A few days ago I posted the first picture of the BlackBerry App World running on the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet, taken at CES 2011. At first glance there doesn’t seem to be anything special other than this being the first image showing the App World on the PlayBook, but a friend of mine pointed something out that will surely excite many of you. If you look at the image above you’ll notice it shows a bunch of applications like BBM, MSN Messenger, Facebook and others, but it turns out the PlayBook will also be getting a Skype application.

Considering a dedicated Skype app has only been available for BlackBerry smartphones on the Verizon Wireless network, this is a significant development. While this doesn’t mean the Skype app will be available on smartphones not on Verizon’s network anytime soon, at least PlayBook owners will be able to enjoy video chatting/conferencing since distribution isn’t limited to certain carriers.

Knowing that Skype will be available on the PlayBook tablet, would you get it if certain BlackBerry apps were only available for the PlayBook, or are you getting it regardless?

BlackBerry Virtual PlayBook On Facebook – See What Your Social Life Looked Like In 2010!

user posted image

RIM just added a cool new web app to their “Tablet” tab on their Facebook page. The web app is called “Your Life On Playbook” and gathers all your Facebook profile info, updates, pictures, videos and more in 2010 and displays them in various ways including an autobiography.This Virtual PlayBook also shows you some of its capabilities with a WebKit browser preview, videos and photo album using your Facebook photos.

It was kind of weird seeing my 2010 summarized in this way but also interesting. If you want to check yours out go to apps.facebook.com/yourlifeonplaybook!

they better not go over 2k. If they want to be competitive, it has to be reasonable and cheap

The PlayBook is so cool! Was contemplating on getting the Samsung Tab, but now i'd rather wait and get this awesome device!

Cant wait for it to hit the Malaysian shores, wanna test it out, get a feel of it.
