    Hi All,

    Can you set up 2 Playbooks with one Blackberry ID. Just bought a second one (64 Gig for $299.00) so the wife has one to use as well. She does not have a Blackberry phone however.

    If I can use the same ID, can the apps (paid for ones) be shared between the 2 Playbooks as well?

    Looking forward to your comments.

    Short answer: yes you can.

    Long answer: There are implications if you later change your mind. A security wipe may be required:

    Thanks, I thought so. How about the apps, can they be shared between two Playbooks on one ID, or would you have to pay for them a second time?

    Yes, they can share the apps.

    This has been gone over plenty. Best to read the following article -

    You have one App World account under that BBID, so the apps are available to install on each of the PlayBooks without paying a second time.
