PlayBook OS 2.0 Update - Too Little, Too Late?

Published on February 26th, 2012 | by Chance Kinney in Tablets

The BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.0 update is now available as an over-the-air update, and while it brings some welcome additions to the struggling tablet, it’s not likely going to win over many new converts, either. The update brings a universal inbox for email, integration of Facebook and Twitter into the Calendar and Contacts apps, and the Print to Go app, which allows you to send a document wirelessly from a desktop computer to the PlayBook as a “digital print-out.”

Finally, there is an updated BlackBerry Bridge app, which you can now use to turn your BlackBerry smartphone into a remote control for your PlayBook. You can control media or use the smartphone as a wireless keyboard and mouse for the PlayBook. It’s an interesting addition, but in terms of usefulness for the end user, it doesn’t appear to provide a dramatic increase in functionality from what PlayBook owners experienced before.

The PlayBook OS 2.0 update is available now as an OTA update for all PlayBook owners.

Apple paying for this article? I think we all know the answer to that. Maybe you should use a playbook before writing an article. Then again apple wouldn’t be happy if you told the truth?

When I read articles like this I have to wonder if the author paid. Â Just like the playbook getting rooted right after the price drop. Â I’ve been using my playbook for 3 months and everyone grabs it at home … Why…. Because it’s great! Â (and only $200).

Oh… And the 2.0 changes are great… Even if I don’t use the new native email that I never cared about because I have a bb. Â And no one in my family of 6 cared either. Â One more thing… My kids love apple and still keep going for the playbook!

*SMH* This article is slander—RIM is being debranded bigtime. No specs mentioned at all, just another misleading article written by Apple cyber vandals.
