- So I was excited for bridge, figured it�d be a cool feature, but something I wouldn�t use much. So after downloading a couple hours ago, I went straight to the 50�, plugged In the HDMI and watched some videos.
It worked great as expected. Well my son launches Monopoly, and WOW !!!! it was amazing. We�d played multiplayer a few times, but it was a pain huddling around the PB. NOW, on the 50� over HDMI with the bridge remote�
This is a real game changer. Can�t wait to spend some more time exploring Bridge, and what other surprises we will see in OS/2
So tell me, what amazing things have you done with the bridge remote ? I�m sure there are many more, but just spent the last 2 hours playing monopoly hehe�. What�s your favourite new feature/game with the remote ?02-20-12 11:39 PMLike 9 -
- I hope it's a game changer for ALL the naysayers...
I hope everyone is satisfied and happy with the bridge/update.SlcCorrado and RoseBud68 like this.02-20-12 11:49 PMLike 2 - I was just doing the same thing, watching utube, played some games, checked email, and just all around showing off. It p^%$#d my daughter off, she has a android tablet and really didn't appreciate all my gloating. LOL I told her that tomorrow I'd be able to use a lot of android apps, her face started turning red.
My wife talked me into letting her play with it for a while, she's ready to get rid of her kindle fire now. Can't wait to take it to work with the new OS installed, I'm going to really feel like the man.02-20-12 11:52 PMLike 4 - I just see so much potential for this that I hadn't considered before. I mean it was great the bit of fun we had tonight with it, watching videos' pics, games etc..... But this is going to be a great tool at work in the the boardroom as well !! We've always been BB and BES in the office, but a couple iProducts have started trickling in.
I see me scheduling a meeting in the next couple days, and doing a presentation with the PB -> LCD and remoting from the BB...... everyone will be WTF ???? haha, now I just need to think up a reason to call a meeting02-20-12 11:54 PMLike 8 - LOL you are such a bully! Haha
I didn't get to play much with it...just some browsing and I love it so far. Can't wait to use it as a keyboard ..I wish I would be able to play ashpalt 6 with the trackpad!
Love the new bridge, and I'll love it even more after os2fanatical likes this.02-20-12 11:56 PMLike 1 - If you have read the latest CrackBerry post, you can use it to control pretty much any HID capable blue tooth enabled device including your PS3. I don't have one, so I cant say much on that front, but if you look at Lucas's post over at N4BB, you'll see other great things you can do with Bridge, I have been trying to install it for the last few hours and still no go. I guess I need to delete the old version and download the new one. But it does give you access to the ctr alt and windows keys if you have a PC, not sure if options change when paired to a Mac but I'm guessing you can do pretty much anything you can do with your regular keyboard, including Windows shortcuts.
Cant wait to try this with Splashtop...02-20-12 11:56 PMLike 0 -
Jkris, how did modern combat work out for you ? I haven't tried it yet.02-21-12 12:01 AMLike 0 - New bridge is indeed awesome. I just used the remote on my HTC Jetstream as well as the PlayBook and it worked like a charm.
I have always stood by BlackBerry as the ultimate PHONE. If you want to communicate, send emails, texts reliably, easily and FAST it's all about a BlackBerry. Now people with Android tabs have a reason to get a BB (although I prefer PB, as any die-hard BB fan should). Use your tablet for all the advantages that that Android gives you...and have the best mobile communication device in the world for true mobility.fanatical likes this.02-21-12 12:03 AMLike 1 - So I was excited for bridge, figured it�d be a cool feature, but something I wouldn�t use much.

With my daughters 9900, it worked totally seemlessly, so nice !!!! my older 9000, was a bit clunky, had some issues scrolling, but after reading about these shorcuts, should be OK now.
I had planned on waiting for a BB10 phone, but Hmmm I think this may have pushed me into getting a 9900 while I wait02-21-12 12:06 AMLike 2 -
*side note* would you believe I just retired a PC running OS/2 this year ?? It was running some intermec interface to our AS/400 Was still running pretty well, but reboots were getting a little to frequent.SCPanther13 likes this.02-21-12 12:17 AMLike 1 - If your having trouble swiping than I suggest you move the cursor to the bottom of the page and then hold in alt and move the trackpad up. This will minimize the window.02-21-12 12:25 AMLike 0
- Ooops, I thought I was the only geezer around here that would still remember that short lived acronym
