IBM Lotus Traveler on BlackBerry Playbook

IBM does not officially support Traveler on the new BlackBerry Playbook OS 2.0, but our testing shows that for the most part Traveler works great on it as an integrated app (ie. added as an account through the settings screen). So far, we only run into two issues that I described below. To successfully add a Traveler account to your Playbook, you have to use Advanced Setup, select Microsoft Exchange ActiveSynch (ironic, isn't it?), leave domain empty, and instead of just typing the server name you have to use this format: yourservername.yourdomain.com/servlet/traveler.
These are the issues that we run into so far:
#1 If you accept Notes meeting invitation on your Playbook, the meeting will not be showing on your calendar in Lotus Notes. It will continue showing as unprocessed invitation.
#2 You cannot add more than one Traveler (MS Active Sync) accounts to your Playbook, if Lotus Traveler Policy Settings in Domino Directory (or Traveler Server settings in Traveler db) are configured to "require device password:
With device password being mandatory, when you add a second Traveler (MS Active Sync) accounts to your Playbook, a message comes up at the end of the setup to "Confirm Wipe". If you cancel, your new account setup will not be saved. If you click OK, your existing Traveler account will be removed form the Playbook and replaced by this one.
