Setting up VLC Remote on your BlackBerry 10
This will be a quick how-to guide on setting up VLC remote on your BlackBerry 10 device.
VLC Remote will work if both your VLC player (so your PC for example) and BlackBerry 10 device is on the same wireless network*.
*Now, technically speaking, you should also be able to get it to work if your BB10 device is not on the same wireless network by port forwarding the VLC web server on your router but that’s another story – shoot off in the comments if you would like this use case covered.
The Flaw In BlackBerry App World Pricing – Get BlackBerry App World Apps Cheaper by Paying in Another Currency
So I posted a thread in the CrackBerry forums to get a general feel and opinions on what people thought about the current App World pricing structure (specifically for the PlayBook… I am sure the same apply to the smart phone App World also).
Before I start, let me give you a quick low down on how the current pricing structure works.
Resolving PlayBook Wifi Issues
So I received my spanking new, beautiful PlayBook yesterday and after playing with it for a while, I noticed some really bad wi-fi drop-outs.
i.e., the wireless network would show as connected but nothing would work… the browser wouldn’t load, App World would complain and pings would fail. The only way you can get it to work again is to turn the wi-fi off and back on again.
The operating system I have had this issue on is the latest as of this post (1.0.7.2670).
At first I thought it was my wireless network but I had the same issues at my work place too.
