RIM has sent out an update to the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet. 37MB in size, software version 2.1.0.1314 fixes a problem that users were having with in-app purchases. Another change has the latest texts in a conversation showing up on top of the list instead of the bottom. Lastly, problems related to MPEG-4 videos have been cleared up with the update.

But the best part of the update was a link posted by RIM to a special igloo update for Canadians only. The description reads,"This software release improves igloo strength by adding a base of hockey sticks to the exterior, as well as adding a heard of powerful, angry, yet playful beavers to protect the igloo. Get the Canadian only, igloo software update today at: www.blackberry.com/iglooPowerUp".

Unfortunately, the link doesn't go to a valid page. It looks like RIM is feeling good enough about the upcoming introduction of BlackBerry 10 to be in a joking mood.
