Hey dude...
Would you guide me in how to use the "bars tool, like SkypeBeta?
I downloaded to my PB but it says needs the App.

Tks. JC...

**SlcCorrado** · 05-31-2012, 06:04 PM

I'm not even sure yet if skype works. It's might on the new beta. Download bbh tools to your computer. That works fine for installing bars

Note that S180 clearly has access to good information! He said this back in May.

Note he also says this. I bet there has been a delay though.

Keep in mind that Microsoft has stock in Apple so they have an interest in that using their apps. MS has no stock in RIM so besides the office price tag, it might not be worth their while to code for it.

RIM launched new BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.1. Using this software update can be worked over the mobile phone network and user can select any time to update Setup. Blackberry Playbook provides the facilities to conduct the video chart over the 4G connections. Lots of TV shows are possible to play on demand to purchase recently releases available same day as DVD.

Its available for the PB 4G now I believe. And for devs its is/was available too.

**BB_Bmore** · 08-09-2012, 11:37 AM

It's not available for the 4G. The 4G is on. 668

We will probably see a beta refresh before the official is released.

When it is released it will be available for both wifi and 4G models same time.

I was watching the very brief demo of the LTE PB on N4BB.com, there was definitely an attempt to limit camera time on the OS itself, but if you look closely this is a whole new GUI. Is that BBM icon I see?

have a look at about the 36 second mark. let me know what you all think.
