main ways of doing this there's the Google Chrome app way which you can click here and find the tutorial for that on crackberry or there's the ddpb way which you can click here and find the tutorial for that on crackberry both these ways are actually fairly similar when you get down to it I prefer the Google Chrome app way because I just find it simpler and easier to set up although the ddpb way is not actually that complicated I just find Google Chrome one more streamlined so the first thing you're going to want to do is to go into Google Chrome apps and install Playbook App Manager leave
