well as expanded app and content support,” said David J. Smith, SVP Mobile

documents, web pages, emails and photos that appear on your BlackBerry
smartphone and display them on BlackBerry PlayBook for an optimized viewing and
editing experience.

control feature that allows a BlackBerry smartphone to be used as a wireless
keyboard and mouse for a BlackBerry PlayBook.

 

Updated document editing functions, the new Print To Go
app, and increased control and manageability of corporate data with BlackBerry
