I recently launched a FREE app for Blackberry Playbook called Confidential manager. It essentially speeds up the time taken for online purchases, by storing all your Credit / Debit card numbers in one place. All you need to do is swipe between apps and copy-paste the numbers.

Most of us being Actionscript 3 or Flex developers, very often require quick access to adobe documentation. After CS4, the docs don’t come along with the IDE.

But this one, created by friends at office Mitch Ellis, is someway different. He has aggressively used colors, alphas and tweens to [...]
Christophe Coenraets here demonstrates execution of the employee database application developed in Flex, on three devices viz – Android phone, Samsung Tab and the Playbook tablet. See the video here -
This is amazing news indeed. Its has been feature talk with many of clients and colleagues all long for many years. Currently almost any text a user can see as they interact with a SWF file on your site can be indexed by Googlebot and used to generate a snippet or match query terms in Google searches.
