    Ironic... we've been wanting to do this from our Blackberries and Playbooks for years. It sure would be nice, and possible, "we have the technology". ... : /

    I think it will rely solely on BBID. The same way Apple deals with iMessage, you can use the Apple ID without revealing the iPhones phone number and vise versa

    Where does this information come from?

    Currently a BlackBerry ID can only be used on one smartphone and one tablet.

    You may be confusing yourself with the fact that you can migrate your BlackBerry World (BlackBerry ID) up to 5 times a year

    At the risk of sounding dumb, why?

    Didn't BBRY come out and say BBM won't be available for tablets just yet? So, no, I'm guessing you won't be able to send messages from your iPad. Have you got an iPhone? That's a whole other situation..

    Not all of them. Apple makes sure each app is compatible with the iPad resolution and so on. BBRY confirmed it wouldn't launch BBM on any tablet form too.

    What do you mean by compatible?
    Some of my iPad apps are not full screen and are stretched. There is a 1x button to make switch them to their original resolution.

    As far as I know, I was referring to screen resolution and all that. I didn't know you could switch an app back to the original resolution. However, I'm assuming it's not just screen resolution that has to be taken into consideration when building specifically for a tablet.

    Yup, just wanted to clear out that point.

    Did you notice our first sentence on our other posts was the very same thing? High five!
