Check out Melody Adhami’s interview for AppTV. If you want to go straight to the segment, it’s around the 21 minute mark. Our Queen of Apps discussed the recently launched PlayBook app called Hockeycentral and winning a Webby Award for the Pizza Pizza app. In addition, talked about Plastic Mobile’s new online app studio, Joomo, to help bloggers and content providers build mobile apps for all operating system at no cost.
Our team huddled around the table when our own PlayBook arrived in the mail. Despite all the mediocre reviews on RIM’s tablet, the first day sales exceeded the low expectation. Here’s a quote from Postmedia News:
“Checks of 70 retail stores found 11 per cent of the locations stocking the device were sold out, according to Mike Abramsky, analyst at RBC Capital Markets. He estimates day one sales of 50,000, including pre-orders, and that RIM is on track to ship 500,000 PlayBooks in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.”
In the next 60 days, there will be an update to offer PlayBook users stand-alone email, rather than having to go onto web-mail or the Gmail app. In the meantime, make sure to download our popular Rogers Sportsnet Hockeycentral app.
