BlackBerry users: Do you want a separate BBM account on your PlayBook?

I can definitely understand seeing BlackBerry PlayBook owners who don’t have BlackBerry smartphones to want native BBM on their PlayBook without the bridge.  But for BlackBerry users – do you actually want a separate BBM account on your PlayBook?  As of now it requires BlackBerry Bridge where you connect your BlackBerry smartphone with your PlayBook.

For me, I find it easier to have the single BBM account just because my PlayBook won’t be with me at all times and it can get frustrating getting in touch with people when they’re not available on the device.  Assuming RIM does release BBM natively on the PlayBook, what if we could sign in and out as we please?  It would be more like any other messenger client and it would definitely be useful for those rockin’ the WiFi PlayBook, which is all that’s coming out for now til Sprint makes their 4G launch in the summer.
