Earlier this month RIM officially launched a new program called BlackBerry Balance that is designed to help business users separate their work from play eliminating the need have multiple BlackBerry devices. Alec Taylor, VP of Platform Product Marketing at RIM, explains the basics in understanding the recently announced BlackBerry Balance solution for smartphone users in the enterprise. If you aren't sure what BlackBerry Balance is, or if the program relates to you, then you'll want to see the video interview (see above).

BlackBerry just released a new commercial showing off the PlayBook's ability to use Adobe Flash for a awesome browser experience. If you haven't had a hands on with the PlayBook's browser, I suggest you head to your nearest PlayBook retailer and get a demo of Adobe Flash in action. The PlayBook currently runs Adobe Flash v10.2. Can the iPad do that? Not a chance!

RIM has just announced that BIS will be updated to 4.0, the first update we've seen for some time now. The features of BIS 4 will include:

Automatic Login Improvements
Language Support - Vietnamese and Hindi
Google Calendar Synchronization Improvements
Secret Question Changes
Windows Live Integration Re-validation removal

Looks like half of those improvements are improvements to security, while there will be new languages installed-Hindi and Vietnamese. Glad to see RIM isn't neglecting BIS.

Well, this should come as a good surprise to all music lovers: Pandora for BlackBerry has just been updated to v1.1.9. Pandora selects the station you listen to, all you need to do is enter the name of your favorite artist, band, or even song - and Pandora searches for a radio station that provides that kind of music. The full app description can be read below:

Considering how solid the hardware is on the PlayBook, it seems there was a problem batch of about 1,000 PlayBook tablets that were shipped to Staples stores. I imagine that Staples will be fairly quick to set things straight for those who have the infected tablets. Below is the spreadsheet of all 935 alleged serial numbers for you to check against your own. It looks like they all start with 13430xxxxxxx.

Miso has released their BlackBerry PlayBook app. For those of you not familiar with Miso, it is a media check in application for TV and movies, much like GetGlue. Miso's PlayBook app is pretty bare bones, only allowing you to check in and select favorites. Future versions will include FaceBook and Twitter support. Miso goes for the very low price of FREE!

Tungle.me is the first stand alone calendar app for the BlackBerry Playbook, now available in the Blackberry App World. It supports Outlook, Google Calendar, Apple iCal, Entourage for Mac, Lotus Notes, Yahoo! and Windows Live. The only downside, is that you are only able to view your calendar, editing is not supported on the Playbook. You can sign up for account at Tungle.me.com.

Orb- stream media from your PC/Mac to your web enabled device, in this case the Blackberry Playbook. Once you set up Orb, you will be able to view all of your media on your Playbook, now matter where you are, as long as you have a WiFi connection. The great thing about Orb is that it cost your nothing. Watch the, "How To" video and Download Orb for your computer. Next, pick up the Orb Launcher from the Blackberry App World. I have been testing this for a few days and the only issue I have come up with, is the font, which is discussed in the video. Be sure to let us know how Orb works for you!

With the BBM social platform development tools now in open beta, we are starting to see more and more developers utilizing BBM integration into their apps. Now there is a upcoming app for all you sports fans out there called ScoreMobile for BlackBerry that has integrated the BBM feature. The app was showcased by Five Mobile last week at BlackBerry World 2011. In the video above, Jeff from Five Mobile shows us how they’re leveraging the BBM social platform to make sports fandom a more social experience via status updates and BBM chat.

Now you can message your BBM friends to make sure they don't forget that your team is kicking their team's butt. Go ahead, rub it in with this new feature, but don't be surprised if you see your BBM contacts list start to diminish. You can download ScoreMobile for free in BlackBerry App World.

Rumor: Is this what App World v3 will look like?

So, we've seen that App World for BlackBerry devices will be updated to version 3 in July or August, but have we seen what it will look like? The answer is, now, yes. The guys over at BBnews have just showed us a screenshot of what looks to be App World v3, and I gotta say, it looks much better than the existing App World User Interface.

If you do not know what App World is, it is an application portal where almost every BlackBerry application can be accessed and downloaded.

BBnews claims that App World v3 will have the following features:

The latest online store with applications that integrates with BlackBerry Messenger to a large extent, allowing instant and much more powerful "sharing" of valuable items.
You can pay for paid applications using your Carrier's phone bill, which is for consumers who do not have an existing PayPal, or whom do not want to register for one.
A 'special' section for corporate consumers

All in all, this looks like a great update for App World. I can't wait to see it on my BlackBerry!
