Remember when the PlayBook was released, and everyone was all giddy to go and download BlackBerry Bridge was soon as it was live, only to realize that AT&T customers were not supported? Well, after what feels like an eternity it appears as though today AT&T customers will have the ability to download the application officially through BlackBerry App World.

Keep in mind, you can still download the "unofficial" version from right here but AT&T could still try to charge you in order to get tethering to work.
