BlackBerry Bridge finally becomes a reality for AT&T customers

Well, that certainly took some time, but the inevitable is final here for AT&T customers as they’re now able to download the BlackBerry Bridge app from the App World.

Brining on some much needed core functionality to RIM’s tablet, like finally being able to see your calendar and emails on the BlackBerry PlayBook, the BlackBerry Bridge app is required to be installed on a BlackBerry smartphone in order for it to work jointly with the PlayBook. When BlackBerry Bridge first came lurking onto the scene, AT&T BlackBerry owners were sorely left out of the mix – though, they’re now finally able to download it for free.

However, it’s worth noting that you’ll be forced to subscribe to a $20 per month tethering plan in order to browse the web on the PlayBook as it’s tethered to your network connected BlackBerry smartphone.
