    Have DM check for updates. You may need to reinstall it.

    6.0.2.42 is the latest released on April 13 (Bundle 43), but the first time I tried to download and install it, it didn't complete the process. Second time it came right up with a message that it was now compatible with the Playbook.

    Good luck.

    I thought the PB's could not be activated until tomorrow?

    They turned on the BIS servers this morning according to posters who have PB's in hand.

    There's a new version of DM out there, 6.1.0.20. Search here and you will find it.

    After the update, you should be able to connect to DM assuming you have completed the setup

    One question I do have is in relation to the bluetooth. I have synced it with my phone, however with bluetooth turned on with my phone and playbook, the playbook still reads "no connected devices". Do you need to have the bridge for this to happen?

    Watch the bridge video. It shows Kevin connecting via BT.

    Definitely understand that. My question was more along the lines of do you need the bridge installed on the phone for the playbook to even be able to see the phone.

    The bridge is unavailable right now and I was wondering if that might be the reason that the playbook shows no connected devices when they are already supposedly paired.

    Thanks tho!
