It was only a short time ago that we asked the CrackBerry Nation if you were still using your PlayBook and the results were very much in favor of the BlackBerry tablet — despite not getting the update to BlackBerry 10.
For you folk still rocking the PlayBook you'll want to hit up your BlackBerry 10 smartphones and grab the latest version of BlackBerry Bridge - v3.3.0.30. The new offerings in this update may well be small but it will be a key feature that many folk have wanted since day one and for those of you that use the BlackBerry tablet daily you're going to love this:

As I said - it may be small, but it's still encouraging to see BlackBerry giving us improvements for the PlayBook - instead of dropping support all together.
