It’s hard for any of us to imagine our beloved BlackBerry smartphone being left in a taxi or getting stolen, but the truth is stuff happens – we misplace things, we accidentally leave behind a bag, or worse. If you’re on a BlackBerry Enterprise Server, the data on your BlackBerry smartphone is backed up by your IT administrator, but what about the rest of us? We want all of you to know that the important (and sometimes sentimental) data such as contacts, calendars, tasks, memos, text messages and browser bookmarks from your missing device can be recovered easily as long as you have BlackBerry Protect set up completely and correctly.

RIM has just launched new microsites to better help the BB community and has given BlackBerry Jam Zone a facelift to make it easy to navigate to the tools you want!

Our friend Ronen, from BerryReview, reports some upcoming highlights in a couple presentation slides from MWC 2012, which outline a roadmap from OS 7 to the upcoming BlackBerry OS 10. What I find most notable about the roadmap, is the Scoreloop integration. This shows that social gaming is coming to BlackBerry full force. Which means that the upcoming BB 10 device is going to be a awesome mobile gaming platform, something that will lure in the younger non-business users.

We just saw RIM officially release the Native SDK 2.0 for the PlayBook today, and now Scoreloop SDK 1.0 is now available! Scoreloop is the leading cross-platform social gaming ecosystem with over 120 million users, offering developers a fully-flexible set of tools to power their games with social gaming features including Leaderboards, Achievements, Player Challenges and Player Profiles. The SDK is fully customizable, allowing developers to choose as few or as many features as they want and build them seamlessly into the look and feel of the game.

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.

This version includes new APIs as well as new wizards. The Device Information API allows developers to use data on battery, phone, storage and more to alert users on resources. The LED service API will allow notifications in applications. Developers can take advantage of the BlackBerry PlayBook’s stereo sound with the Soundplayer API.
