    One of the most anticipated forthcoming about BlackBerry 10 is what the native apps are going to look like, and how they will function. We know that TAT (The Astonishing Tribe) have been put in charge of coming up with great user experience and UIs for the native BlackBerry 10 apps. Today, assuming the slides are legit, we have a sneekpeek at the Facebook app on the BlackBerry 10 device!

    This cool little game has been out for a couple of weeks now but I just came across it yesterday and I have to say, it's pretty awesome. SolverLabs has made, in essence, a clone of the famous iOS app Tiny Wings and brought it to BlackBerry smartphones and the PlayBook.

    Tiny Bird has the user take control of a tiny bird as he (or she, not really sure) makes his way through hills collecting stars and precious gems. The secret is to create enough momentum as Tiny Bird slides on the hills (by pressing the screen when going downhill and releasing at the correct time at the bottom of the hill) before the storm catches up to you.

    BlackBerryOS Mobile App Created By App Generator

    For some time now we have heard about the BlackBerry App Generator - a self making app interface that allows you to create your own app without the knowledge or skill of developing. I was lucky enough to get a invite to the program in it's beta stages. The first thing I came up with is a app for none other than BlackBerryOS.com! I can't say much about how it works as the program is currently in private beta, however, I literally put this app together in under 5 minutes. What the app generator does is collect your RSS feeds and compiles them into a handy little interface equipped with sexy graphics and animations. All you have to do is put in the images, choose the colors, and input the links. As simple as that. And it looks sexy too. Albeit, not the most in depth app, but it does work as a news/blog app very well. We are still in the beta stages of the App Generator program, so I imagine it will continue to add more features and improvements in the near future. Learn more about the BlackBerry App Generator and request an invite.

    Don't wait around any longer. Head to App World and download the Free BBOS Mobile App! Available for the PlayBook and Smartphones running OS 5 and higher.

    App World Hits Three Billion Downloads And Counting

    While Alec Saunders isn't making up parody songs for BlackBerry 10, he loves to do some myth busting on app development for BlackBerry. One of these myths is that there aren't hardly any apps for BlackBerry. This is just not true. Via the BlackBerryDev Blog, Victoria Berry shares with us a few major stats regarding apps, including a major 3 billions apps downloaded milestone!

    Three billion app downloads averages out to over 2.5 million downloads each day. What’s even more important – and impressive – is that the number of daily downloads continues to increase. It took 786 days to reach the one billion mark, 210 days to reach two billion, and only 176 days to reach the three billion number. I should also note that this number does not include apps downloaded from third party BlackBerry app stores, or those pushed internally at companies around the world, or those downloaded directly from the web.
    Special thanks is due to the over 28,000 BlackBerry App World vendors and the BlackBerry App World storefront team. BlackBerry App World has continued to grow steadily with more than 90,000 applications now up for sale (we know other platforms use other metrics like submitted, or approved, but we prefer the more tangible “up for sale”).
    Congrats to BlackBerry for this great milestone! Let us know what your favorite BlackBerry apps are in the comments.

    Kanok Gems has just released a very sought after feature for those in Thailand - a Thai input keyboard for PlayBook. The PlayBook OS has yet to expand it's tentacles out to various languages, so apps like this are great for many looking to type in their native tongue. You can pick this app up in App World for free!

    Calvin And Hobbes Comics For PlayBook

    Calvin and Hobbes has got to be one of my favorite comics of all time. I remember the days when I would sit there laughing hysterically by myself as I read through each book (hey, I had friends too). So when I just discovered today that developers, Handster Inc, made a Calvin and Hobbes app for the BlackBerry PlayBook, I got ecstatic! Now I'll be able to go back and relive some of those laughs right from my tablet, and see the comics from a different perspective than I did when I was just a kid. Calvin and Hobbes comics can play a double meaning quite often. Anyhow, this is a free app that only comes with a small ad at the bottom of the page. No biggie. Enjoy!
