With the cost of the BlackBerry PlayBook dropping dramatically recently and with version 2.0 of the tablet OS arriving next month PlayBook sales could well be on the up.
I thought it may be worth showing you which apps and features I tend to use most on the PlayBook. We all use our Tablets differently and have different preferences but with web browsing and social networking being top of most peoples list you can see how I use the BlackBerry PlayBook to get my social fix.
Gaming too is fantastic on the PlayBook. With many big well known companies, such as Gameloft, now supporting the PlayBook you can expect to find some familiar titles within App World.

Razer have shown off a concept at CES that will easily excite a few PC gaming fanatics out there. Call Project Fiona, this is the first gaming tablet. Despite the fact that Project Fiona is a concept, Razer does plan to release the product. Reports suggest that it is targeting a Q4 2012 launch, priced under $1,000 (£650). Razer said that other gaming tablets are suitable for casual titles, but the limited navigation and control capabilities make them "impossible for hardcore PC gaming".
"Adapted from a full featured PC gamepad, Project Fiona’s integrated dual controllers coupled with its advanced multi-touch screen are designed to make complex game navigation ergonomic and intuitive without compromising on the portability of the tablet," said the firm on its website.
"You’ll be able to carry out headshots and command troops in-game with ease. This first-of-its-kind PC gaming tablet with integrated dual controllers is definitely not for playing casual games about unhappy birds or zombie-killing flora."

This game has been huge on the iPhone (it even won a BAFTA!) and we are now lucky enough to get it for the BlackBerry PlayBook. Cut The Rope is one of those addictive games that sucks you in, a bit like Angry Birds. This one requires a little more mental agility though. Maybe that is why I am not very good at it!
The little monster Om Nom is hungry and the only thing standing between him and a full belly is you – that is your help cutting the ropes that hold the candy he wants.
If you own the BlackBerry PlayBook then I think this app is a must. Perfect for those commutes to work or playing in bed. I must warn you though that a quick game may turn out to be not so quick!

Us tech geeks all know that QNX is what powers the BlackBerry PlayBook and that QNX itself is already used in many industries, including the motor trade.
Jacob from The Verge has been playing around in the QNX Porsche that is being shown off at CES in Las Vegas this week and it really goes to show the power, and advancements in technology that high end cars are going to be using in the future.
Essentially the Porsche concept car has a BlackBerry PlayBook mounted in its dashboard. However, it is not the ordinary PlayBook OS on board. Porsche have tweaked it to do some amazing things and many functions in conjunction with a BlackBerry Smartphone.
You can see the video below. It is awesome!
The HTC Explorer is the newest Android smartphone from HTC. HTC state that the Explorer is their most affordable smartphone coming in at the £150 mark it’s currently their least expensive (current) model.
The explorer is certainly small, a few millimetres shorter than the Wildfire and a little thinner than the Wildfire S whilst retaining the same 3.2″ HVGA screen size. Not surprisingly, the HTC Explorer doesn’t have the same aluminium construction as its more expensive counterparts, but instead has a rubberised back and edges that looks like an additional case around it.
There is a price to pay for the reduced cost of the HTC Explorer, the CPU is a somewhat limited 600MHz and available storage is just 90MB so you’ll be reaching for a MicroSD card pretty quickly. That said, as you can see in the benchmark in the video below, the Explorer seems to run at a reasonable pace and benefits from HTC Sense 3.5
Full review coming soon but for now here’s the unboxing and demo video.

Kevin from CrackBerry.com has been lucky enough to get hands on with OS 2.0 for the BlackBerry PlayBook over at the CES show in Las Vegas today. We posted the features of the new improved software just yesterday but now we can see exactly how cool these new improvements actually are.
With social integration throughout the email, contacts and calendar applications these new native features will really make us PlayBook users so so happy.
Another superb feature is using your BlackBerry Smartphone as a remote control for the PlayBook. One word: “amazing”.
If you don’t use/own a PlayBook I strongly urge you to watch the below videos. I think you will agree that RIM are making vast improvements with the tablet OS and I for one cant wait until next month when the new software version rolls out.
Thanks to CrackBerry.com for the following videos:
