BlackBerry Bridge vs Tethering
Who is BlackBerry Bridge for?
BlackBerry Bridge is an app for people who have a BlackBerry smartphone running BlackBerry Device Software 5.0 or later
and a BlackBerry tablet.
Why use BlackBerry Bridge?
The BlackBerry Bridge app allows you to interact with your smartphone's email, calendars, contacts, BBM, and more–all
on the large 7" high-resolution screen of your BlackBerry tablet. When you receive new messages or reminders, such as
when your smartphone is ringing, the notifications appear right on your tablet. If your administrator allows corporate
intranet browsing, you can use the Bridge Browser to access your company's intranet.
You can also use your smartphone as a wireless mouse and keyboard for your tablet. Watch movies, surf the Internet, or
present a slideshow on your tablet's screen or a connected HDMI display, such as a TV.
