Yes, but the .bbb format is mentioned in the docs:

.bbb was used for Mac backups also, but those .bbb files contained .ipd files. The new method .bbb files contain a series of .tar files (yes, the standard UNIX tape archive file). The Elcomsoft documentation is referring to legacy Mac .bbb files, not the new method.

It seems to me like the information (if any) is scattered on their site "here and there" and it is in no way "clear" (or "not vague") and there are confusing references to EPPB and EBBE.
A simple list of devices supported (and not supported) would do miracles to make that thingy understandable IMHO.
Unless there is line drawn *somewhere* between "smartphones" and "Playbook devices" and I cannot understand (call me tough as much as you want) how it can "only recover the passwords for such files, but cannot decrypt them."<img src="images/smiles/icon_question.gif" alt="Question" title="Question" />
I find their site equally frustrating. If they could break into a BlackBerry 10 phone, I would think they would announce it to the world. For instance, they announced this month that they had enabled iPhone 5 and iPad 4 physical acquisition. I, honestly, got excited for a minute. Big press release (http://www.elcomsoft.com/news/551.html). In fact, all they did was automate the process of acquiring a physical image of an already jailbroken device with SSH enabled and with default SSH password. They didn't enable anything that wasn't already possible, just made it easier.
They want you to buy EPPB (Elcomsoft Phone Password Breaker) and EBBE (Elcomsoft BlackBerry Backup Explorer). That's why EPPB will only recover the password and EBBE will only extract the data from the .ipd files. .ipd files cannot normally be parsed on a computer without special tools like EBBE or ABC Amber BlackBerry Converter.
