[Work] My first app for Blackberry Playbook

I’m happy to share with you one of my happy news for this week. You can read on the fine details at : http://bit.ly/hgvZIG

It’ll be available for download on the App World for free!

Will you be getting a Playbook once it’s ready on sale at your country?
I will also be sharing an in-depth detail on a workflow as a hybrid designer/developer in publishing your app to the App World. This includes developing inside Flash Professional, and then package for submission into App World (using Terminal).

I have to admit, it is not the world’s most smooth sailing journey in app submission process, but once you get past that barrier, the return is priceless. I would like to express my thanks to you :)

Since most of the visiting on main sites has been done on the first two day including sunrise and sunset viewing,

Since we had been on an automated trip on a Tuk-tuk, we decided to go on a trip inside Angkor via our raw power, cycling.
