We already know that the BlackBerry Curve 9350 is headed to Sprint.  In fact it got delayed from launching in the end of the summer, to sometime in fall.  Today Sprint and RIM are holding an event for BlackBerry smartphones on the carrier and I have a feeling we’ll be hearing a launch date at some point today.  For now here’s a photo of the Curve 9350 with Sprint branding.

Thanks Reef for the tip!

The game is called Undress Me, although in App World it is listed as “Hot Match” instead.  Any way, in Undress Me, you match up card pairs to reveal a “hot” cartoonish image of a girl in the background.  It’s all time trial so you’ll have to act quick.  In the beginning of the level you see the cards for a split second.  Then it’s all up to you to finish in time for the prize of a pretty lady in the end.

Undress Me is 99 cents to buy in BlackBerry App World exclusively for the PlayBook.  Click the link below to check it out.

About a month ago we gave you an exclusive look at the unannounced BlackBerry Curve 9360 from T-Mobile which was shown off at a manger’s convention for BlackBerry products.  Now it looks like pamphlets with general specifics of the Curve 9360 are being sent out to T-Mobile stores which can only mean the device is coming soon.  Sprint already delayed the device for whatever reasons so we don’t have any US carrier yet who has picked it up.

When OS 7 first launched, GetGlue wasn’t supported.  It was a matter of time until it did and finally after a couple months of OS 7 being among us, GetGlue has included support for it.  GetGlue is a check-in application for things you’re doing rather than places you are.  The different types of check-ins include reading a book, listening to music, watching a show, watching a movie, playing a video game, thinking about a topic, chatting about a celebrity, and drinking wine.  When you select one of those check-ins you can narrow it down specifically.  For example, once you select watching a movie, you’ll have a search bar where you can type the movie you are watching and then check in to it.  GetGlue syncs with Facebook and Twitter so you can share with friends that way.

So for all those eager for OS 7 support with GetGlue, you can grab it now using the link below.

So this isn’t a new update, but it’s one of the applications that have been around for a while and just fell off the blogs for a bit since no one really heard much from the developers.  I decided to check them out again and noticed that they updated a few months ago to version 2.0.  For those who haven’t heard of the app, Pinwall is a social networking application for BlackBerry (one of the first).  You can add users as friends after viewing their profile with the ability of starting a chat within Pinwall itself.  After friend requesting someone, you get their BBM pin with the option to add them in your contacts.

Now in version 2.0, you get general bug fixes and when you go back in the application it’ll load a lot faster than it did before.  Either way, Pinwall is still here and live with many users all over the world.  Check it out!

QNX is the latest and greatest OS from RIM as of now.  It’s the operating system powering the BlackBerry PlayBook, and soon to be on smartphones in early 2012 according to RIM.  The latest rumor on the street suggests that QNX will not be supporting push email in the future.  Currently you have the PlayBook which uses Bridge to get email and other PIM apps so that remains push.  But once OS 2.0 for PlayBook launches, we’re expecting to see push email gone if this rumor is true.  Furthermore, QNX smartphones in 2012 won’t have it either then.  And there goes RIM’s biggest feature which makes itself standout next to iOS and Android.  Let’s just hope this fades out and RIM finds a solution quick for BIS users.
