These rented or bought shows will be able to be output at 1080p via HDMI, and can use this content on any other device running the roxio software. In addition you will have the ability to turn your BlackBerry Smartphone into a keyboard or mouse to navigate your BlackBerry PlayBook, using the BlackBerry Bridge Remote Control feature.

All in All RIM clearly sees that they will need to pull up their socks and start to stay competitive in a market that demands such actions. It is clearly seen here with the upcoming release of the OS 2.0 for the PlayBook that RIM has finally stepped up their game, making it one step closer to filling in the hole they have unfortunately dug for themselves.
