One of the highlights with the BlackBerry OS update 10.3.1 is the availability of BlackBerry Blend.
Basically it gives you the opportunity to access data from your BlackBerry by pairing the device with your computer or tablet.
You then use the BlackBerry Blend app on your computer/tablet to access the BlackBerry Blend Dashboard which gives you access to work as well as personal accounts/data
You can read/answer your messages on a bigger screen and use the keyboard to type but the real benefit in my opinion is that you don’t have to configure your work account on your private tablet or transfer files from you device. As BlackBerry puts it “No saving to a cloud, no transferring information between devices. It’s just there.”
There are a few settings which are controlled by BES policies so you might have to check with your admin if a feature does now work. Policies for BlackBerry Blend are available in BES 10.2.4 or later.
