At CES 2012, Zinio made its presence and had a little surprise for some of us who have been waiting to see if the company had anything in store for us Berry users or not.  It looks like they have developed their Zinio magazine reader application for the BlackBerry PlayBook and even gave a little sneak peek of the application as well.  According to RIM, once the app becomes available in App World you can download it and receive $25 credit for the Zinio store to purchase your magazine and other reading content.  Check out the video above for the teaser.

Awesome feature shown off today by RIM at CES 2012.  We already know OS 2.0 would be shown off a bit as it is expected to launch next month.  However, we were unsure if RIM had anymore tricks up their sleeves and it turns out they did as we’re all shocked by this one.  BlackBerry Bridge currently allows you to view native apps from your BlackBerry smartphone on your PlayBook (email, BBM, Calendar, etc).  This new feature lets you use your BlackBerry smartphone as a mouse and keyboard for the BlackBerry PlayBook!  Some of you are thinking why you would need this.  Over all, it’s an awesome feature just to use, and if you like connecting your BlackBerry smartphone to your TV, then this will come handy.

The feature is expected to take off with OS 2.0 which is launching in February.
