ZeptoLab brings “Cut The Rope” to BlackBerry PlayBook!

Greetings from Las Vegas! Carolyn, Luke and I are here for the 2012 International CES – a gadget geek’s dream! It was just a year ago when we were here showing off the BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet for the first time. In the twelve months that have followed, we’ve launched the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet and have seen an amazing number of quality apps available.

One title we’ve been really excited to see launch is ZeptoLab’s “Cut The Rope”. It’s one of the most successful games out there, and there’s a reason for that – you can’t put it down once you start playing. Carolyn hasn’t put down her BlackBerry PlayBook tablet in over an hour, and that’s not good – we’ve got a lot of blogging to do for CES! Check out the video above to view a chat with Diana from Zepto Lab on Cut the Rope for BlackBerry PlayBook.

The object of the game is simple – cut the ropes (and avoid the spikes) to feed candy to Om Nom (the cute green monster). It’s easier said than done, though – and you have hundreds of levels to play through. What’s more awesome? Cut the Rope is one of the first apps with ScoreLoop integration – letting you share your score with your friends. For more info on ScoreLoop, check out their site or this blog post.

Download Cut the Rope from BlackBerry App World and get started on those levels! We’ve got some more great apps coming to the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet over the next few days – stay tuned to the Inside BlackBerry Blog and @BlackBerry for updates!

How to identify the version of a BlackBerry PlayBook app or game

If you own a BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet, you most likely have installed several apps and games from the BlackBerry App World™ storefront. Today I’d like to show you how you can identify what version of an app or game is installed on your tablet in addition to how to view the security permissions for a specific app or game. This is useful information to know as security permissions can affect how an app or game performs on a BlackBerry PlayBook tablet, and what personal data it shares and stores on your behalf.
