Now with PB OS 2 (OS STFU? lol) just around the corner of this or next month, I hope, bridge will get some serious integration with the Playbook.

As it stand the bridge, bridges PIM and BBM from the BB phone, which also includes notifications and internet.

I really hope with OS 2, bridge services would rather sync with the local native apps, instead of loading from RIM servers on each device, when there is a bridged device connected.
And for BBM, hopefully they will move to BBID BBM rather than PIN based, this way all the single users BB's and PB's will have a shared BBM, like iMessage is going to do it.

I think it's pretty troublesome to manage TWO+ contact lists and different pins. When people want to contact you they get confused where to do so.


Oh well, however RIM does this integration is a mystery to me, and theres a lot of critical decisions to make of HOW things should be and what standing will Bridge take exactly.

What do you guys think?

Off-topic, love how I get notifications on my PB from bridge! Now I can listen to music/watch movies on my tablet and never miss a thing .

OS STFU. I like it.

Unless they find a way to sync native BBM with the Bridge BBM, I'll probably just stick with the bridge. Having to deal with 2 separate BBM will be a pain otherwise. I think tying it to the BBID makes sense. They need to do the same kind of thing with other apps. If I read a news article in Blackberry News on my phone it should be read on the Playbook as well. Email needs to work the same way. I don't want yet another place I need to mark items read.

True that, apparently RIM is gearing towards a universal BBID slowly. Makes more sense really. and with the QNX phone, the BBID might as well start synchronizing settings and stuff..bookmarks..sweet!

BBID is the way. Look how they implemented it well in AppsWorld u can see the list of installed and uninstalled apps for both Pb n Bb
