I am always happy to see developers pushing harder against RIM’s walled garden of limiting PlayBook apps to only RIM approved apps unless they are sideloaded. The latest such effort is PlayBook App Manager by George J. It allows you to easily manage your PlayBook apps and add apps yourself from your Chrome or Firefox browser on your PC. I even checked it with my BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha and it works like a charm. The Chrome extension works much better but George has also kindly offered instructions for Firefox though the experience is subpar compared to Chrome.
PlayBook App Manager allows you to easily sideload apps from your browser. It also allows you to uninstall current apps, launch them, or terminate them from your browser. Check it out with all of the instructions at http://gridbook.org/pb-app-mgr/. Kudos to George for the great tool!
Thanks Mark for sending this one in via OSBB
