Posted by Ryan Blundell on 28 Mar 2012 2:28 pm
[ youtube video link for mobile viewing ] Way back in October 2011, at DevCon Americas, we saw the game TunnelTilt demoed at the keynote. I remember seeing it and trying to look it up in BlackBerry App World as some other applications were being made available that day as well. Silly me, I should have known better. TunnelTilt was used to show off the power of WebGL (Web Graphics Library...

Things you can do with a BlackBerry PlayBook, even if it doesn't have OS 2.0

Posted by Adam Zeis on 27 Oct 2011 3:05 pm
[ youtube video link for mobile viewing ] Bumming around a bit at the BlackBerry DevCon 2011 party, I took some time away to run off with Kevin's sweet "PlayBook on a chain" to do up a fun video. I ambushed pretty much anyone I could find and snagged them on video. I'll apologize off the bat to anyone who didn't notice what the PlayBook said and/or thought that the video would never see the...

In addition to fielding questions, the goal of the session...

If you weren't able to attend the BlackBerry DevCon 2011 sessions, RIM last night posted them up for everyone.

By free, we mean you will have to register for the site but after that you will gain access to all the content...

To build or to port? A developer's thoughts about the Android App Player on BlackBerry

Posted by Shao128 on 24 Oct 2011 1:41 pm
Back in March of this year when RIM announced the Android player for PlayBook, my first thought was awesome! We were going to get the best of both worlds, we'd be able to run apps from two of the great software platforms out there.

Could BBX allow BlackBerry to create a gaming utopia?

Posted by Chris Umiastowski on 24 Oct 2011 11:52 am
I've been wanting to write on this topic for a while now, and I think having attended DevCon this past week makes it a ripe opportunity. So here goes … BlackBerry Gaming Today: RIM has done a pretty good job proving that QNX can absolutely scream when it comes to gaming. It's right up there with the iPad2. And now that gaming SDKs such as Marmalade and Unity bake in full support for the...

BlackBerry DevCon 2011 Pavilion Tour Part 1: Search 4 BBM, Polar Mobile, Metova and Universal Mind

Posted by Ryan Blundell on 24 Oct 2011 9:54 am
[ youtube video link for mobile viewing ] The mobile pavilion at DevCon 2011 is a showcase for sponsoring companies in order to show off their wares/applications. This year, the pavilion was apparently smaller than it was in previous years.
