I know the PlayBook has a voice recorder but after using this one for a few days, I really enjoy how this is themed.

On the Air offers an old school look with the different signs that display as different functions are used.  “On The Air”, “Off The Air” and “Stand By” for the images and the text on pause changes to resume letting you know if it is paused.

This is a Very nice application for those that enjoy a little extra graphics with a voice recorder. When the rerecording is finished, it simply places the recording  in your music folder on the PlayBook under OnTheAir.

Details: A fun way to use the voice record function on the BlackBerry PlayBook. This themed voice recorder offers the old style On the Air signs that change as different functions are called from the application.

Record for fun, let the kids go “On the Air” and record their singing or use the “On the Air” app to record a meeting at work. This application functions a lot like the voice recorder on the PlayBook, we added an easy to use interface with themed graphics that are activated by different functions making it fun to use by all ages.

Features
• Record (On the Air)
• Pause/Resume ( Stand By)
• Stop (Off the Air)
• All Audio Files are saved in the PlayBook Music Folder with the prefix of OnTheAir.

Jannik of Brain Connected let us know about their new game called Somyeol Jump and Run.  Somyeol Jump and Run is a 2D Puzzle Platformer, in which you have to rescue the almost extinct species of the Somyeols. Guide them home while controlling multiple Somyeols at once. Somyeol is a mix of Super Mario or Sonic like Jump and Run games and the classic game Lemmings.

- 11 different types of Somyeols

The cute little Somyeols live happy and peaceful on their nice green planet Greensland . One day their planet got hit by a Meteor, because of the collision the somyeols are spread all over the universe. Things are far from simple ,however, as they are a vulnerable crowd that need plenty of help to reach the rocket so they can find a new planet. The only chance for the Somyeols to live together in happiness and peace is to rebuild a new civilization on the new planet.

Somyeol is a 2D Puzzle Plattformer in which the stranded Somyeols are guided as a team so now one is left behind. Try to get most of the Somyeols to their rocket so they can fly to the new planet. For each saved Somyeol you will get a specific number of points. To win the level you need a minimum score and you´ll get to the next level. The more Somyeols you´ll save the more points you´ll get and that means you´ll climb up in the global online highscore.

Stephen let us know about his new game for the PlayBook called 5 Marbles. 5 Marbles is a modern version of the classic Japanese abstract strategy board game “Gomoku” or you can call it Five in a Row. This game is fun yet challenging and worth the purchase if you enjoy puzzle type games at all.

Details: Each player takes turns placing one of their marbles on the game board. To win the game you need to get 5 marbles in a row either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. It sounds easy but it is deceivingly difficult… especially when your opponent is not only attempting to block you but also take the win for themselves!

Practice and hone your skills against the 4 increasingly difficult computer levels or use those talents to take on your friends head to head.

In addition to the traditional game with 2 players (blue and red marbles) this game also has an option to include blocker marbles in one of 2 modes to further increase the challenge.
