Yesterday, a developer named Chris Wade announced a jailbreak tool for Blackberry Playbook OS called DingleBerry. This owesome jailbreaking tool allows blackberry playbook users to run iOS like unofficial custom scripts and get their devices free from the helm of AppStore only Applications and Games.
