If you happened to open up BlackBerry App World recently and noticed some changes you're not alone. In fact, RIM has sent out notification to BlackBerry developers letting them know that new category changes for applications are now in effect for BlackBerry App World and to adjust their apps accordingly if needed. The changes are as follows:

• News: The News category has been expanded to include magazines. This category is now called News and Magazines and includes Blogs as a subcategory.
• Beta: The Beta category is discontinued. The apps located the Beta category have been moved to relevant categories.
• Reference and eBooks & Education: The Books and Reference category has been divided in to separate categories so that these are now individual categories respectively. The Reference category includes Education. This new category is Education & Reference.
• Shopping: The Shopping category has been renamed Lifestyle.
• Maps & Navigation: The Maps & Navigation category now includes Travel and has been renamed Navigation and Travel.
• Music Creation (*NEW*): There is a new subcategory Music Creation available under the Music and Audio category.
• Children’s Categories (*NEW*): There are two new children’s focused categories: New Children’s Games category within the Games Channel, New Children’s Books subcategory within the Books category

While most of the changes are minimal, the removal of the beta section is a rather interesting one. RIM has spent a lot of time revamping the BlackBerry Beta Zone for their applications so it begs the question how BlackBerry 10 will handle betas, if at all. Then again, the beta section in BlackBerry App World was never really used by RIM themselves.

MyCityWay announced at BlackBerry World that they launched their urban reference guide for the PlayBook with plans to bring it to BlackBerry 10 devices. The app currently is only available in select US cities namely: New York, San Francisco, Austin, Seattle, and Chicago. We held off mentioning it because it seemed like more cities (68 of them) would be launched shortly but learned recently that it is still a ways off.

MyCityWay helps you find local news, transit updates, gas prices, hot sales, restaurant deals, movie tickets or even the closest free Wi-Fi spot. The MyCityWay Snapshot scouts the city scene and tells you where to be. Check out the MyCityWay app on your PlayBook free in App World. The app has a really slick interface that is impressive but it can be a bit laggy. Still it has some decent info about NYC.

Full press release below:

MYCITYWAY PARTNERS WITH RIM TO DEVELOP NEW APP FOR PLAYBOOK AND BLACKBERRY 10 PLATFORMS

Real-time urban reference app from MyCityWay for the PlayBook tablet and BlackBerry 10 users features a customizable live Snapshot and an intuitive color psychology-based user interface

NEW YORK CITY (May 1, 2012) – For the first time, the all-new MyCityWay offers its personalized, real-time, all-access Snapshot on BlackBerry® PlayBook™ and BlackBerry 10 later this year.  The newMyCityWay is highly optimized for the BlackBerry PlayBook platform and transforms your tablet into a comprehensive, yet intuitive urban reference guide. Whether you are looking for local news, transit updates, cheapest gas prices, the hottest sales, restaurant deals, movie tickets or just the closest free Wi-Fi spot to get some work done, the Snapshot immediately scouts the scene and finds it for you. 
The BlackBerry platform’s reputation as the de facto choice for business users combined with the way MyCityWay’s apps serve business travelers, city residents and tourists made this partnership a perfect match.

“Whether you are a business person on a plane planning your itinerary or a busy mom looking after the kids, MyCityWay will transform the PlayBook into the all-inclusive metro utility for your needs,” said Puneet Mehta, co-founder of MyCityWay. “We are highly impressed with how easily the BlackBerry developer tool kit allowed us to customize MyCityWay for the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet to offer users a truly enriched in-app experience.”

This spring, MyCityWay will be available on PlayBook for five cities including New York City, San Francisco, Chicago, Seattle and Austin, and will expand to over 20 cities by fall 2012.  This first of its kind mobile urban reference app offers a personalized, real-time, all-access Snapshot that instantly connects you to local news, transit updates, hottest sales and all the up-to-the-minute usable information you crave. MyCityWay is also the first city guide app to display information in a visually intuitive menu. You’ll know when to hit-up a venue, where a deal is being offered and receive practical transit advice, like “you’re fine to walk to the restaurant from here” or “better take a cab.” Available now for New York City residents and travelers, MyCityWay will expand to include cities across the entire U.S. by the end of May, with international cities to follow.

"The MyCityWay app provides PlayBook users with incredibly useful info to make the most of their time in a city and it is a must-have app for both locals and visitors," says Martyn Mallick, VP, Global Alliances & Business Development at RIM, "We are also very excited to be working with MyCityWay to bring their app to the BlackBerry 10 platform later this year."

I have been simply using Google for years as a dictionary on my BlackBerry but Jason introduced me to Pocket Dictionary from SRID Games. This is in no way a comprehensive Oxford quality dictionary but it does work well and best of all it works offline. You only need an internet connection if you want to play the pronunciation of a word. It offers up over 1 million words and gives you the ability to set your own user defined list of words to come back to.
