Fun And Games On Your BlackberryPDAs and Blackberrys originated as simple devices that were intended solely for business and organizational purposes. However, these gadgets have evolved, first to include various communication functions, and then to incorporate features that are purely for the user’s entertainment. From instant messaging, to cameras, to MP3 players, to games, the features available for PDAs and Blackberrys ensure that the owner will never have another dull moment. Some Games Are Standard Some Blackberry games have become standard features of most Personal Digital Assistants. It is almost unheard of not to have games such as Solitaire, Hearts, and Minesweeper already located on the menu of your Blackberry. Check your device to see what’s already included before you start downloading! Downloading Games For Your Blackberry The Internet opens up a wide range of possibilities when it comes to downloading games for your device. Many games can be downloaded for free. Games that can be downloaded without paying a cent include: Chess, Texas Hold’em King, Bass Assassin, Raging Rivers, Klondike, Spider Solitaire, Space Invaders, Dope Wars, Free Cell, Cribbage, and Blackjack. Other games require that you pay for them before you download them. Typically, this simply means that you will be required to enter your credit card number into the site from which you are purchasing the game. The Dangers Of Downloading Downloading games off of the Internet might seem like a great way to update your Blackberry. However, as with any download, you do run the risk of downloading damaging files (such as viruses) to your device in addition to the game. Additionally, it is dangerous to enter a credit card number on any site that is not secure. These problems can be avoided by downloading your Blackberry games directly from the Blackberry mobile site. This website has a wide variety of games available, many of which are free to download. Blackberry Games—The Great Distraction? One of the controversies surrounding Blackberry games is that they defeat the Personal Digital Assistant’s original purpose. Can the user still concentrate on business if they have a long list of games on their Blackberry? Ultimately, it should be up to the individual to decide when entertainment goes too far. Games For All! Despite the argument that Blackberry games prevent real work from getting done, they are a great source of entertainment if you are just looking to have a good time. With games being so accessible, there is no reason why you shouldn’t have a few of your favorites stashed away on your Blackberry! | Tue, Jan 06, 2009 02:12 |
