View in Mobile

The Nerdberry boys have come across a very special .BAR file which consists of Angry Birds for the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet. This leak is nowhere near the finalized version, as we know an official release is set to launch following the announcement made at BlackBerry World 2011. To get Angry Birds on your PlayBook you will have to sideload it as is does not appear in the App World and there is really no way to install PlayBook apps OTA. The Nerdberry boys have compiled a list of instructions along with a short video of Angry Birds running on a PlayBook. Check below for instructions.

Side Load Instructions

Setup PlayBook

On your playbook you need to open the settings tab by swiping down from the top of your home screen or clicking on the settings icon in the top right.

Select the Security option in the left bar.

Select the Developer Mode which should display the following screen. (Putting in developer mode is simply to allow applications to be installed on the device. You can turn this off after Angry Birds has been installed)

You now need to activate developer mode by changing the OFF to ON. This will prompt for a password and retyped password as shown below. REMEMBER this password as you will need to use it to install Angry Birds and to get access to your playbook whilst in developer mode. You can turn off developer mode after installation of Angry Birds.

Once you have set a password a new icon should appear in the top tray as show below. Tap on it once to reveal the IP address of your device.
