It looks like the PlayBook update we told you about might still happen today. We are now hearing that BlackBerry Bridge v1.0.0.93 is rolling out in App World. The team at BBEmpire managed to score a screenshot of it showing v1.0.0.93 in App World along with an OTA download link for OS 6 devices.

That’s all this updates? I was hoping for more such as:
-Major CODEC compatibility (I’d like to see an app that adds codecs too if possible like K-lite)
-Bridge doesn’t detect media files stored in my phone. It’d be nice if they added the ability to transfer/copy files back and forth as well.
-Bridge doesn’t Copy/Paste in email
-Can’t see/send sms/mms messages
-Needs Swype
-Universal Search like OS6/7
-Turn-by-Turn voice guided GPS (I’d even be willing to pay for an App that can save the maps and updates on the PB as well)
-Blackberry App world needs a back button in the MY WORLD in order to go back to the original page you were last at.
-Spell Checker & add to Dictionary option like my phone.
-File managing for my apps and bookmarks. Be able to rename my bookmarks and arrange them in folders like Windows)
- That “Dot” in Android that easily helps you fix mispelled or change words.
-Native BBM App
- USB hosting to connect external devices like printers, Digital cameras and external Hard drives.
-Camera Zoom when using the video camera
Camera needs to shoot pictures quicker- feels sluggish to take pics
-Yahoo Messenger, Skype and OoVoO- what good is the front facing cam if you can’t put it to good use!
-Silverlight
On a different note- Here’s a few accessories/Apps I’d like to see:
-A Dock that has full size USB, HDMI and possibly SDHC in addition to the MicroUSB. That way you can actually have better use for it than the rapid charging one they currently sell.
-a dock that lets you connect multiple devices to the PB via wifi/Bluetooth such as a printer, camera, or hard drive.

Still looks like AT&T isn’t supported. I wish the carriers were taken out of the loop on this stuff. We shouldn’t be limited to what our carriers are willing to allow. Charge us for the data we use and don’t worry so much about what device we are getting it on.
