  • BlackBerry News app for BlackBerry PlayBook

  • BlackBerry® News app 1.0
  • BlackBerry® PlayBook™
CollapseOverview

A Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feed that requires authentication or an RSS feed that is internal to a corporate network cannot be added to the BlackBerry® News app for BlackBerry® PlayBook™. This type of RSS feed may not be added using the direct link either.

When searching for a feed under these conditions it will not be found.
CollapseResolution

 By design only non-authenticated RSS feeds and those that can be accessed outside a corporate firewall can be added to the BlackBerry News app.
