Think about the (next / last) time your (child / pet / friend) does something that's so (cute / amazing / hilarious) that it deserves to be (sent to grandma / uploaded to YouTube / submitted to FailBlog). Too bad you don't have a camera. Wait, this BlackBerry takes pictures, right? Does it do video, too? Where's the... is in Media.... Uh... Blast. You've missed it.
Stick a pin in that thought. How easy is it to find your pictures or video on your BlackBerry? All you have to do is get to the media screen and then click / tap pictures or video. If you're a media-lovin' fool like me, you know how to start playing a video pretty quickly. Instead of choosing a video to watch or a picture to look at, take a look at the top of the screen.
Hidden in plain sight at the top of both the pictures and video apps are links to start the respective cameras. I, for one, have an oddly difficult time finding the icons for the cameras; and my convenience key has long since been dedicated to other functions. So I found a better and faster way to get to my cameras.
I just open the media folder and click or tap which ever app was most like what I wanted to do (e.g., pictures app to take a picture, etc.). I know exactly how to find and use those media features. By clicking one more button, you can quickly add some new memories to your BlackBerry.
Media -> Pictures -> Camera, done! Media -> Video -> Video Camera, done!

CrackBerry Asks: Do you use the camera icon on BlackBerry 10?
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...
No more bumping into people while you walk and type with TextNGo for BlackBerry 10
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...
