BlackBerry Bridge app
traffic over Wi-Fi
When your smartphone and tablet are connected using BlackBerry Bridge, and both
devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, BlackBerry Bridge apps can exchange
information between your devices using Wi-Fi instead of a Bluetooth connection.
Using a Wi-Fi connection for BlackBerry Bridge traffic can increase the speed that new
messages appear on your tablet or that large documents stored on your smartphone open.
(Requires BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.1)
Browsing changes
The Bridge Browser now only appears if your smartphone is associated with a BlackBerry
Enterprise Server so that you can access your company's intranet using the secure
connection.
For other types of Internet use, you can use the Browser app on your tablet. If your tablet is
not connected to a network, the Browser app can use your
BlackBerry smartphone's
mobile connection to access the Internet while BlackBerry Bridge is connected.
