- My contract ended a couple months ago. I was all set to get the Q10 to replace the 9810 until the lack of bridge functionality wasn't addressed. I'll keep my 9810 / PB combo until one of them become problematic or something better comes along. Either BB gets their act together and shows their legacy users a bit of respect or I'll move my loyalties also. Until then I still have a great combo.08-05-13 06:47 AMLike 0

- A recently laid off Blackberry employee that was on the PlayBook team reported that flash drives containing the only images of a massive update to the current OS enabling OTG USB, Android runtime updated to 4.xxx, BBM Bridge, etc, and a fully functional stripped down version of BB10 were sadly left in the cars and could not be recovered before the vehicles had been hauled off to the scrap yard:
"BlackBerry, on it's way to the junkyard"
Experts , and consumers wanting a tablet and cell phone combo estimate it is only a matter of time before BlackBerry's device division suffers a similar fate:

For those of us whom have stuck with BlackBerry there seems to be no effort by BlackBerry to prove they understand their users any more. Would it kill the company to fix BlackBerry Bridge?

iPad is a tablet and iPhone is a cell phone, but they are barely connected by the tenuous thread of 'iCloud', which is the opposite of what BBOS + PlayBook was.
Android's "combo" is even more tenuous, as Android's ecosystem is an entropic free-for-all that most users are just drowning in.
The idea of having your data on YOUR handheld device, not in the cloud, but backed-up to YOUR home computer, not a public / hackable computer, and having the ability to connect to handheld device securely through a tablet with a more welcoming and usable (larger) user interface was unique to BBOS / PlayBook... maybe someone in BB10 development will just integrate Bridge functionality back into BB10 on their own accord and not wait for orders and we'll get Bridge back... but I'm not holding out hope for management to come to their senses.08-07-13 10:23 AMLike 3 - The thing is: BBOS + PlayBook WAS the ONLY "tablet / cell phone combo" that exists!

Yep, and they killed it.
Q: One or the main selling points was BBM? connecting a PlayBook to BB cell phone, right?
As the number percentage wise, or market share of BB to other manufacturers cell phone is LOW (I think Android having greatest market share?) BB is coming out with some kind of BBM/ bridge app for other devices? (Android, IOS)
In other words they are coming out with a app to pair a PlayBook with a Android phone, or is it the app will pair a BB10 device with a Android/Apple tablet?08-08-13 01:06 AMLike 0 - RE: BBOS + PlayBook WAS the ONLY "tablet / cell phone combo" that exists!
