Three IRC Clients for the BlackBerry PlayBook (So Far!)
One of the areas I have always missed on my BlackBerry is the lack of a solid IRC (Internet Relay Chat) client. I tend to find some great advice on IRC and usually have to fire up a laptop or desktop to access it properly. We do have one or two clients for BlackBerry smartphones…
