41 free apps on Amazon!!

Magnetic_dudAndroid

If you have an Android phone probably you already heard of the Amazon Appstore and their free app of the day.

To be honest, when I had my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide, maybe due to the low memory available for apps, I tried it for a few days and then uninstalled it.

Now that I have a BlackBerry Z10, even if I can download apps from Google Play, I decided to try to find alternative ways to get apps and the Amazon Appstore looks perfect.

Yesterday night I open it to see what’s the free app of the day and I see that… the free apps, until tomorrow, are 41!!! So many!!

I stayed up until 2 am downloading apps 😂

Finally BB10 for the PlayBook!

bb10

Yes!!! It’s here!!! Finally, after one long year, BB10 for the PlayBook it’s here!!! Here are the new additions:

  • Runtime Android 4.2
  • USB Host and Dropbox/Box/Onedrive support
  • BB10 Keyboard
  • BBM
  • Cascades
  • + but still the same PlayBook design!!!

Quick, download it!!!

Update: this is an April’s fool. The BlackBerry PlayBook has been declared EOL and won’t get any more updates. Killed, will ever have this “half-baked” operating system. What a pity. 😢 But after more than 3 years, how we can pretend to get an update? Other brands stop giving updates after a few months…
