Blackberry PlayBook Can Tether To Any Phone?
Though many feared that the Blackberry PlayBook tablet would only be able to tether to Blackberry phones, it turns out this is not the case. The PlayBook will play nice with any phone – all that is required is Bluetooth. This does well to compensate for the lack of a 3G option on the PlayBook which would have drastically reduced its competitiveness with other leading tablets like the Galaxy Tab or iPad – and in my opinion still does. Competing on a completely different front with its new OS, lacking an integral feature like 3G at this price range doesn’t make much sense. This tethering news helps to alleviate that somewhat. This information came from CrackBerry, though, and not RIM themselves, so we’ll see how it all pans out.
