Dolphin Browser HD officially arrives for the BlackBerry PlayBook

Yes, we know. Dolphin Browser HD was previously available in BlackBerry App World for the BlackBerry PlayBook but after some hoopla about it being put there by Handster it was subsequently removed. With that little issue now cleared up, the folks from MoboTap have officially released Dolphin Browser HD into BlackBerry App World and if you're looking to try out a new browser Dolphin may have the features you're looking for:

Gesture - Let your inner artist out and create a personal Gesture (symbol) to access the mobile and desktop websites you use the most.Webzine - Fast Web page loading, with no ads. Dolphin Webzine simplifies the way you read your favorite mobile content, from news to blogs and websites. Speed Dial - Visit you favorite mobile and desktop websites on the go with one touch.Tabbed browsing - No need to toggle between screens, tabbed browsing lets you open and switch between Web pages fast as lightning.SideBars - Make the best of mobile interface via Dolphin SideBar. 

Personally, I'm a fan of Dolphin Browser HD on my Android device but for the PlayBook, I have no issues with the native web browser but differentiation is good. Give Dolphin a go and see how you like it, I'm sure the folks from MoboTap will appreciate the feedback.

Leap into adventure with Frogatto for the BlackBerry PlayBook!

Last week at the Game Developers Conference, Research In Motion showed off a fun modification of the BlackBerry Remote, using it to control a game on a PlayBook that was displayed on a larger TV. Of course, the main story was about the modification, which was actually a d-pad controller designed by an engineer at RIM. However, there was a lot of discussion surrounding the game that was being played in the picture, and with a little research (thanks @Alexkinsella!) we found out the name of the game was Frogatto.

This game is a classic side-scroll 2D platform game where you are Frogatto, a cute little frog on a mission to find, of all things, a job. Along the way to the town you will find adventure as well as things to buy, puzzles you have to solve, and more!  There are a ton of levels, and lots to do and see in the game so this is one that should keep you occupied for some time. It's also great for all ages though there is a bit of reading involved so younger kids may need a bit of help.

Features:

grab enemies with your tongue and spit them to deal damagebuy powerups to enhance and unlock new abilitiesarcade mode, giving instant access to action-only gameplay on randomized levelsforgiving savegame/respawn system so you don't have to be afraid of losing progressplayful dialogue writing that tries not to insult your intelligencemassive soundtrack with over an hour of original musicsprawling, complex world with over 50 levels to explore, and tons of secrets to find

Developed by Lost Pixel, Frogatto wasn't available last week when we saw the demo, but as of today you can pick it up in BlackBerry App World for $4.99 for your BlackBerry PlayBook (which is the same as it would cost for an iOS device, by the way).
