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:
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.

The iPhone 4S has certainly had more hype than any other phone this year. With Apple keeping so tight lipped it was left up to the rumor squad to predict if we would indeed get an iPhone 4S or the iPhone 5.
Although the iPhone 4S looks just like the iPhone 4 it does have some great new features under the hood. Powered by a 1 GHz dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor, PowerVR SGX543MP2 GPU, Apple A5 chipset the device is way quicker than its predecessor.
Vodafone have kindly sent us over an iPhone 4S to use for a while. In the unboxing video below I have kept things short and sweet as I thought we had better get a bit more familiar with Siri and some other new features before going into to much detail.
So you can see the video below along with the full specs and we will have another demo video online later in the week.
Following on from our video of the HTC Titan from a few days ago we now have our hands on the HTC Radar. Smaller than the HTC Titan the Radar is a slightly more pocketable 3.8″ but has the same Windows Phone 7.5 Mango operating system.
The HTC Radar is similar to the HTC Mozart from last year with a slightly larger screen and updated OS, the other specs are much the same. However, The HTC Radar offers a premium design. Crafted from a single piece of polished metal, the phone just feels great in your hands and is built to last.
Full review coming up soon but you can check out the unboxing video below.
I will be honest with you and say that I don’t find a great number of games on the BlackBerry PlayBook that I really like. Over the past few weeks though a number of new ones from popular games companies have cropped up so things are looking positive for gaming on QNX.
This week in App World saw the arrival of Modern Combat 2: Black Pegasus, which is a game i absolutely love, so I shelled out the £6.99 for it knowing it would keep me occupied for hours and hours. Having played the game previously on the iPhone I knew what fun I would have and I was also interested to see how it performed on the BlackBerry PlayBook.
I wasn’t disappointed. It is fast, looks great and sounds wonderful using the PlayBooks awesome speakers.
You can see a brief video demo below:
The HTC Titan is currently the companies flagship Windows Phone running Mango. It’s a real monster with a 4.7 inch screen and powered by a 1.5 GHz processor. The size may be a little large for some people but if you are big into media and web browsing on your Smartphone then you are going to love the Titan.
Capable of shooting video in 720P HD, packing an 8MP camera and with 16GB of internal storage the Titan will be great for you photography types.
We will of course put all of its features to the test in our full review but in the meantime you can see the full specification below along with the unboxing video.
With the imminent launch of the iPhone 4S and the new Siri feature that will allow you to use voice commands I persuaded myself to download Vlingo Plus for my BlackBerry. I used Vlingo a couple of years ago but the speech to text was a bit hit and miss. I am pleased to say that things have improved greatly now and as you will see in the demo video the application will allow you to perform a wide range of tasks on your phone without having to type.
Vlingo is not just a BlackBerry application. You can also get it for iPhone, Android, Nokia and Windows Mobile.
Tell your phone what to do! The Vlingo Virtual Assistant turn your words into action. Vlingo combines voice to text technology with its "intent engine" to help you quickly complete your desired action. Simply speak to your phone or type a command through the ActionBar to get just about anything done while on the go.
You can see my demo video of Vlingo below:
We posted the other day that the Motorola Defy+ is now on sale and the chaps at Clove have been kind enough to send one over for review.
I reviewed the original Defy and the main selling points for me were it being shock, water, dust and scratch resistant. This new version of the Defy does most of those however it seems to have lost the shock resistance which is a real shame.
That said, it has had an upgrade to its processor, now at 1Ghz which will please buyers. Running Android 2.3 the Motorola Defy+ comes with a reasonable price tag of only £246.00 including VAT sim free.
We will of course have a full review of the device online in the near future but in the meantime you can see the unboxing video below:
The ZTE Libra is the new mid range Android Smartphone from Chinese technology company ZTE. The Libra has a simple, classic smartphone design with a capable 3.5 inch capacitive touchscreen and is powered by Android 2.2.2 Froyo and a 600MHz Qualcomm processor.
ZTE specialise in low budget, feature filled devices and the Libra is no exception. The vanilla Gingerbread installation is as lightweight on processing power and as customisable as Google originally intended, whilst the Flash enabled browser provides you access to rich web content. The 5.0 Megapixel auto focusing camera lets you take a sharp image under most conditions.
Available for £166.80 including VAT from Clove the Libra is pretty good value for money. You can see the unboxing video below along with the full specification.
Blaq has been around for some time on the BlackBerry PlayBook but recently got an update bringing some nice few features to the application.
As well as bug fixes the following features have been implemented so I thought I would give you a brief run through on video of the app. It is without doubt the best Twitter application on the device.
Application
- Refreshing new icon – Crisp lines, bold colors.
- Native notifications – Native notifications provide an easy way of knowing when you need to get back to Blaq. It’s also configurable. More on that later.
Main View
- Real-time Indicator – To make it easy to understand if your tweets are updating in real time, we’ve added a convenient indicator.
- Read without interruption – Timelines (Home, Mentions and Direct Messages) now pause once you being scrolling so you have a chance to catch up without new tweets pushing you down.
