Mythbusters will be converted into an interactive digital book by Adelaide company

Popular science entertainment TV program Mythbusters will be converted into an interactive digital book under an exclusive deal for Blackberry Playbook users by an Adelaide company.

The PlayBook, which is available in the US and touted as the world's first professional grade tablet, is likely to be launched in Australia within days.

Local digital media developer and TIA member Enabled Solutions is working on the PlayBook application with the program's Australian creator and producer, Beyond Television Productions.

Beyond Television, which developed the program originally for the US Discovery Channel, owns distribution rights worldwide for its broadcast across channels, except in the US and Canada.

The digital book of the popular series is tipped to be on the most exciting developments in the applications space.
