port open office

[WHAT]

1. ] Karl has some interesting perspectives on what changes blackberry should make to its blackberry 10 os to break some new ground. He writes ...
2. ] You have remote filesystem access, not just by cloud (e.g. Box and Dropbox) but also by native support to Windows and Mac users.  Nobody else does without using clunky third-party options.
3. ] You also have the security model - including high-grade VPN support -- necessary for this to be reasonably safe in the enterprise environment.

[WHY]

1. ] Open S/MIME - for everyone ( aka secure email)
2. ] port open office -
3. ] implement a wifi based method to display your phone screen on to another screen -
4. ] dongle - Build a dongle that has a HDMI and DVI output on the other end and a driver on the phone for it.  Since QNX makes drivers all modular, this should be easy.  Now I have a way to display things from the phone wirelessly.  Yes, I know about Miracast and DLNA; neither does the job here really.  This is not about "gaming-level" performance, it's about the average office-workers level of need in terms of display speed.
5. ] You already have Bluetooth mouse and keyboard support.  Do you see where I'm going yet?
6. ] Allow external displays to run in their native resolution.  This allows Open Office to have a full 1920 x 1080 display (or whatever is on the LCD panel you're using).  Start with a "panel" inside for native phone apps that don't recognize anything beyond native applications but allow the next version of the SDK to support (but not require) the ability of an app to use the full pixel size it has available if it wishes.

[WHEN]

1. ] Because now I have a tiny (and inexpensive) dongle that plugs into any existing monitor or display device (think projector, LCD panel on my desk, etc) and with the Bluetooth mouse and keyboard allows me to replace a tablet and/or laptop for most common office uses. 
2. ] It's one device with a unified view and file store that replaces three devices today -- the modest desktop PC for general office purposes, the tablet and the phone.

[EXAMPLE]

1.  ]This would be vastly superior to a tablet because it also is communications hub, in that it makes calls, sends text messages, has the Hub, and similar.  It also is completely portable when I don't need to larger screen.  I can carry a screen only if I want a "tablet-style" screen with me.  I can carry the Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, using the plug-module, and have a full laptop style capability nearly anywhere.  Remote file access lets me have a unified file store on my office computer or network under my control, not on some nebulous cloud.
