I really like that "Locker" feature with the 7digital store.

Once this hits, and IF it is tied into BBMusic that would be a great feature. None of my 3 beta accounts have gotten the invite yet lol.

[anthonybaker]

yah it will be nice to have it fully intergrated with your device adding universal search and what not , as well with the locker feature i can access on the any computer, or on my berry or on the playbook. thats actually why i havent bought anything from the music store on my playbook, becuase i want to be able to access it on the phone too

Just go over to beta zone and download it. It does sync with the Playbook music store and BMM Music, and is supposed to be able to store your music on the 'cloud'.

Its actually pretty smooth, although I only downloaded it some 30 minutes ago. Can't wait for the video store!

[jr4941]

A good step forward.

@elle-ade - I also can't wait for the video store. This is a great start of how they are standardizing applications between different devices...

[anthogag]

I really like 7Digital. I'm glad it's getting better

Agreed, I'm excited about the video store

i received the invite yesterday and might set it up IFFFFFF there is a chance i can get some free tunes on the beta version.

anyone know?

[anthonybaker]

i wanna try it out but the leaked verison of 7.1 on my 9900 isnt recognized by the beta zone

[sf49ers]

a step in the right direction - a common id for the device, app world, music store, video store, book store, BBM and video chat.

I'm on the beta and I'm really impressed.

This is as good a mobile music store as iTunes is, and the integration features (including sharing links via Facebook or BBM) are a real enhancement.

One of the little details that seems to get neglected in all the doom-and-gloom talk about RIM is just how good BBM is, and how cool the integrated apps are. Probably, not many users are taking that much advantage of them yet, but the whole social feeds infrastructure seems promising. This is just another clever use of it.

I'm guessing that 7digital will be the back end for the Video Store, too, which would be totally awesome.

And, yes, adding books would be icing on the cake...

[robtanz]

I haven't downloaded it yet but will soon. How is this different than the 7digital app?

[bluetroll]

i downloaded it, but i can't get it to freakin paste the keycode! err!
