FITC Toronto is in full swing. The event that was once called “Flash in the Can” has now extended itself to other developing platforms such as “HTML 5” and “Open Frameworks.” That isn’t to say that Adobe isn’t playing a major part at the event: The Adobe Keynote that happened last night was impressive, [...]

Y’all complained, Rovio finally delivered. This morning during the now infamous keynote, RIM’s co-CEO Mike Lazaridis confirmed what we have all been waiting for: Angry Birds is coming to the BlackBerry PlayBook. Availability and pricing are both still up in the air, but expect it to drop for the same $.99 that is sells for [...]

Since launching a few weeks ago, one missing feature of the PlayBook that has been speculated about is the email and calendar function; it only worked when bridged with a BlackBerry device. Leaving many users without a BlackBerry segregated from using the PlayBook, thus limiting the market largely. This morning during the day 2 keynotes, [...]

Despite what you may be thinking based on my last few posts, the talk around here isn’t ALL Bold 9900; RIM came out with some pretty big updates for the PlayBook as well. Not only do they plan on pushing out an OTA update to V.1.0.3 — skipping right past 1.0.1.1790 — but also bringing the [...]

Another big announcement this morning is something that has been chirped about since the PlayBook officially launched: an actual, functioning facebook application. RIM is stating a “knock out of the park” with this one and that the app has been fully optimized for the PlayBook’s 7″ screen and multi-touch display. More hands-on to come, but [...]

This morning Engadget noticed something funny on the MacMall webpage where they were selling PlayBooks. (Never mind the fact that the place is called MacMall and they’re selling BlackBerry products.) Seems they either have bad photoshoppers or magic pixie dust to make their PlayBooks run Android 3.0! The Engadget post was put up at 2:31am [...]

HTC has corrected itself and has made it known that the “Flyer” tablet would support the Android 3.0 Honeycomb operating system but would only be available a short time after the launch, which is scheduled for Q2 2011. Lenovo’s “Think Slate” has been shown recently, but it seems that they’re also developing another Honeycomb tablet. [...]

Well, folks, one thing we don’t have in Canada is a shortage of retail outlets where you can pick up the PlayBook from. That being said, Rogers has just joined the list of places as well. Prices are standard across the board with the 16GB, 32GB and 64GB coming in at $499, $599, and $699 respectively. [...]

Plastic Mobile and Rogers Sportsnet have joined forces to bring you the “Hockeycentral” application for the Blackberry Playbook. Although the Playbook’s release comes after the beginning of the post-season, the “Hockeycentral” app ensures you’ll make the most of the rest of the playoffs. Available for free, it promises to be a must-have for any hockey fan [...]

What do you do when you have a highly anticipated product set to launch in a matter of days — that has received some pretty harsh feedback from reviewers — and your Co-Ceo gets heated in an interview and storms off like he is a child? You go on Bloomberg news and dance around any [...]
