From the Forums: Show off the BlackBerry PlayBook browser with We Choose the Moon!

Posted by Michelle Haag on 24 Jun 2011 12:52 pm
CrackBerry member Maxxberry shared in the forums an awesome website for showing off the BlackBerry PlayBook's browser. The site is called We Choose the Moon and honors the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. It's chock full of flashy goodness, and really shows what the PlayBook is capable of on content-rich websites. Not only that, the site is really interesting! My daughter and I...

From the Forums: Video quality on the BlackBerry PlayBook

Posted by Bla1ze on 19 Jun 2011 3:58 pm
[ youtube video link for mobile viewing ] We've taken a look at the video quality on the BlackBerry PlayBook a couple times in the past but it's always interesting to take a stroll through the CrackBerry forums and find others that are impressed by the video camera as well as and more importantly -- what they're recording with their PlayBooks. Forums member rjkolo attended a picnic and...

Forums member daspop spotted a great website called Pixlr-o-matic that works great on the PlayBook. To use it is simple - head to pixlr.com/o-matic in your PlayBook browser. Choose "computer" and open a stored image, then choose your filter from the scrolling...

The BlackBerry PlayBook Application Initiative: Working together to get the third party apps we want ASAP!

Posted by Kevin Michaluk on 24 May 2011 7:18 pm
The BlackBerry PlayBook has been on the market for a little over a month now, and while we've seen the catalog of PlayBook apps grow, we have yet to see most of the BIG TIME services that sooo many of us use daily on our computers and other mobile devices come to the Tablet OS platform (seriously, I can't even imagine going back to life without Kindle, Skype, Dropbox or Evernote and...

From the Forums: How to get Duck Hunt running on your BlackBerry PlayBook!

If you have a BlackBerry PlayBook, chances are good that you are itching for some great games. There are some good ones in BlackBerry App World, and more to come, but one of the coolest things about the PlayBook is the built in flash support, which potentially opens up the door for a ton of awesome games that can be found free, right on the internet. CrackBerry forums member Lucky45 laid out a...

From the forums: Verizon Webinar BlackBerry PlayBook FAQ notes that native email, calendar and contacts are on the way!

Posted by Kevin Michaluk on 28 Mar 2011 4:41 pm
Forums member mediq91 dropped a bit of good info in the forums today in the form of a BlackBerry PlayBook FAQ taken from a Verizon webinar. The document contains a good summary of answers to all the common PlayBook questions like specs and BlackBerry Bridge, but nothing really new that we haven't seen before. It is good to see more solid information coming straight from RIM however. The cool...

Great feature or just plain annoying? Shift and delete erases your message in BlackBerry Messenger

Posted by Adam Zeis on 7 Mar 2011 11:50 am
  Shift and delete erases your message in BBM - do you like this "feature"?survey software   When it first started happening I thought it was just a fluke, but then as it happened more and more it became super annoying. When using BlackBerry Messenger I (as well as many others) discovered that hitting "shift + delete" in BlackBerry Messenger magically erases your entire message. Now,...

Zombie Horror Novel Written on BlackBerry by CrackBerry member sees release (stars me as the Michaluk virus...woohoo!)

Posted by Kevin Michaluk on 27 Jan 2011 12:28 pm
Writing a novel is no easy task. For most people it's too daunting to even think about starting, never mind finishing. But how about writing a novel on your BlackBerry? Pure craziness in my opinion, but that's exactly what CrackBerry member Jessica Meigs (a_silent_song) did. She recently released her first novella in a five-part series, called The Becoming: Outbreak.  The novel features a...
