Foursquare For BlackBerry received a minor update today.

Version 3.8.1 brings a few minor tweaks to the 3.8 milestone release, including:

• Download Let's Golf 2 HD for PlayBook in BB App World
  
• Discuss any findings/fixes in the forums

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.

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!

Now that the BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.0 is out and we can successfully run Android apps on the PlayBook, it's time for a top ten list of the best Android apps for the PlayBook. All of these apps in the list can be easily sideloaded, and have been tested for basic functionality.

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.
