Confirmed, shows up on Rogers in Canada. Had to update appworld, reboot, refresh a few times. Finally showed up! I am now using it to type this on my Torch 9810. And yes it works on Playbook OS 1.08 the last official release!

By the way, hold ALT on keyboard while dragging on bridge trackpad to SCROLL webpages.

Oh yeah, also downloading Asphalt and Modern Combat. Thanks crackberry for spreading the news! Wouldn't have known otherwise, not showing up in features apps even. Playbook users feeling the love tonight! :-)

Playbook OS 1.08.6067
Torch 9810

B1aze, maybe now would be a good time to promote http://rroyy.com/ota/ for this. They've got it up.

Also, on my phone I'm seeing "open link on Playbook" when I do a hold down on a link. It doesn't do anything yet on the Playbook.

Just saw that Works pretty good. Have a little bit of trouble swiping up to switch apps, but it could be me getting used to how it works.

So much for free economy. What a joke!

 
 
Posted by cjterminator Monday, Feb 20, 2012 91 days ago

guys, make sure you do not try new bridge functionality till OS2.0 is also installed :) They wanted to delay Bridge update to 21-Feb also for that purpose.

 
 
Posted by Rgainsmi Monday, Feb 20, 2012 91 days ago

Already have, it works fine...excellent actually!

 
 
Posted by pushfan Monday, Feb 20, 2012 91 days ago

Posted by Jean-luc_Picard Monday, Feb 20, 2012 91 days ago

It was there for me, but wouldn't let me download, and then I rebooted and it didn't show up as an update at all! Am I too much of a nerd if I'm panicky right now?

 
 
Posted by eKafara Monday, Feb 20, 2012 91 days ago

Same thing happening for me. Contemplating deleting bridge, rebooting my phone and then seeing what happens.

 
 
Posted by jerybis Monday, Feb 20, 2012 91 days ago

you need to press ALT + rst inside your app world. then it will refresh the list. if after a while the refresh takes too long, just make a soft reboot hold a couple of second ALT + SHIFT + DEL or pull out oyur battery.
once rebooted, go again to app world and you should see a refresh automatically.

 
 
Posted by sgt_snacks-64 Monday, Feb 20, 2012 91 days ago

Remote works, Open on Playbook works

All on OS2 Beta :)

 
 
Posted by chrism_scotland Monday, Feb 20, 2012 91 days ago

Posted by tprime Monday, Feb 20, 2012 91 days ago

wow the remote feature working great!!!!

 
 
Posted by rexxenex Monday, Feb 20, 2012 91 days ago

shows the update but no 'upgrade' to click lol... ill try again in a bit

 
 
Posted by Abrante Monday, Feb 20, 2012 91 days ago

Same here. I deleted it and am waiting for it to reboot. That should force it to download the latest version.

 
 
Posted by Rgainsmi Monday, Feb 20, 2012 91 days ago

Within AppWorld:

Refresh List or ALT+RST

Updating from within Bridge never seems to work.

 
 
Posted by Abrante Monday, Feb 20, 2012 91 days ago

If all else fails. Delete the app and re-install... It will force it to re-install the updated version. Worked like a charm for me.

 
 
Posted by rexxenex Monday, Feb 20, 2012 91 days ago

downloading now!!!!!! Boom!!!!

Posted by raddbj03 Monday, Feb 20, 2012 91 days ago

just refreshed my list and am currently downloading (green bay, wi)

 
 
Posted by Daeve Monday, Feb 20, 2012 91 days ago

Hmm looks like it was pulled from my UK server. Was showing update available in app world, but no option to upgrade when clicked on it. Now it has no update available in app world. 2 battery pulls/ alt -rst's no joy. Check for updates within bridge shows I have the latest... maybe the volume of downloads?

 
 
Posted by Bolderholder Monday, Feb 20, 2012 91 days ago

Not yet available here in T.O.!! Checked App World..nada. Did the old "CTRL R S T" thing...says "Upgrade Available", but nothing happens when BB Bridge is selected.

