There’s nothing like ending the week off with some OS leaks.  Hopefully these aren’t the last of the day, but it’s a great start.  OS 6.0.0.570 leaked out early this morning for both the BlackBerry Bold 9780 and BlackBerry Curve 3G 9300.  The BlackBerry Torch 9800 got this update not too long ago as well.There’s no word on what’s new in these leaks so give them a test drive and let us know!

The inPulse Smartwatch, or as I like to call it the BlackBerry watch just got a nice addition.  A few months back, we were informed that inPulse went open source with its watch where developers could make applications for it.  Today they have announced their hockey application for the inPulse smartwatch.  With the hockey application, you can get scores pushed directly to your watch,  You can be notified everytime a goal is scored, and get the updated score whenever you want.

This app is really effortless to install on your inPulse Smartwatch.  It’s all done over the air through the BlackBerry application.  Click here for instructions on how to install.  If you don’t have an inPulse yet, you can grab one as low as $149.99.

BlackBerry Theme Studio 6 is finally official!  For a while it has been in beta, and now RIM has released the full Gold Release now.  When BlackBerry 6 OS first launched, we were unable to get any themes for a little while, then the first beta launched supporting certain devices, and later one we saw all BlackBerry 6 devices supported.  Continue reading to check out features of BlackBerry Theme Studio 6 Gold Release and to download!

Remember those BBM Flirt commercials? The same ones have been dubbed to Spanish and brought to countries including Argentina and Brazil.  The BBM Flirt commercials exemplifies how BlackBerry can be a personal tool of social networking and staying in touch, rather than just a business device.  You can watch the rest of the clips after the jump!

Browsing through BlackBerry App World for my PlayBook, I stumbled across an app called Popcorn Rush. What an addicting game.  Popcorn Rush is a fast action game where you swipe your finger over the hot kernals to pop them into popcorn. You score extra points by swiping multiple kernals at a time, and swiping jalapenos (which opens up an extra bonus).  More info and screenshots after the jump!

A few days ago we let you know about SeaBattle for BlackBerry being the first game using the BBM Social Platform.  The game seemed to be under some sort of beta at that time, but now has officially launched.  SeaBattleSE is pretty much the same as Battleship, and you can play with your friends online.  To get the BBM Social Platform working you must have BBM 6.0 installed on your BlackBerry.  The game itself supports both OS 5 and OS 6.

Now that was a really short beta.  Just at BlackBerry World 2011, RIM officially announced Twitter for BlackBerry 2.0, and how it would be available in the next few days in BlackBerry Beta Zone.  The beta has ended and now RIM has officially launched Twitter 2.0, and you can grab it over at App World.

According to RBC analyst Mike Abramsky, RIM sold 250,000 BlackBerry PlayBook tablets in the first month of launch.  He says that they could sell 500,000 units in the first quarter, with 100,000 units of channel inventory.  Assuming this analysis is correct, RIM will be selling roughly 3 million units this year, as predicted before launch.

The BlackBerry PlayBook has been getting negative feedback by bloggers who reviewed the unit, before updated came through and with a whole bunch of bugs included.  Of course consumers read reviews and some people’s perception on the PlayBook has been transformed.

In the end of the day the BlackBerry PlayBook is an excellent tablet, where it caters to both business and consumers users in a 7 inch form factor wanted by demand.
