How To Check For App & Game Updates on BlackBerry 10 (BlackBerry World)
BlackBerry 10 will automatically check for new updates to your apps every once in awhile but if you want to manually check there is a nice little feature hidden in BlackBerry World.

How to Export Your Outlook Contacts to Gmail, Yahoo, or Outlook.com
Many consumers have stopped using Microsoft’s Outlook solution as it continues to not support new and non-proprietary standards.

BlackBerry 10 Retains “Mark Prior Read” & “Delete Prior” Options
One of the first things I missed when I started using BlackBerry 10 was the ability to “Mark Prior Read” and “Delete Prior.” For some reason no other mobile OS has managed to add such a simple function and I thought we had lost it in BlackBerry 10. Thankfully I asked Annu Dawar @BlackBerry and…
BlackBerry 10 “Play On” DLNA Support is a Beautiful Thing
We have been waiting for full on DLNA support on BlackBerry for awhile now since BlackBerry first joined the DLNA group. We saw parts of it creep up in BlackBerry 7.1 but it truly starts shining on BlackBerry 10. In the video, pictures, and music app on BlackBerry 10 you now have the option to…
How to Save ANY Password in the BlackBerry 10 Browser (Bookmarklet)
I just covered how happy I was to learn that Bookmarklets work like a charm on the BlackBerry 10 browser. With that said I had to try out the one bookmarklet that I use the most on both my PC and now my phone. The bookmarklet is called Remember Passwords by Stephen Ostermiller. The reason…
