I have produced a simple step by step guide on how to get ALL the default applications for your Blackberry Playbook (Normally restricted to US users only). Tell me what you think.
Thanks Now here's a stupid question... I read the video store is US only, will it work on my European internet connection once I have it on my PB, or will it end up being blocked once I turn off the proxy?
Thanks for the fast reply. In that case I'll skip this little process, the only US default app I was interested in was the video store. Still, I'm sure it will be helpful for many others
Hmmm... Didn't work for me. Settings saved, but said my software was up to date when I checked for updates. I was getting news and Slacker radio anyway, not the Video store though. You guys don't get those 2 apps?

Strange, so are you still missing the Podcasts app, or is it something else? I've tried this a couple times and it worked each time. I'm not sure what's going on with yours, maybe the proxy server is down?
Sorry but there's nothing new nor magic about using a proxy server. This has been posted many times.
I know it's not new, but there are many who didn't know you could do it or were confused on how to do it. I just wanted to help people set it up. Also, this is mainly describing how to get the exclusive files that normally come with the US version of the Playbook OS; the threads I saw on here all suggested the proxy only grants access to a different App World.
I think Canadians are getting Slacker, Podcasts, and News. Not sure about the other geographies, but pretty sure that not all of these apps are in every country.
I'm in Canada and tried this trick with a bunch of different proxies but none of them would update the software. Was curious to have a look at the video store.

Well here you are stranger a list of proxy IPs you can try out. List of Proxies Usually the newest ones will work just fine.
This actually does work, but you have to persevere with it. I tried a number of proxies from Hide my and it did not work. I eventually changed my country (under language), then reset my PlayBook and used a fresh proxy and automatically after I saved and connected, the PlayBook searched for and found new update

I used it from Thailand, it worked fine.
After the download I went back to my original/local wifi.
