Touchpad can answer calls from other phones, PB still can't from a BB?!?!
- Seriously the dead OS that is WebOS seems to get more features faster than our supposedly still living TabletOS, BBX, whatever the he!! it is now. WebOS 3.0.4 just added the ability for the touchpad to answer calls from non WebOS phones, apparently it did this with WebOS phones before. The Playbook just pops up a message that lets us shut off the ringer on the phone when a call comes in and nothing else. I believe WebOS also allows WebOS phone users to send/receive texts via their version of a bridge. After the disappointing first keynote session this just really pisses me off that these seemingly simple features haven't been added into the Playbook, and our updates have basically stalled out while WebOS is still putting stuff out. Had to vent that one out.10-18-11 12:45 PMLike 0
- My real point is the Touchpad, which is basically dead at this point, is getting features and functionality pushed out even today, while we Playbook users have been ground to a halt on our "steady cadence" of updates and we are now waiting for whatever this new BBX super update is. I think it is a little sad really that HP can still get stuff out the door when HP management has pulled the rug out from beneath the project and RIM can't get deliver with the company supposedly putting everything into it. Hopefully some good news will come in the second keynote session.10-18-11 01:05 PMLike 0

Still improving the OS and functions on a dead piece of Hardware. We are, and have been, WAITING on improvements on the Playbook. We are being shown bits and pieces of 2.0, haven't received any great updates in a while because they decided to wrap it up int a massive update/new OS, being told how great it will be, all while HP is pushing out updates and improvements to WebOS. I'm just getting tired of RIM vaporware and its coming. Starting to think its all just stall tactics by RIM.10-18-11 01:31 PMLike 0
- That's what I'm doing now. It is the only way to possibly communicate with RIM on the Playbook since they don't have a feedback contacting on their website anyway.
I've already got them the sale of the hardware at full price so selling it now will just make a loss for me, and who knows, the device might actually become what they said it would be some day when it grows up. Even picked up a second one as a gift for the Holidays for someone. So I'm all in. It is time for RIM to start turning some of this potential energy we here the Playbook has into kinetic energy!10-18-11 01:42 PMLike 0 -

- I think that an app that only ran on the Playbook to provide feedback to RIM would be great and guarantee that the person sending the feedback was actually a Playbook owner. Especially since it is the first gen hardware and software of what is their future. App could send all the device info in with the submission too.10-18-11 04:39 PMLike 0
