BlackBerry PlayBook gets unofficial iOS emulator

Android games and apps on a BlackBerry PlayBook? We have seen that already. But iOS software running on RIM's tablet? Now that is something new. What we have being demonstrated in the video below is an emulator that does exactly that, as far as we can tell. We have the TomTom app and several iOS games running on a PlayBook, and they appear to run as smoothly as they should.

Feeling a bit skeptical about all this, people more into PlayBook hacking have been trying to find whether the hack is genuine. Interestingly, it seems like it is legit. Yet the software is not available to the public right now, and there is no word as to whether it will ever be. Nevertheless, it is cool to see how much fun the hacking community is having. Now feel free to check out the video below and tell us what you think in the comments!

Third BlackBerry store in India opens

BlackBerry fever remains high in India, and RIM has decided to put supply where demand is by opening a third BlackBerry Store in the country. The store offers the entire BlackBerry product portfolio. In attendance at the opening were a couple of south Indian movie stars, Ms. Sumalatha Ambarish and Ms. Ruby Parihar. The store will be open for business seven days a week and RIM plans on opening more such locations in "key metro cities" in India. 

The launch of the BlackBerry Bold 9790 in Indonesia last November nearly caused a riot

Recently, the manufacturer was named the coolest overall brand of 2012, coolest cell phone and coolest hi-tech gadget in South Africa. Last November, a near riot broke out when the BlackBerry Bold 9790 was launched in Jakarta, Indonesia and the first 1,000 people online received a 50% discount. If RIM could only bottle what it is thatmakes the Canadian manufacturer such a hit in certain areas and put it in the water supply around the world.