Anyone else in the GTA seeing the same?

 
 
Posted by Abrante Monday, Feb 20, 2012 91 days ago

Delete the app and re-install. It will force the upgrade!

The excitement got to RIM too.....prematurely released..... ;o)

They swore that never happened before...lol...

 
 
Posted by tprime Monday, Feb 20, 2012 91 days ago

i had to delete the old bridge first. when i reinstalled it was new bridge.

 
 
Posted by Abrante Monday, Feb 20, 2012 91 days ago

Same method that worked for me. I kept getting the "upgrade available" but no update button. lol

 
 
Posted by cletis Monday, Feb 20, 2012 91 days ago

All i needed to do was refresh the list, then the Update button showed up.

This is awesome! Typing this off my 9900!! The remote feature works amazing!

 
 
Posted by Cazurela Monday, Feb 20, 2012 91 days ago

Still no update on BB Bridge at this point. Maybe it will be slower for OS6 devices like my 9800 Torch?

 
 
Posted by seb.hebert Monday, Feb 20, 2012 91 days ago

nope, got it on mine after a few refreshes
try all methods mentioned above :)

 
 
Posted by jasperlin Monday, Feb 20, 2012 91 days ago

how do i do a refresh?? panicking, mucan't remember. must get it now!

 
 
Posted by Abrante Monday, Feb 20, 2012 91 days ago

Open AppWorld and hold Alt and press R S T...

If that doesn't work for you just delete the App and when you re-install the update will take its place.

 
 
Posted by 2ys4u Monday, Feb 20, 2012 91 days ago

In App World, go to your list of apps , tap menu key then tap refresh :)njoy!

Posted by Abrante Monday, Feb 20, 2012 91 days ago

If you mean the remote control feature. Once you are bridged go to your bluetooth connections (where it shows the paired device) on your phone and you'll see the use remote control button. You should be good after that :)

Posted by sdmcdowell05 Monday, Feb 20, 2012 91 days ago

Remote is incredible. Playbook is hooked up to my tv via hdmi. I am on my couch using it as a huge playbook! The only thing I am having trouble with at the moment is scrolling down on a web page.

 
 
Posted by -RYknow Monday, Feb 20, 2012 91 days ago

Scrolling is working good for me, just need to use two fingers instead of 1.

I'm having an issue with the presenter feature. If I go into my photos, I can use the Next button, but the previous botton isn't working. Minor issue, but hopefully it gets straightened out.

 
 
Posted by cblguy Monday, Feb 20, 2012 91 days ago

if you're using a trackpad, hold the alt key and you'll be scrolling through your page!!

Got mine :)

Update : typing with the remote typing feature now which is a go with this new version of bridge!!

 
 
Posted by nifty5 Monday, Feb 20, 2012 91 days ago

Its working. For those not seeing the upgrade. You can delete the current version that you have, reboot & then go back into app world. If you dont see the new version you might have to refresh the app list & then it should show up.

Took me a few times to get it but its finally working on my 9900 on TELUS.

Thinking that RIM will release 2.0 a few hours early to show just a little love to PB owners.

Hi @BigAl_BB9900,

Alex from RIM here. Thanks for all of the positive feedback and I love to see the excitement! Since you’re making the most of the new BlackBerry Bridge app, I recommend checking out this video (http://bbry.lv/z1IsJk) that highlights the new BlackBerry Bridge features in PlayBook 2.0. It really shows off the power of your smartphone and tablet working together, including the ability to use your phone’s keyboard as a wireless remote control for your PlayBook.

Cheers,

Alex, RIM Social Media Team

I downloaded this from rroyy.com (because I'm on AT&T). After I installed it, I rebooted my phone.
As soon as my phone started I got a white screen that says App Error and my phone shut down and it won't started up again.

