Sometimes it may be as simple as image size --- try a small thumbnail image with hundreds of kb first.

Except that at the very least --- every analytics firm will actually count a Windows Phone as a Windows Phone because it uses IE Mobile. This is RIM's fault, not really Google's fault. If RIM expects Google not to change their analytics software, then RIM should have gone out and talk to Wall...

Except that the indications are all based on flawed data. Basically every single analytics firms don't count Playbook/Z10 as a Blackberry. Steves' Stats: BlackBerry Z10 Identification Google Analytics counts the Playbook and the Z10 as Safari. Message to RIM: Fix the way Google Analytics...

Complete BS rumors. If they say that people returned their Z10 because they found that the app store is lacking --- I might buy that argument. But they are saying that they are returning because the UI is not intuitive, that I don't buy --- unless Americans are vastly more stupid than the rest...

The fact is that the other side didn't post any real numbers either. At the very least, Munster would have said that he had his assistants phoned up x number of stores --- and Munster tells you that exact number of what x is.

The Playbook has jetpack joyride last year and that was also recompiled to BB10 last month. Jetpack Joyride Now Available for BlackBerry PlayBook - N4BB

They didn't JUST get Bejeweled 2 --- the Playbook has it for 18 months now and they simply recompiled the Playbook version for BB10. EA Games Releases Bejeweled 2, SimCity Deluxe, & The Game of Life for the BlackBerry PlayBook - BerryReview

BB10 does NOT support Android/NDK --- and that is NEVER going to change. If your Android app has even a single line of c/c++ code, then it will not function in BB10's android runtime. Plants vs Zombies and Cut the Rope have been available on the Playbook for a long time, so that's not a...

Jellybean won't increase the numbers of apps being available because the limiting factor still exists --- which is if you have even a single line of native c/c++ codes in your android app, it will never run on the BB10. It doesn't matter whether BB10 has Android 15 runtime in 5 years time.

All these massive 3D games are direct iOS ports to QNX. It is simply easier to port from iOS to QNX than Android/NDK to QNX. For example, Galaxy on Fire 2 is available on iOS and on Android --- Fishlabs didn't even bother to touch the Android source code, they ported GoF2 directly from the iOS...

It's always influenced by money --- it's influenced by how much revenue NOVA 2 brought in from the Playbook, it's influenced by how much employee expenses you have to spend to port the game over. That's money as well.

The share went up 8% on the day BEFORE the US launch and then went down 8% on the actual launch day. Idiotic reporters are saying that it's the end of world --- but it was simply profit taking from a stock that went up by 8% the previous day.

Sure, for the first game --- i.e. the original Angry Birds --- I am pretty sure both RIM and Nokia paid money to the developer for the port. But the rest of the franchise, that will be determined by how many RIM and Nokia users purchased the first game and how many man-hours they have to spend...

They will have Dark Knight this week. Gamelofts Batman Dark Knight Coming to BlackBerry 10 This Month - BerryReview It is less about wheelin and dealin --- it is just easier to port a pure c/c++ game from iOS (that is kinda UNIX) to QNX (which is POSIX) and they both use OpenGL and OpenAL.

I can tell you that it is DEFINITELY a native BB10 game. BB10's android runtime can ONLY do 100% Dalvik apps. If you have even a single line of c/c++ codes in your Android app, your Android app will NOT function on BB10. It is technically IMPOSSIBLE to make any decent massive 3D game such as...
