It is a huge problem that there is no way in the desktop manager to directly sync calender, tasks, contacts, notes between Mac/BB Bold 9700 and Playbook. People do not trust google, especially with the recent cars scanning wifi passwords, and security bypasses on both apple and windows browsers.
Also, when you do release the next iteration of desktop manager, add a folder called berry documents or something where you can keep work files (excel, word, etc..) that are always kept the latest edited version. That way I can start a doc on my Mac OSX, then review it on playbook, then print it or edit it and show it to people then update etc.. you get the idea.
Oh Yea, I just got off a crackberry forum with like fifty posts about people furious over the calender and contacts, and desktop manager lack of sync. I didn't add to the chorus but it was a bit of a roar.
You need to conceptualize a system that keeps the BB Phones, Playbook, Mac/Win, (Mail/Contacts Servers like Google, exchange, apple mail/ contacts) all in sync automatically. People are talking about a berry cloud. I personally think that people don't trust the cloud (I know nobody business trusts the Google services) so you should build a little cloud server for the desktop manager, that creates a webserver that can handle Dynamic IP. It should force a password update once a month. If you do decide to do cloud services, make them free (to at least consumers), or apple wins. If you do pricing on a corporate cloud go easy.
Either way you need to come up with something innovative, that is comparable to the competition with sync services. If people can use world of warcraft reliably from any network, then this personal server idea is doable.
No matter what though, don't kill battery life, or make the OS slow on playbook.
