BlackBerry PlayBook 2.0 to launch February 17th?
Share:
The improvements in BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.0 bring a new e-mail client to the device along with a calendar app and a contacts list that is integrated with LinkedIn. Additionally, some new enhancements have been made to the BlackBerry Bridge. When we showed you a video demonstration of the OS earlier this month, we told you that some Android apps were running on Playbook 2.0 and we were told that existing Android apps can be submitted by developers to BlackBerry AppWorld.
If RIM does rollout the PlayBook OS 2.0 update on February 17t, it would be nearly 10 months after the launch of the actual BlackBerry PlayBook tablet. That really seems too long to wait to make much-needed improvements to the device. With RIM's recently leaked roadmap showing that the Canadian manufacturer plans on releasing two tablets this year, including a first anniversary BlackBerry PlayBook refresh, RIM will need to prove that it can produce a tablet that can compete in a highly competitive market.

February 17th not a problem,I can wait not being an instant gratification freak. All the footage I have seen on Utube looks terrific. It looks like Playbook OS 2.0 should really make that device and the Blackberry system into something even more valuable and useful for Crackberry devotees. I will now be able to usevthe keyboard on my 9800 to type messages on my Playbook and much.much more. I haven't looked backk since becoming a Blacberry and look fforward to upgrading my system when the new Blackberry 10 handset(s) are released late 2012.
