Apps, Apples and Berries.

Apps, versus a competent browswer.

It is a known fact that Apple has the most amount of apps available for their iOS devices. It is also a known fact that RIM has a minute amount of apps for their BBOS devices, even lesser on their PlayBook.

Some PlayBook owners may argue that when you have a competent browser, the need for apps are greatly reduced, especially with the advent of html5 and the support of flash on the PlayBook. But I really don’t think thats the case, especially in a mobile device.

BlackBerry Goodness.

Just messing around trying to come up with a look for the BB10 with physical keyboard as that is the BB10 phone that i’m really looking forward to. Drew inspiration from ‘Milan’ Slider and PlayBook. The PlayBook is the only device on QNX currently so i thought it would be nice if the new BB10 devices share similar design cues. I lifted the keyboard from the bold 99XX (best keyboard ever!) and made only very subtle changes to its design to suit the more squarish look of the device. The back is the same material as the PlayBook, grippy and doesn’t leave much fingerprints.
