SlideBoard feature comes to BlackBerry Keyboard beta app in Google Play Store
If you own an Android-powered BlackBerry model without a physical keyboard, a new beta version of the BlackBerry Keyboard app is waiting for you in the Google Play Store. And with the app comes "SlideBoard." With this new feature, sliding your finger left or right on the virtual keyboard will reveal two panels. One shows four phrases that can be customized by the user for quick replies while messaging. The other panel has a dedicated numbers pad along with some widely used symbols.

As we said, this new feature is in beta, which means it might require additional work to make it ready for prime time. We should point out that only one of the panels can be seen at a time.


To reiterate, the SlideBoard beta is available only for those BlackBerry models running on Android without a physical keyboard. While that would rule out the BlackBerry KEYone, the app will apparently work with the new BlackBerry Motion.
