This is the story of this brick call the Playbook, yoy have Skype but you cannot make a call. The TV App is not lodding. Yes soon you will have games, hahaha. just like they told us that soon we were going to have email. that was last year. it is now 2012 and still no emai, NO Skype, No Netflix , NO Hulu p, NO kindle reader or Nook reader and on and on. just buy an Android tablet or and IPad and you will not have to do all this shit just to play Angry birds.

[LimeTrip]

@Tom2736 Man a lot has changed with the playbook, All the 3 Angrybirds series is available in the app world. Netflix and hulu can be accessed by a service called playon. And for Skype we (1000+) playbook users sent a mail each to Skype CEO & VP :) TV app works fine :)

[weishin92]

Can the skype for android loads in the playbook?

[LimeTrip]

@weishin92 The video chat option has been disabled in beta OS 2.0, so skype will do only text chat. They say when the official OS release it would support the android Skype.

got 32gb its ok but apps suck donkey ass

[lovishmusicrocker]

@LimeTrip You would be crying to know that this Tablet is now selling at 50% cheaper price..

And you bought it before that.. lol

[LimeTrip]

@lovishmusicrocker hahaha cant complain, bought it 6 months back. I've got 2 playbooks . I think there are planning to release a new model that may be the reason for price cuts. The 16 & 32 gb versions are sold out :)

[lovishmusicrocker]

@LimeTrip Thank God I've already booked a 32GB one on Flipkart.

[LimeTrip]

@lovishmusicrocker Congrats, you must receive it within 3-4 days :) Even i bought my PB from Flipkart.

[lovishmusicrocker]

@LimeTrip What's your experience says about PB.Is it worth Rs.16000??! Plz dude tell honestly.And how's the Graphics on this??

[Kuikli2]

@LimeTrip no the reason is because the playbook is no selling good. the 64 GB is on 335US$

[RandomAccount922]

INDIAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LimeTrip]

@RandomAccount922 Yes!!!!!!!!!! :)

[jalenrose]

Hey I'm trying to download the kindle app from amazon but it doesn't seem to be working on my playbook. Do i need an android player for that or something?

[LimeTrip]

@jalenrose Have tried sideloading the kindle app which u downloaded?

[Pantopesakha]

can you use skype video on this Android player?

[LimeTrip]

@Pantopesakha This was the old android player which does not work now, the skype app only did text chat. No video.

[Pantopesakha]

@LimeTrip Thanks. Is there a possibility with the new BBX or whatever the new terminology is that RIM is going to adopt coming February 2012, that Android apps will be working on all Playbooks. Wondering if Skype Video will work then?

I need to know as I am planning to buy this Playbook this Boxing day.

[LimeTrip]

@Pantopesakha BBX will definitely let you run android apps, but it wont give you access to android market. Developers of android apps will have to submit their apps to RIM, which will then be converted to PlayBook format. I feel android skype is not going to support video. Well to get the exact picture we will have to wait and watch.

[skatecake722]

@LimeTrip how do u get this app on my playbook?

[LimeTrip]

@skatecake722 Are u taking about the Tv on the go app? if its the tv app just send me a message with subject: tv on the go :)

[skatecake722]

@LimeTrip yeah the tv one

[gmoney2775]

the blackberry playbook is shit no netflix

[LimeTrip]

@gmoney2775 Just have to wait a little while longer, good news is dingleberry is here and the dev are working to get netflix to work, they got hulu working already.

[nnj17]

after update to ver 2.0, my list like ALL, FAVORITE, MEDIA, and GAMES are gone now and how can i get it back?

[LimeTrip]

@nnj17 Have you created a backup using desktop manager, if so you can restore it. I cant think of any other way you can.

[jenks5150]

Does that sticker over the screen not bother you? Haha, pet peeve I guess.

[LimeTrip]

@jenks5150 Lol it does annoy me, but its doing a good job by keeping scratches away. I hardly notice it these days ;)

[ReDevilforevr]

can u plz help my playbook is running os 2.0 but i dont know how to get android app player plzz help

[dylansoldier3067571]

yeah so if i buy a playbook like now, now now, would i be able to run .apk files on it....??? please answer

[LimeTrip]

@dylansoldier3067571 Once you upgrade to OS 2.0 you will be able to run android apps.

[dylansoldier3067571]

@LimeTrip would the android market be available or would i have to download my apps on pc then install??

[LimeTrip]

@dylansoldier3067571 Android market is not available, but you can find android apps which work with playbook at playbookbars(dot)com

[TheCalloftheduty]

@LimeTrip my playbook is 1.07.3312 version and whenever i turn on android app player it just turns off then if i try again it just freezes and then i restart what do i do

[LimeTrip]

@TheCalloftheduty Android player does not work with the OS version, upgrade to 2.0 beta.

[iknight8]

I have the 16GB wifi version, I am not sure if it's 2.0 or not but can I still install Android App Player and sideload APK files? Thanks!

[LimeTrip]

@iknight8 This android app player is a little old & dont work with the latest OS. If youre using 2.0 then u dont need AP, you can install converted android apps directly.

[iknight8]

@LimeTrip How would i do that? Thanx

[manpreetsalooja]

hi bro ! can I buy a playbook... n then upgrade the andriod in it ?? or do I wait for blackerry to launch the android version ??

[LimeTrip]

@manpreetsalooja You can upgrade to 2.0 but i dont recommend it as RIM clearly stated users not to upgrade to 2.0 as it was for developers.

[inspectorgadget05]

Hows the battery life with that android app player running in the background?

[LimeTrip]

@inspectorgadget05 It remains the same, android app player is just another app and it does not need a lot of power to run.

[SuperMvickers]

can u get kindle for the uk playbook

[LimeTrip]

@SuperMvickers Kindle is availabe and can be installed in the android app player. Make sure you don't update you playbook software. If you do the android app player will not work, and sadly we can't reinstall it.

[swithins888]

where did u get tv on the go?

[LimeTrip]

@swithins888 "TV on the go" is available in the APP WORLD for free. I got is from there.

[LimeTrip]

people lookin to download android app player I've placed download links in my other android app player video. Check the video description.

[jcsf3]

can it run 3.1 apps

[LimeTrip]

@jcsf3 I'm not sure, I've not tried it. Its difficult to find apps that work, the thing is you need to sideload it one by one. So I've got no time. If i get any info on this ill keep you posted.

[megarups]

how did you get the android app player?

[LimeTrip]

@megarups Sorry was not able to post a reply here getting error msg : "Error, try again". So I've posted a reply in your channel.
