Blackberry Assistant via Bluetooth while Driving
Cortana in WP8 has the ability to automatically read incoming text messages via Bluetooth, w/o the user/driver having to touch the phone. This ability is awesome when driving. It enables the driver to focus on the road w/o having to touch their phone.
Does BBA have the ability to do this? As of now, it seems that I have to press the mute key in order to activate BBA, then I can tell it to read to me my last message. This is extremely inconvenient and unsafe compared to using Cortana on WP8.
Are there any other apps besides "Drive Safely" that would enable my phone to do this?
This feature ought to be high priority for a company that prides itself on helping people on the go to get things done (safely).
The ability to interact with your phone via Bluetooth, without ever having to touch your device, is extremely useful while driving, shopping, taking a walk, watching little kids, doing the dishes, working on a project, etc.
Once you've used Cortana in these types of situations, it's hard to go backwards with BBA. :(
