BB10 Brainstorming: Active Frames



I’m sure most of us love how we could swipe up to close an app on the PlayBook. But on BB10, due to how the Active Frames has 2 vertical pages to scroll up and down, the same gesture can’t be implemented. And swiping to the left brings in the Hub, and the right apps. So pretty much up, down, left, and right are all taken.

Old School Console Games on BB10



Inspired by the post on CrackBerry, I gave RetroArch a go to try and experience some childhood nostalgia.

Running these emulators is something that has been around for quite a well, but this time there is finally one on BB10 that I think works well enough.

Virtual Keyboards: Past to Present


Today’s post is dedicated to the advancements in Virtual Keyboard technology, and how far they have come. Also, my answer to the penultimate question of “Z10, or Q10?”.
