Hockey fans - NHL GameCenter now available for Blackberry 10

Posted by James Richardson on 28 Feb 2013 11:59 am

What I know about Hockey I could write on the back of a postage stamp! But I do know a great app when I see one and NHL GameCenter falls right into that category. For some strange reason it seems that the new BlackBerry 10 application is not available for users in America. I'm slightly baffled why as I thought hockey was pretty big over there. Anyway, that may just be a small glitch. The...

Posted by James Richardson on 28 Feb 2013 6:14 am

We posted earlier in the week that the BlackBerry Z10 was going on sale in India and judging by the amount of comments that the article received there are certainly some mixed feelings when it comes to the price of the new BlackBerry 10 smartphone.

Being a SCUBA diver myself I am quite aware of all the planning needed when you're diving, and more so when you...
