Does the amazon app stream video? Can it cache video as well?

Does the bbc iplayer download and play video programmes as well?

I was wondering if there is a Google Map alternative and a Music Player that scrobbles to last.fm? Those are the features i will miss coming from android.

Question concerning the Assistant:

Is there any possibility to activate the assistant only by voice, as it works now also with Siri on IOS 8 or on android with the command "Hey google"? In my opinion this is the crucial future of an assistent, especially in the situation of being in the car

Greyed out. Not sure if it'll be enabled in the future.

Does it use the same plug-in piece and wire as the Q10? I'm hoping I don't have to buy that stuff all over again.

Yes. Good old micro USB.

Although it does use the USB port for video out now.

Besides the usual questions about Android apps, I would love to know how it works together with another BB10 device:

If I set up the Passport as a new device, next to my Q10, with the same BBID what happens to BBM? Can I use things like Groups and Channels on both at the same time, or will one be "locked out" completely?
What is my best course of action, setting up Passport as a completely new device or switching devices using BB Link?

I'm pretty sure you can only associate BBM with one device at a time. When you go from one device to another, you're prompted to move your BBM identity to the new device. I don't think this will change with the Passport.

What's it like? . . . . You know, in that "How to Recognize Different Types of Trees From Quite a Long Way Away" way. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more.

Seriously though, where can I see one, in person, today, in the NYC area or thereabouts?
