Imaging that you want to calculate your bills, taking notes of some critical expenses while listening to your favorite songs, and you do really hate switching among applications on your BlackBerry� PlayBook™ just to do so. Pesktop is exactly what you need.

I will try to provide Read-Only ability for Word/Excel documents right within Pesktop, that's much faster just to read.Ah Ok thats cool cause we got that with the playbook anyway! As long as i didnt need to buy another APP!

So, just wait for RIM providing this and from within Pesktop, we can make appointments, stick our sticky notes into Calendar and force it reminding us to do something. That's the concept.
Thanks a lot guys, we are working hard on Pesktop everyday. All of your suggestions and feedback are noted officially for future updates.04-03-12 09:52 PM
