If you frequent sideloading apps onto your BlackBerry PlayBook, then you've likely heard of and used the DDPB Installer app before. Given the fact that it allows you to install .BAR files to your PlayBook on the fly, it's a pretty awesome tool to have laying around and now it's been updated to v1.0.8.
