When it comes to third party Twitter applications for BlackBerry 10 there aren't many to choose from. The latest to gain my interest is Willow which certainly has more to offer than the native client that comes pre-loaded on our BlackBerry 10 devices. Luckily Willow supports both the Z10 and Q10 so everyone can enjoy it. One thing I really love about Willow is its Active Frame - it shows...

Devil's Attorney updated, now optimised for the Q10

Devil's Attorney updated, now optimised for the Q10

One of my favorite games on BlackBerry 10 is Devil's Attorney. I downloaded it as soon as I saw James' review. However, when I switched over to the Q10 I missed it. While the app restored onto the Q10 during a device transfer, it wasn't quite optimized for the Q10 screen so it wasn't very pleasing to play. I am now happy to report that Devil's Attorney has been updated and is now optimized for...

Carnivores Dinosaur Hunter comes to BlackBerry 10 and it's pretty awesome

There are two styles of game within the game. 'Survive' is the less exciting of the two but is still a bunch of fun. Here you remain static with a shotgun as your only means of defense against the dinosaurs that...

Candy Bombs comes to BlackBerry 10 - a great little time killer

If you like the Tetris style of game you will love Candy Bombs for BlackBerry 10. Although an Android port you don't really notice it as it runs so beautifully. Where the game is different from Tetris is that instead of different shapes falling down the screen - with Candy Bombs we get two different colored circular bombs. The idea is to get four or more of the same colored bombs in a row...

We know that there is no ability for apps to run 'headless' right now on BlackBerry 10, meaning you need to keep apps running as an Active Frame to get certain features to work. Developers have then used this as a means to show important or relevant information on the Active Frame for you to see at a glance. This isn't always a pretty sight though. That's where an app like VitalSigns aims to...

Tiny Bird comes to BlackBerry 10 - and with a free version

We first took a look at Tiny Bird some time ago as it was available for both the PlayBook and BlackBerry 7 devices. However, it is now here for BlackBerry 10 and there is a free version just to whet your appetite. If you missed our previous review the concept of the game is real simple. You control Tiny Bird who will fly across the screen and you need to pick up goodies along the way....

I do like a good old Ninja game and luckily Shuriken Ninja War comes with a free version which will allow you to test out the first three levels before deciding whether to purchase the full version at $1.99/£1.50. If you like super fast action games then this one's a right beauty for your BlackBerry Z10. The idea of the game is very straight forward. Your village will be attacked by ninjas...

Will BlackBerry see a massive short squeeze when the Q10 is in full swing?

Will BlackBerry see a massive short squeeze when the Q10 is in full swing?

Despite BlackBerry doing a pretty solid job of rescuing itself from what would otherwise be inescapable death with the launch of BlackBerry 10, the stock market continues to bet against the company in larger numbers. As of mid-May, a grand total of 170.6 million shares of BlackBerry were sold short out of a total share count of 515 million. Shares that are sold short have been sold by someone...

Carry your Q10 in style with the BlackBerry Leather Holster

I wasn't always fond of holsters and I have only really been using them with the last three BlackBerry devices I've owned. Mainly because I didn't like slipping it into my pocket, especially when pocket sizes are getting smaller and I also don't like putting my BlackBerry device into my bag. It's not easily accessible when in a bag. The next best thing was a holster, since I often like to rock...

Monster Shooter - The Lost Levels comes to BlackBerry 10

We first took a look at Monster Shooter - The Lost Levels when it hit the BlackBerry PlayBook. However, the awesome game is now available for BlackBerry 10 and as it's such an action packed shoot 'em up game it is well worth bringing you another look on it running on the Z10. Priced at £2.50/$3.99 it's actually one of the best games on BlackBerry 10 if you ask me. Your character must...

BlackBerry Q5 arrives at the FCC

BlackBerry Q5 arrives at the FCC

Although the BlackBerry Q5 hasn't really been slated for arrival in the US, in most cases devices that operate on US compatible networks still appear there from time-to-time because they need approval for roaming agreements and that looks to be what is happening here. Appearing with support for AT&T's 3G network, the device labeled as L6ARFS120LW is sitting at the FCC alongside all the...

Back in February, Neil Gaiman teamed up with BlackBerry as part of the Keep Moving Projects. His goal was to create a series of short stories, one for each calendar month. Along the way he solicited fans for ideas and artwork to help along the journey of writing each short story. The end result is the amazing series of stories entitled A Calendar of Tales. On February 4th 2013 Neil Gaiman...

Good News: BlackBerry Q10 apps will immediately work on the BlackBerry Q5

Yes, I know. That's a bit of an obvious statement considering the screen resolutions are the same 720x720 however; it's actually quite important to remember. I say that because, unlike the releases of the BlackBerry Z10 and BlackBerry Q10, there won't be any wait time for apps to be transitioned over to the BlackBerry Q5. That device will make use of all the BlackBerry Q10 apps that are already...

With the youth of the UK being so big into their BlackBerry Curves the Q5 will be the natural upgrade for them and in fact I wouldn't be...
