Now that the Porsche Design P'9983 is official and the covers have been taken off the device, we're getting some of those glorious high res images coming in. Taking a closer look at the device, you can see the sculpted keys and how they offer up a rather awesome 3D look. It's a look I personally wouldn't mind seeing on shall we say more consumer affordable devices. Overall, the Porsche...
Last week we asked how many of you use the Text Messages icon on BlackBerry 10 and today we're running down the same line with another pop quiz. I realized the other day that I've really never used the actual camera icon on either my Z10 or Q10. I have it buried in my media folder and have kept it there since the start. When I want to snap a photo I just tap the quick icon on the...
I think it's safe to say that most BlackBerry users are rather keen to send or respond to messages as soon as possible - even if walking, and that's where TextNGo may come in useful. Essentially that is what the app is designed for - to allow you to see where you are going even if typing a message on your BlackBerry 10 phone. TextNGo utilises the camera application on the BlackBerry...
BlackBerry 10 is jam-packed with software functions to make the most of your your Z10's camera. TimeShift, the built-in Story Maker, and the finely tuned still image editing tools are but the tip of the iceberg, though. A few practical usage tips will go a long way to making snaps their best. The BlackBerry 10 camera isn't too shabby if you know how to use it, all it takes is a little...
DLNA is a brand new feature for BlackBerry 10 users, and a welcome addition for those that want to watch videos stored on their BlackBerry Z10 on the big screen TV. DLNA allows users to connect to all sorts of smart home gadgets that are certified and using the same Wi-Fi network. The content shared spans to images and music, in addition to video. The process of setting up DLNA is...
The camera on the BlackBerry Z10 has been a point of contention among many reviewers, so we thought it prudent to take a closer look at the quality of pictures it takes and the software features available. We already touched on the broad strokes in our BlackBerry Z10 review, but just to recap... Camera Specifications The BlackBerry Z10 has a ⅓-inch 8 megapixel back side illumination...
We know the blogs have been pretty saturated with news, tips & tricks, and how-tos for the new BlackBerry 10 OS and the BlackBerry Z10, and some of you that haven't upgraded yet or don't plan to are feeling a little left out. (I can't blame you for feeling that way. As of this writing I don't have my Z10 either!) To show that you guys aren't forgotten, the great developers over at...
If you've read our BlackBerry Z10 review or even if you own a BlackBerry Z10 then you'll know the camera doesn't take the best low light shots. However, CrackBerry Forums user BelfastDispatcher has a neat trick to share -- he's found that if you drag the camera focus to a dark spot, it readjusts the lighting and gives you a brighter photo. He shared an example and you can really see the...
With BlackBerry 10 being built from the ground up, there are plenty of new things to explore and find within the OS. One thing RIM added that might sound rather trivial to some but could be thought of as a much needed feature to others is the built-in photo editing function. Rather than searching out an app to help with cropping photos, red eye reduction, adjusting contrast or even...
The BlackBerry Q10 is the first full QWERTY BlackBerry 10 device from BlackBerry. It was announced earlier today and while we don't know when or where it will be available just yet, we still got a chance to play with and check it out for ourselves. It's a really great device overall - taking the BlackBerry OS and putting it on a device with a physical keyboard. The BlackBerry Q10 is...
The BlackBerry Z10 is finally here and we couldn't be more excited. It's been wayyyy too long that we've had to wait this one out, but now it's here and it really was all worth it. There are two color variations of the BlackBerry Z10 available to start, and here you can see both in all their BlackBerry 10 glory. So what are you waiting for? Keep reading to see both the black and white...
Is your BlackBerry smartphone or tablet filled with photos? Are you a comic book fanatic? Do you love modifying your photos and sharing them with friends and family? If you answered yes to any of these questions then you will like Comic Strip Maker! This fun application is available for both smartphones and the BlackBerry PlayBook and takes any of your personal photos and transforms...
RIM was awarded another patent today, this one to prevent "inconspicuous" use of the camera. The patent places a restriction on quick photo snapping as the subject will have to remain in focus for a specified amount of time before the picture can be taken. This will just add to the already great security of BlackBerry devices, hoping to lock down "spy" shots in a corporate environment...
During the general session at BlackBerry Jam Asia, PicStory made an appearance with their BB10 app. We've seen them on current BlackBerry devices as a fine filter, background, and framing app for photos, and the BlackBerry 10 version is shaping up to be an excellent sequel. There are a bunch of frames ready to go, complete with panning and zooming when cropping. Filters are the usual...
One of the things that we here at CrackBerry are looking forward to in the upcoming BlackBerry 10 devices is the time-shift camera. For me, when I look back at many of my home photos, I am the one notorious for having my eyes closed all the time or not having the most pleasing facial expressions. So, when I saw this feature, I was happy that eventually I could have decent photos taken...
In our '10 Weeks of BlackBerry 10' series we'll explore one feature of BlackBerry 10 each week leading up to the launch event on January 30th. This week: The Time Shift Camera
It's always nice to discover new apps and almost daily, I'll visit App World via my BlackBerry Smartphone and PlayBook to check out interesting apps. Today, I've got three apps tell you about, all for your BlackBerry PlayBook. They are all camera related. As you know, the BlackBerry PlayBook is a convenient size for carrying around and even taking pictures of video footage with. i do...
One of the things I love most about my BlackBerry is being able to take candid and random shots while on the go. Whether it be a shot of an autumn evening, a rainbow after a storm, or just being at the right place at the right time (I'm looking at you Rick Springfield). What makes things even more exciting is taking these memories and altering them and sharing them right from your...
Super popular and feature packed photo editing application Photo Studio has been updated to v1.1.13, and as usual KVADGroup has added new features and options as well as bug fixes. In this release they implemented a big opportunity to collect and re-use your favorite operations such as filters, effects, frames and so on with new cool feature – action sets. This makes it even faster to...
I got into a conversation with my mother-in-law a few nights ago about how as kids, we used to play outside whenever we had the chance. Over the summer I'd be out right after breakfast, only coming home to eat dinner, then go back out as long as there was daylight. Not anymore. Kids (mine included) since inside all day watching TV or playing video games. Mine dreads the thought of...
If you love photography, scrapbooking, or just looking for a way to showcase your favorite pictures while on the go then Chimpantech has just released two new applications for all you novices out there. Both of these applications are easy to use photo editing tools for those looking to add color to or create collages with images taken from their camera or those stored on the device...
They say a picture is worth a thousand words but what if you wanted to add a little note before sending off to friends or family? Perhaps you’re an avid photographer who needs to jot down your thoughts or ideas on specific images to review at a later time? Maybe you just want to include a funny caption to your personal photos before sharing it on your social networks or on BBM....
One of the BlackBerry 10 features shown off back in May at BlackBerry World that got us salivating was a canned video demo of the camera's time shift feature. Fast forward a few months now to BlackBerry Jam Americas, and we were able to put the feature to use FOR REAL. Unfortunately we couldn't find a better looking model to test it out on, so it's CrackBerry Adam's mug on this one....
