It’s a good thing I didn’t do the OS leak for the Torch from last week, otherwise I would of been pretty upset to have to go through it once again.  With that said, the BlackBerry Torch 9800 got two OS leaks in the last two weeks along with some other devices as well.  It is a leak so download and install at your own risk!

Most of you who wanted to pre-order the BlackBerry PlayBook already did.  A few weeks ago we let you know that OfficeMax officially announced the BlackBerry PlayBook to be available in all US stores.  Last Friday, they announced that they are now officially accepting pre-orders for the tablet.  Again, it might be too late, but for those still hanging around or preferred to deal with OfficeMax, you can pre-order as early as today.  As you know it, the PlayBook starts at $499.99 for the 16GB model.  Hit the jump for the full press release from OfficeMax.

The BlackBerry Mobile Conferencing application launched in Beta Zone on Friday, making conference calls work a breeze on the BlackBerry.  This was quite a random application to release, which some felt should just be integrated with the next OS 6.1.  Surely this app is great for business users, but we’d like to get an idea of how many exactly tried the application out, finding interest of some sort in it.  Cast your votes in the poll, drop us a line the comments, or tweet us!

Looks like RIM’s BlackBerry Traffic has been update. BlackBerry Traffic gives you the ability to get an ETA for any trip you plan. Share your ETA with whoever you maybe meeting with (clients, friends, family, co-workers). The only requirements for BlackBerry Traffic is that you have BlackBerry Maps and a BlackBerry that has GPS.

We got to see the BlackBerry Bold Touch 9930 in live action this weekend for roughly 20 seconds.  We had seen images before, but never really saw an actual hands on video in the past.  Based on what we saw in the comments, some were disappointed that the screen was still too small to have a touchscreen.  Icons remain to be the same and don’t seem “touch friendly.”  For example, the BlackBerry Torch 9800 clearly has larger icons, formatted better for touch around and swipe.  The Bold Touch gets a smaller screen, and the icons are the same proportion they were before on the non touch Bold.  Will this make it harder to select items and things of that nature?

Aloft is a new theme by Tattooz BB Themes giving your BlackBerry homescreen a whole new face lift.  As you can see above, you get all your indicators on the left side including Profiles, battery meter, signal meter, time, date, and two applications right underneath.  There’s a hidden dock that pops up with fifteen icons.  The icons appear by pressing the 0 button and goes visible again when you push the Back (escape) key.  It is recommended to disable “Dial from Homescreen” to make the theme work better.

You also get the latest OS 6.1 style icons, which seems to be very trendy nowadays.  Aloft is only 99 cents to buy.  Click the link below to read more about it, check out more screenshots, or to purchase.

So far we have WordMaster in English, and late last week we saw it in Italian as well.  Now Spanish has been added, and we’re really not sure if there are languages coming in the future.  As a quick recap, WordMaster is a game identical to Boggle, where you put words together.  The letters are all layed out on blocks, and to make a word the letters must touch.

It looks like you can still get a buck off WordMaster, as we see a $3.99 price tag on it still.  Click the link below to grab a copy.

Adobe and RIM have been working together on the BlackBerry PlayBook, bringing full Flash support to the tablet.  We’ve seen many demos of the PlayBook from Adobe, and SDKs left and right for application development.  Today they officially announce the Adobe PhotoShop Touch SDK, which includes the BlackBerry PlayBook.  Hit the jump for the full press release from Adobe!

It’s no surprise that a leaked hands on video has surfaced for the BlackBerry Bold Touch 99xx.  We’ve seen leaked images and spec sheets, so it was time for a clip.  We personally wanted to see more hands-on, but you’ll get a good idea of how the touchscreen action is on the Bold Touch here.
