BBC Worldwide has developed an application for the hit show Top Gear and it's now available on the BlackBerry platform. Top Gear – News is available on the BlackBerry PlayBook as well as BlackBerry smartphones. The application has been designed to allow fans to keep connected when they missed an episode and between episodes. The application features latest news updates, Top Gear opinions, videos, and a whole lot more.
Features:
From within the application you are able to read the latest articles and share them with your BBM contacts. Of course if they do not have the app they will be prompted to download it to read the post. Along with BBM integration you can also share via FaceBook, Twitter, and email.
Of course, the Playbook doesn’t have BBM connected capabilities, but its version still offers a lot of the same features you would find on the phones. The benefit to using Top Gear on the PlayBook is that you will have a larger screen to watch the video clips. Top Gear on your smartphone is perfect for portability, it isn’t the best for viewing video. If you have both a BlackBerry smartphone and tablet I would highly recommend downloading the application on both. With the app on both you’ll never be out of date on the newest from Audi, BMW, or Porsche.
If you have not watched Top Gear and have a thing for cars I suggest you download the app, and check your local listings for availability.

Yes! Love me some Top Gear (UK top gear... not this Tanner garbage)

Why the Top Gear USA hate? I would rather watch Tanner than almost anything on ABC, NBC, CBS or FOX!
Granted Top Gear USA pales in comparison to the original Top Gear. But until May, Clarkson and Hammond make 365 shows a year I tune into Top Gear USA and Top Gear Australia whenever new episodes are available ...
And to keep this on topic ... I've had the Top Gear app on my Playbook and 9900 since almost the day it was release and am LOVING IT!!!

Top Gear USA is so artificial... We (Americans) couldn't come up with our own idea, but we love MONEY, so decided to copy the UK idea just to make money. Probably would have worked if they got better announcers than those useless 3. They have NO chemistry, they look so uncomfortable when together and you can see they have a script to follow, it's pathetic. Top Gear UK rules!!

The best app... "In the world"

Not that great of an app, IMHO. Hangs, stutters, even on WiFi. You'd think BBC could finance a decent app.... "I mean, how hard can it be"
wuulfy May 10, 2012 at 10:55 am
i think top gear is an independent production made for the bbc.

BB seems to be getting more app support from the UK than the US these days. Too bad these shows cover so many cars not available here. Still worth a watch I guess.

I'm disappointed this doesn't work with the Bold 9780.
vespajet May 11, 2012 at 3:16 pm
The Curve 9360 isn't supported either. But at least I have the PlayBook app.....

So happy! Althought there is no close option on the app or an exit. But that's not a big deal. So happy to have this app.
Just Me May 11, 2012 at 12:37 am
Love the app. Can't wait for the version that allows you to watch full episodes. I can see myself paying for that.

Will not work on the 9650. :-(
I'm really hoping a BB10 hits Sprint before December. Definitely need an upgrade.
