RichPix is a pretty cool app for photography enthusiasts or those who enjoy great photos.  The downside? You can’t save these photos and set them as your background unfortunately.  That was my biggest temptation when browsing through a few of them.  All photos comes from 500px.com, and the popular ones are all generated by category for you to browse them.  You can’t log into your own account from the application as it’s only for browsing photos.

Last week, Android Player for BlackBerry PlayBook leaked out.  Since then PlayBook owners have been having way too much fun seeing what Android apps they can install and what the emulator brings overall.  BerryReview got sent a couple of nice wallpapers from Ben Rowe bringing nothing but humor about the Android Player for BlackBerry PlayBook leak.  Download them both after the jump!

Some new release dates have surfaced for a few devices headed over to Sprint this season.  We have the BlackBerry Torch 9850, BlackBerry Bold 9930, and BlackBerry Curve 4 which might be a 9350.  According to this spreadsheet spotted over at BriefMobile, the release dates are as follows:

• BlackBerry Bold 9930 – August 21, 2011
• BlackBerry Bold 9930 (No Camera) – August 21, 2011
• BlackBerry Torch 9850 – August 21, 2011
• BlackBerry Curve 4 (9350) – September 9, 2011

Interesting to see the Bold 9930 and Torch 9850 launching on the same day.  Assuming these launch dates are accurate, which device will you go for?

Thanks ecivon for the tip!

With all the confusion after confusion on the BlackBerry Bold 9900 launching in August or not, dummy units have started arriving in Vodafone UK stores.  The Bold 9900 started off as “coming soon” on the Vodafone website and later put out a video demo of the device as well.  So back to the confusion, there’s no telling when the Bold 9900 is expected to launch but it’s looking good so far for Vodafone UK as they’ve received dummy devices at their retail locations already.
