Satellite Assault for the BlackBerry PlayBook brings back a few memories for me. If you are old enough to have played Asteroids on the Atari back in the day you will remember what fun it was. Satellite Assault is not that different, apart from clearly things have improved over the last 20+ years. You control a space craft that must avoid contact with asteroids that appear on screen....
Acid Rain for the BlackBerry PlayBook is a simple yet fun swiping style of game. Your job is to protect your three flowers from the storm that will produce some nasty acid rain. In order to do this you must swipe away the evil green acid rain. Using combinations will earn you more points but it isn't quite that easy. As the levels progress you will find more and more blue rain drops....
It was only last week that here in the UK the 64GB PlayBook got a price drop at Currys/PC World and for some bizarre reason it has been retailing at £129. Both the 16GB and 32GB version of the 7 inch tablet have now also been re-priced and the new costs fall in line with the 64GB model. So if you fancy a bargain you can pick up the BlackBerry PlayBook for the following prices: £109...
The Dixons group seem to have an online special offer on at the moment on the 64GB BlackBerry PlayBook. If you head on over to Dixons or PC World you will find the 64GB PlayBook for only £129. Yes, you did read that right! Why this version of the tablet is cheaper than the 32GB I have no idea but this may well be bargain of the year. Even if you don't use a BlackBerry smartphone...
Yesterday morning I stirred the pot on twitter when I made the following tweet... When I get an email from someone that says "Sent from my iPad" I immediately conclude that person places little value on their time. Agree? At face value and given my position as Fearless Leader of CrackBerry Nation, I'll admit the tweet comes off as harsh and fanboy-ish. Yes, I'm ripping at...
With the launch of the 4G BlackBerry PlayBook imminent I thought it would be a great opportunity to talk gaming on the tablet. Fingers crossed this new version of RIM's PlayBook will help increase sales and generate some Blackberry loving. Also remember that the PlayBook will get an upgrade to Blackberry 10 in the future so it will rock even more. This article is really aimed at...
A couple weeks back Mobile Nations surveyed its readers on our various platform-centric sites. We asked you questions about your computer, smartphone, and tablet buying history and plans. The data was intriguing and interesting to dig into. After staring at the results and applying various filters to the data, one big conclusion became crystal clear: Smartphone enthusiasts most...
We're expecting the BlackBerry PlayBook 2.0 update to be hitting the streets very, very soon (like 5am EST), and it's going to be a big step for both RIM and end-users. Android support will broaden app selection, stand-alone applications for e-mail, calendar, and memos will finally arrive, and there will be lots of nice extras which we weren't necessarily asking for, like being able...
Walking through the various halls here at CES 2012 you sure stumble across a whole bunch of different stuff, some things get a bit repetitive but sometimes there are things that just jump right out at you. While cruising through one of the halls I noticed a bunch of tablets all propped up without anyone holding them and I was immediately intrigued, then I met Octa WhaleTail and Vacuum...
Is 7 inches too small for a tablet? Steve Jobs seemed to think that the 7-inch tablet was just to small, hence his decision to only release a 10-inch tablet, and now a researcher by the name of Jakob Nielsen has completed a study that he believes confirms this. Having had the BlackBerry PlayBook in hand for quite a while I would personally have to disagree that the 7-inch...
