We have 10 copies of the popular app Fancy Characters to giveaway to BBOS members! Add a ton more awesome characters to your BBM arsenal with Fancy Characters from FancyApps Limited! Characters have become such a huge part of BBM that almost everyone uses them on a regular basis now. They have become an easy way to relay a text message in the form of a simple image, or to add that extra bit of text emotion with a big grinning smiley. I've seen characters from horoscope signs to little piles of poop. One thing is for sure, you can't have enough characters in your BBM arsenal.

Users can turn their BlackBerry into a fantastic photo editing studio that allows them to mix operations, clips and effects.

As a DJ (weekend job), this got me so excited that I literally said "yes!" out loud when I read this for the first time. Pacemaker was actually a portable DJing device that unfortunately ended up being discontinued after a lot of people thought it had a ton of potential. Well today, RIM and Pacemaker have announced an exclusive partnership to bring a Pacemaker DJing app to the PlayBook sometime in the Spring.

No details in terms of pricing or specific availability dates but it's definitely coming for sure. I'm ridiculously excited and you can bet we will be breaking down this app when it's available for all our pro to living room DJs out there.

The BlackBerry Native SDK 2.0 for the BlackBerry PlayBook is out of beta and available for developers around the world. Updates to the Native SDK make developing C/C++ applications for the BlackBerry PlayBook simpler, with enhanced troubleshooting and a more intuitive IDE for developers.

The LED service API will allow notifications in applications. Developers can take advantage of the BlackBerry PlayBook’s stereo sound with the Soundplayer API.

This is possibly one of the coolest things I have seen in a very long time and the best part about it is it's a BlackBerry exclusive. The above video is about a new app that The Astonishing Tribe has decided to show off at Mobile World Congress 2012 today. This app, which currently has no name, enables multiple PlayBooks to, in essence, be aware of each others locations when they are nearby and share files between them. A perfect idea for businesses, large and small alike. In this example, we can see how two PlayBook interact with one another and how even five of them can integrate together in a way.

The document sharing app enables its users to share by dragging and dropping files or simply "power swiping" them to an external display (like a projection screen; etc). The UI is gorgeous and the simplicity of this makes any BlackBerry user just so excited to know it's coming.

Moreover, we know that BlackBerry 10 will be heavily influenced by TAT UI design and when are shown what it is possible, one can only imagine what they aren't showing us. Simply amazing. Check out another video below.

SolverLabs has just added free editions to their Angry Birds knockoff game called, Angry Pigs. They've created free versions for both Angry Pigs and Angry Pigs Seasons. I've played these free versions and the main difference is the addition of ads, which aren't really that bad or get in the way. Surprisingly, the gameplay is pretty smooth when compared to the other knockoff, Angry Farm.

Looks like OS 6 and OS 7 devices are compatible, so get updated or installed and leave us a comment on how these free versions work for you!

For all of us Chess nerds out there, my favorite Chess app for BlackBerry has just been updated to v1.2! This update fixes board size and orientation for OS 7 devices. If you didn't know, it's also available for the PlayBook tablet as well.
