Free AndroIRC IRC Client Ported to the BlackBerry PlayBook (Android)
The Android Player on the BlackBerry PlayBook just brought us another useful port. This time we have AndroIRC which is a free IRC client. Its pretty feature packed which is nice though I really wish we had a good native IRC client… I have not had a chance to really put AndroIRC through its paces…
Stuff File Manager for the PlayBook With DropBox Support
We mentioned Files & Folders adding SugarSync support earlier in the week and one of our readers, Jnorth, pointed out that there is a similar app called Stuff. Stuff is a easy to use file manager for the PlayBook that also adds access to your DropBox account. It has been around for awhile now but…
RIM Explains How They “Manage BlackBerry Jailbreak Issues”
RIM has had some of its stellar security record tarnished when the BlackBerry PlayBook was jailbroken. The current versions of the OS have been holding up but users are still downgrading to gain root access.

Sketch W Friends Multiplayer Pictionary Game Gets Free Trial
We mentioned Sketch W Friends earlier in the month as a cross platform mix between Pictionary and Charades for the PlayBook, iOS, and Android.

LocalBar 2 Allows You To Sideload Apps to Your PlayBook Without a PC
Yohanes Nugroho is at it again with a new version of his original LocalBar app. The new LocalBar app gets around RIM’s block of the original LocalBar app method by using a proxy to fool the PlayBook into thinking an app is being sideloaded from a PC. Yohanes has provided a proxy that you can…
Modern Combat 2: Black Pegasus Bumps Up to v3.0 on the PlayBook
Gameloft (or RIM) has updated the popular (and currently free) Modern Combat 2 Black Pegasus HD to v3.0 from the previous v2.0. That is a big bump but the download size seems to be the same. Hopefully they fixed the really annoying bug on one of the levels where the walls and my character float…
