The selling point for corporate world

The main point of this device from a corporate prospective would be the blackberry bridge. This allows you to seamlessly integrate your contacts, e-mail, text messages, and BBM (among other things) from your Blackberry smartphone running OS 5.0 or higher to your QNX powered Playbook.

This is done by pairing your devices via Bluetooth and it’s easy as that. However as always there is a ‘but’ that being, this device is Wi-Fi only, one can tether via USB, a dedicated mobile hotspot, or Bluetooth to any device.
