    The popular sports game by Gameloft, Let's Golf 2 HD, has been updated to v2.0 for the BlackBerry PlayBook. If you read the reviews it looks like users were experiencing a lot of issues with random crashes during game play. I bet this update takes care of that and may add some UI adjustments among other features. You can purchase this game for only $2.99 in App World. Get updated or installed and let us know what you notice in the comments!

    Back at CES 2012, RIM showed us that Zinio would soon be coming to the PlayBook. I've patiently awaited the arrival of this app, & was happy when Zinio today announced via their official Twitter account that we should expect to see the app in mid-March.

    If you are not familiar with Zinio, it's the world's largest digital newsstand and bookstore.

    Zinio has confirmed on many occasions that tons of PlayBook users emailed them asking for this app to be ported to PlayBook.

    Will you be downloading Zinio once it launches?

    If you're like me, you are very picky when it comes to choosing a theme for your cherished BlackBerry device. Over the past few months, I've tried several different themes on my BlackBerry Bold 9900 & few actually stood out to me like MINI_banner did!

    This theme is made by _Lucky45 & drkapprentice. It started off as just another basic OS 7 theme, but with a smaller banner. With recent updates to this theme on February 20th, they've upped it to become stellar theme (& the first theme) with PlayBook 2.0 icons!

    We had originally planned to post this theme update earlier today, but luckily we got word this evening that the theme had once again been updated, this time to v2.0.18 which includes a RED glowing banner for missed calls & new emails.

    SwiftKey Keyboard Used In BlackBerry Playbook OS 2.0 Update

    When RIM decided to go all out with tweaking PlayBook OS 2.0, they seem to have called for the help of SwiftKey, one of the most popular third-party Android keyboard developers, to tweak their keyboard.

    How do we find out about this? Well, SwiftKey has openly discussed several Easter Eggs bundled in its autocorrect system: If you type in “Ben”, you'll see the first suggestion is “Medlock,” the SwiftKey’s CTO. It is to be noted that the keyboard adapts to your writing styles over time. If your name is also Ben, and you constantly enter your last name, it will replace “Medlock” at some point with your last name.

    Let's hope to see the split-screen thumb SwiftKey keyboard in a future OS 2.0 update!

    If you are like me, and check for all the newest apps and games all the time on BlackBerry App World, you may have noticed a recent anomaly going on. Since the PlayBook OS 2.0 launched last week with the new capability to run Android apps, fart apps have been popping up (pun intended) at a alarming rate. Remember, these are some of the stomach pains (pun intended again) that the iPhone AppStore and Android AppMarket had to endure before changing their guidelines. This must be the official christening before becoming a official force in the consumer app market. So let's hope that RIM get's enough fart apps to be able to change their app guidelines in the near future. In the meantime, head over to AppWorld and download your fart apps before they fade away!

    Cut The Rope just got a update to v1.1.0 recently. The update file size is more than double, but I've yet to find out what exactly the changelog is. Could be some OS 2 compatibility or perhaps some UI improvements. Get updated and be sure to let us know any of any findings/fixes you may discover! You can pick this awesome game up in App World for only $2.99.

    Ever since Mike Kirkup resigned from his post as Director of Dev Relations at RIM, we have been keeping an eye on what his next career move will be via the Mike Kirkup blog. As of yesterday, Mike has officially revealed what he has been hard at work creating - NextUp Labs.

    NextUp Labs provides consulting services for early stage start-ups in the consumer web and mobile space to compliment existing teams. In short, NextUp Labs helps people turn their ideas into great businesses. Mike expands in his introduction:

    "I believe entrepreneurs can use a partner who is directly aligned with their interests every step of the way. So, I created NextUp Labs to fill that role. Instead of accepting a fee for service, we want to help companies by sharing in their success through revenue share and equity."
    I for one think this is a great idea as you don't have to fork our big bucks to take the risk in starting your dream business. I couldn't think of anyone more qualified to work with than Mike, as he was responsible for managing the technical relationships and programs for RIM’s developer community worldwide for several years. Mike is also the Director of VeloCity, a University of Waterloo startup incubator. Be sure to follow NextUp Labs on Twitter for updates, and let us know if you become a partner!

    The release of PlayBook 2.0 brought so many new features to the PlayBook. Perhaps one of its best features is its ability to run Android apps. This is a feature that many have been waiting a long time for. Unfortunately many of these apps have not made it into BlackBerry App World yet. This could be for many reasons, part of the issue is the amount of time it takes to get an app approved. RIM is notorious for a lengthy app approving process.

    In the meantime, there is another way to get all of these nice apps on to your PlayBook. This method is called "sideloading". It requires Android apps that have been properly converted from their native .APK files to .BAR files; to be sideloaded using a third party tool.
