I’m not a golf lover in real life but what I am partial to is a golf game on mobile devices. Let’s Golf 2 recently arrived for the BlackBerry PlayBook and although I have used the game on iOS before I knew that downloading it for the PlayBook was a must.
If you want realism from a golf game then Let’s Golf isn’t the one you want. It is not designed to be real but more good fun. The characters are more cartoonish than real people but that said it is still a fantastic game and not as complicated as some golf games on other platforms.
You can see a demo of the game below:
Another simple yet addictive game for the BlackBerry PlayBook. Burn The City uses a similar concept to Angry Birds yet in a very different way.
You think you’d like to burn the city? Wanton destruction is easier than ever in Burn The City. Unleash the monster within in this fiery puzzle game that has you demolishing cities for points. Spit fireballs to raze buildings and send those puny humans packing. It’s not just about flinging fire, though-rack up combos for bonus points by exploiting the surrounding environment and maximizing power- …
For 99 pence this one is a real bargain. Dozens and dozens of fun yet challenging levels to be completed. The first time I played it I couldn’t put it down and made it through 28 levels first go.
You can see a brief demo video below:
For power-users, the new Asus Transformer Prime Android tablet could very well become the new "de facto standard" by which a host of Android tablets are compared to throughout the beginning of next year. The new power-house flagship tablet will be sporting the new NVIDIA Tegra 3 Quad-Core processor, and could possibly be the first tablet with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Even if it comes with Honeycomb, it is likely that it will get an update to ICS very shortly.
Also, it is likely coming very soon as it’s website landing page has just gone Live! There are no details on pricing or availability yet.

I do like a good car game and they don’t come much more fun than Reckless Racing. The game popped up in BlackBerry App World for the PlayBook earlier this week and I knew I just had to download it.
I have played the game before on iOS but I don’t think you can beat playing games on a 7 inch tablet. The PlayBook gives you a big screen but not too big that your thumbs cant get to the important parts of the screen.
Reckless Racing offers three styles of game in one. Hours of fun to be had here.
You can see a brief demo below:
Samsung has gone and gotten all official by release date for their Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, the successor to the 7-inch model launched around this time last year. The new device will see a dual-core CPU upgrade and Android Honeycomb. Pre-orders are set to being October 23rd, the 7.0 Plus will land on shelves November 13th with the 16GB model retailing for $399.99. Samsung is pushing TV connectivity with the slate, which comes pre-loaded with Peel and has an IR transmitter built in to remotely control your boob tube. See the full press release below.
Here’s the press release, note there is no mention of Ice Cream Sandwich however.
Google today debuted a new movie rental store in the Android Marketplace in addition to the ability to purchase books. UK Android users will have 1,000 films to begin with, starting around £2.49. The rental period lasts 30 days and the movie will be available on any connected device the user logs into. That means the user’s Android smartphone, tablet, and even the computer can be used to watch the movie. Sounds brilliant however, once the user starts watching a film, they get 48 hours to finish. If you don’t finish in the 48-hour window, you will have to pay again.
At present the selection of movies is varied. However, as a debut the selection is pretty good. It all seems to link back to your Youtube account.
This week sees the release of two great games for the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play. You can find the details below.

INC
INC is an original title from Orange Pixel, considered one of the finest independent developers in mobile gaming today.
The game features simple gameplay within a unique, cartoon style post-apocalyptic setting. It offers an addictive platform gaming experience- shoot anything and everything that gets in your way! Watch the game in action here below:
Vodafone have just added three new handsets to their Data Test Drive programme. This allows customers that purchase or upgrade to Smartphones to have unlimited data for the first three months of their contract so that they can assess the usage of their new phone without the risk of those potentially high data bills.
This is a great idea as it allows those that are new to Smartphones to really try out their capabilities while not being obsessive over watching their usage while the get used to it.
Full release follows:
We posted images of this funny looking BlackBerry a while ago. It turns out it is actually real. TBreak.com have received an invite to attend an event in Dubai where Porsche will unveil the collaboration device.
I dread to think how much this one is going to cost but I can certainly say this is one BlackBerry I do not want. Personally i think it looks horrid!
You can see the invite below and please feel free to let us know your thoughts via the Facebook link at the base of the post.
