Memory4Kidz: Is This The First BlackBerry PlayBook Game Listed In BlackBerry AppWorld?

by 2 Comments

With Research in Motion giving away a BlackBerry PlayBook to every developer that gets a PlayBook application accepted into BlackBerry App World, we knew that there would be no shortage of applications once the PlayBook gets released.  What we didn’t know was that RIM would display PlayBook applications so far in advance of it’s release.  That being said, Memory4Kidz may be the first BlackBerry PlayBook game listed in BlackBerry App World.

Memor4Kidyz is a simple memory game that allows children to focus on the basics of colors, numbers and shapes by choosing the appropriate game type. Parents can also sit with their kids and help them learn along the way.

Free BlackBerry PlayBook Offer For BlackBerry Tablet App Developers

by Leave a Comment

We’ve mentioned a time or two before that that Research in Motion is giving away a BlackBerry PlayBook tablet to any developer that gets a BlackBerry PlayBook application accepted into BlackBerry App World by the time the PlayBook launches, however, with the announcement that BlackBerry App World is now accepting PlayBook apps for submission, we figured that we should mention it again.

Free BlackBerry PlayBook offer overview

Developers who create a qualifying application for the BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet prior to its initial North American release are eligible for a free BlackBerry PlayBook tablet. The main criterion to qualify for the free BlackBerry PlayBook tablet offer is to have a qualifying application accepted into BlackBerry App World™, subject to certain Terms and Conditions.

You can submit multiple BlackBerry PlayBook tablet apps into BlackBerry App World, but each BlackBerry App World vendor will only qualify for one free BlackBerry PlayBook tablet. Apps will need to meet the BlackBerry App World Vendor Guidelines.

Check Out This Fantasy Football App Developed For The BlackBerry PlayBook

by Leave a Comment

Digital solutions company, Universal Minds, has developed a pretty slick looking Fantasy Football app for the BlackBerry PlayBook.  The app was built entirely using the Adobe Flash Builder and the BlackBerry Tablet OS SDK.

The app we developed was a Fantasy Football application—the goal was for it to be both fun and easy to use. It was entirely built using Adobe Flash Builder and the BlackBerry SDK. The workflow allowed us to deploy a working tablet application in days with full touch and gesture interactions that you would expect in a tablet device.

The fact that there are already thousands of developers that know how to develop Adobe Air applications, the potential for a lot of quality BlackBerry PlayBook apps to be ready even before the PlayBook launches is great.  With RIM giving a BlackBerry PlayBook to every developer that gets an application accepted into BlackBerry App World, that great potential is almost a certainty.
