A new app is out that allows you to copy your iTunes collection to your BlackBerry PlayBook. This is a nice easy way to get all of your songs from iTunes to your PlayBook. Currently it does not support copying music from your PlayBook to your PC. The cost is a deal at $0.99.

Software description from the vendor:

If you're like me, keeping your mobile devices up-to-date with your latest music purchases is a hassle. I've always wished it was a simple as pressing a button -- and now it is. iTunes Sync allows you to copy your iTunes collection from your Windows PC to your BlackBerry® PlayBook™ with the press of a button, no wires, no hassle.

Download a new song on your PC? No problem, just open iTunes Sync on your BlackBerry® PlayBook™ and press 'Sync', and that track will be copied onto your BlackBerry® PlayBook™ wirelessly in seconds.Download all of your music, or use features that allow you greater control over what music gets copied to your BlackBerry® PlayBook™.

NOTE: iTunes Sync does not yet copy music from your BlackBerry® PlayBook™ to your PC.

The topic of syncing email data like calendar and contacts to a BlackBerry device seems to come up quite frequently. I was reminded of this from a blog post from RIM, that also showed some steps on how to do this. So I decided to follow suite and write up a quick tutorial for everyone here. So I hope this will help someone. The first think you will want to check is your software version, as the version must be OS 5.0 or higher. If you find yourself with a lower OS version than OS 5.0 then you will want to take a look at our download section and see if there is an update for your device. Then take a look at our all in one guide to upgrade your device.

Since the BBX OS was first announced at Devcon Americas back in Oct there has been a lot of hype as to what the new design of the BBX Superphone will look like. So far there has been two possible codenamed devices, the London and Colt, but nothing as far as a visual until last week when a picture of the BlackBerry London was leaked online. Keep in mind that this photo has not been confirmed by RIM, yet there have been a few sites claiming that their own "unconfirmed" sources have "confirmed" the photo as legit... figure that one out. But does the recently leaked picture of the London really depict what we have heard about the upcoming BBX device so far, and how it will look? I happen to believe the BBX-like phone design in the above pic will be closer to the final product, and here is why...

A few weeks ago we gave you a report with details from the BlackBerry Innovation Forum 2011 in Washington, DC. Unfortunately we were not able to snag any pictures from the event that showcased some of the new features of the upcoming PlayBook OS 2.0. However the folks over at blackberrycool were able to capture a few shots of the native email contacts and calendar. This confirms what we already reported and promises a huge change in the way we will be able to utilize the PlayBook.

GMail App For BlackBerry Being Depreciated As Of Today

While most users will just directly set-up their Gmail email accounts directly on their devices, it seems that Google still had a native Gmail app kickin' around that many users were using.

As of today, Google will end support for the Gmail App for Blackberry.

Beginning November 22, 2011, we will end support for the Gmail App for Blackberry (installed native app). Over this past year, we've focused efforts on building a great Gmail experience in the mobile browser and will continue investing in this area.

Users may continue to use the app, if installed, however it will not be supported by Google, or available for download starting November 22. BlackBerry users can continue to access Gmail through the mobile web app at http://www.gmail.com in their BlackBerry web browser.

You might ask yourselves why they've made this decision? Well, if you've recently visited the Gmail mobile site, you'll notice that their HTML5 page makes this app look outdated.