Any help would be appreciated (did 3 battery pulls so far to no avail).

I have a 9700 running 6.0.0.723

Thanks

EDIT: My phone magically started working again without me touching it :) Loving the new remote feature!!

Posted by matkas Monday, Feb 20, 2012 91 days ago

Did you know that the remote feature works with PB OS 1..6067?
I was surprised and it is awesome!

Edit

I just saw Some one mentioning it earlier .
Nerver mind ( but it still awesome)

 
 
Posted by jefo13 Monday, Feb 20, 2012 91 days ago

For those on 7.1 make sure you download the right bridge if doing OTA, my icon would not show and then noticed RROYY reposted a 7.1 version. That dude Rocks!

 
 
Posted by bitek Monday, Feb 20, 2012 91 days ago

Refresh worked for me to get 2.0 and remote control also works well. I am typing this on my 9810. Now I want 9900 with beautiful keyboard !

Posted by linuxdaemon Monday, Feb 20, 2012 91 days ago

The remote wasn't working for me until I rebooted my playbook. But after that it's working like a charm. Just that update is so cool CAN'T WAIT for official 2.0!

Anyone else notice the revamped bridge icons.

mine did as well, but to be completely honest, I never used it anyways. I always used the regular browser.

 
 
Posted by salamakal Monday, Feb 20, 2012 91 days ago

was wondering if it was coming from ATT or the update.

 
 
Posted by ashdeltor Monday, Feb 20, 2012 91 days ago

OMG this is working great! This is what I've been waiting for. Man when 2.0 drop its on like Dunky Kong!!
But you're right the bridge browser disappeared.

Please help: downloaded the new Bridge and now my 9900 "hangs" when trying to turn bridge "on". Can't pair it with my Pbook. Using OS 7.1.0.74

 
 
Posted by just_luc Monday, Feb 20, 2012 91 days ago

I'm having the same problem.. tried rebooting, deleting and re-installing bridge.. nothing works.. can't re-pair..

 
 
Posted by kb2755 Monday, Feb 20, 2012 91 days ago

Also having an issue on 7.1.0.74, It looks like our 9900 OS might be the issue.

No one else seems to really be having issues with Bridge except us and there have been a number of updates to our phones since .74 leaked. This leads me to think that our OS doesn't support the new Bridge app.

I'm going to try an OS update tomorrow and see if that solves the issue.

Very cool. Typing this on my Torch 9850, which makes a great screen for remote controlling the PlayBook. Gonna try the control functions for the media player, to see if I can chill on the sofa and control the PB connected to my TV.

One more nite...then 2.0!

Edit: Remote Control works perfectly with the video player. Xcelent!

Soooo impressed with the new features so far....I had to post this on my facebook page:

RIM released a long awaited update to the Bridge app...you can now control your Playbook remotely from your BB phone...WAY TO GO RIM!!! Now, after tomorrow's release of the new Playbook OS2, you will be able to download and use many Android apps on Playbook, among other awesome features!!! Poor Apple users...while I can hook up my Playbook's HDMI 1080p connection and watch the latest movie I downloaded to my 50" plasma tv and control EVERYTHING with my BB Torch...you can sit and watch Canadian Netflix on your 9.8" iPad, as Apple controls everything you do. Moooooooooo..... hehehe. :)

Posted by cribble2k Tuesday, Feb 21, 2012 91 days ago

I just found out that (on non-touch screen BlackBerries) you can preform the same gestures with the track pad as you could with your finger on the screen of the playbook.

For example, on my 9700, if you move the cursor to the bottom of the screen (or any other edge) you can hold the alt key, then click the track pad to preform the needed action. So, if you moved the cursor to the bottom of the screen (app running), the cursor turns to a upward arrow, hold alt and click, it takes you to the home screen.

Confirmed on "app menus" (top) and scrolling apps sideways.

You can also hold the track pad button down over an app (home screen) and swipe up to close.
