiles. Now I'm not here to judge; chances are there is probably an old profile of mine sporting a simple...

Quick Review: ArtGO! Coloring for the BlackBerry PlayBook

Posted by Ryan Blundell on 6 May 2011 4:02 pm
[ youtube video link for mobile viewing ] It seems as though each time I bring home a new gadget, my son appears to be just as eager to check it out. Try telling a 4 year old that the PlayBook is the “World’s First Professional Grade Tablet” and not a toy… especially when the name contains the word Play. Not to dissuade a future BlackBerry addict, I went looking for applications I...

Review: Rocket Storm for the BlackBerry PlayBook

Posted by Ryan Blundell on 6 May 2011 12:49 pm
[ youtube video link for mobile viewing ] Rocket Storm is an addictively fun game available for the BlackBerry PlayBook. The name itself makes me think of some kind of cheesy band name. It is a defence-type game that places your “space station” (ie, little metal sphere) against an increasingly aggressive onslaught of inbound rockets; hence the name. The reason for the attack is unknown...

Review: IM+ Talk for BlackBerry

Posted by Ryan Blundell on 25 Apr 2011 2:19 pm
Skype is one of the best ways to reach out to people for free or cheap. From your desktop or laptop you can enjoy free VoIP or Videos calls between Skype members. You can even get into group video calling. But what if you find yourself without a computer? Armed with your BlackBerry, you can still keep in contact by using the IM+ Talk application. Through IM+ talk, you unlock some of the...
