- Is there any way to force the Playbook to keep your BB info on the Playbook?
What if your BB breaks and you need the info off of it to show a customer something and you had to use another phone. Or what if you leave your office to meet a customer and you bring your Playbook and you forgot your BB. You would be stuck without the info.
Couldn't RIM have a security switch to flip and allow you to store your BB info on the Playbook? Then after you were finished using the Playbook flip the security switch and make it safe again?
Not being able to have your BB info on the Playbook away from the BB at all is something that I don't think that I will like.

- I guess you are right but it would be nice to have a Security switch to allow you to keep your calendar and contacts on the Playbook if you wanted to. And it would be nice to look at a larger monthly calendar at anytime if you did not have the BB with you. Just sayin.01-15-11 09:57 AMLike 0
- It would be nice, except I'm never without my Blackberry so it isn't an issue to me, but to some I am sure it would be, so to those, wait for 3rd Party App support.
Just like people have to do with the shortcomings of Apple, and Android, 3rd Party Software can fill the void01-15-11 10:04 AMLike 0 -

Point 2: Now unless you're showing emails and calender tasks, which is unlikely, you won't need to worry about that. Chances if you're meeting a customer you'll be showing them a document, in which case, you can store it safely on the PB natively.

- I never looked at it that way. Now that you mention it, I can understand that. Although I always make sure I carry my BB with me (I've never gone without it accidentally in the 9 months I've had it)01-15-11 01:10 PMLike 0
- How can you possibly forget your blackberry this thing is crack. On a serious note that seems like a good idea and I have a feeling it might not come out at launch but later down the road via an update only if there is demand for it though.

- Why doesn't RIM just include a feature that allows any Wifi PB the option to effectively "copy" your BB PIN after the first time you tether over bluetooth and store it in the system settings?
Then you could receive push email/BBM from RIM's servers over Wifi much the same way that a regular Wifi-equipped BB does over Wifi with the wireless radio turned off. To sync contacts, calendars, docs, files, etc you could periodically tether to your BB handset over BT maybe once per day or week, whichever is necessary for each individual circumstance.
I've used my Bold 9650 for BBM and push email over Wifi with my wireless carrier radio turned off, why couldn't you do the same thing with the PB?01-16-11 11:13 AMLike 0 - How can you possibly forget your blackberry this thing is crack.
