This seems to be mainly for android devs as no new version of the native or WebWorks (so far behind) SDKs are available.

The runtimes are probably all updated though, regardless.

Probably, but it’s still disappointing for devs AND end users, because the features set of the Tablet OS won’t be extended. It will simply be replaced by BB10, in 6 months…

Thought we would be able to text though Blackberry Bridge with this update ( 2.1.0.840). Rim disappoints again.
