CES 2012: BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.0 Communicates

cannonwe2 Says:

Feb 4, 2012 - im actually legitimately wondering how you could possibly think that making a new playbook would be smarter. they havent even completed the first one- in fact, what this update does is gives us features we should have had on lauch. the playbook skimped out on sales, so why waste more money on a different version of something that was never completed and never got many sales? THAT, my friend, would be stupid.

Feb 5, 2012 - alot of people complained about the power button , alot of people complained about that they're is only a 7" and that it only comes in black, better cameras to compete with competition, people wanted video chat on bbm ,the only thing this update drives home is the email and calender app

cannonwe2 Says:

Feb 5, 2012 - Yes, many people have complained about the power button. Anyone complaining about the screen size can go get a different tablet, because MANY people agree that the 7 inch tablet is an ideal size. Also, the playbook's camera is amazing, and they could have video chat via bbm if they wanted it. If they released a 'Playbook 2' it would be a commercial disaster.

snowboarder1019 Says:

Feb 5, 2012 - If they offered a somewhat variety of 7 and 10 inch and white or black they might get more buyers , they are for now but they could up it and add sepia /black and white and and those things that twists photos and people want video chat they should have it laready and make the BB 10 phone lineup with it too.

cannonwe2 Says:

Feb 5, 2012 - excellent points. I think the colour could be done without releasing an entirely new playbook, though, and they don't really have the money to release another playbook anyway.as for now, I'm very excited for this release later this month.

snowboarder1019 Says:

Feb 5, 2012 - Yea , anyway when the full update comes out will the tablets in stores be upstaed to or will they not bother?

cannonwe2 Says:

Feb 5, 2012 - remember- on first startup, you qre connected to the internet and the latest software is installed. they pretty much have othing on it before the first startup

Feb 7, 2012 - As a Playbook owner, I'm glad RIM is moving forward. While, I'm excited for the v2.0 release, I'm not at all impressed. v2.0 doesn't introduce any spectacular features but rather features that should have been included from day one. RIM missed the opportunity to include BBM, which is one of the few things BlackBerry's are known for. Perhaps, RIM could release incremental updates to added new features instead of annual updates. At this rate, the Playbook may never have BBM.

Feb 9, 2012 - Blackberry is currently having a sales offer for this device starting at $199 for the 16gb slate, and I was contemplating the idea of getting one but after reading so many negative comments of it I have decided to better wait for the Asus Eee Pad MeMo 370T, a 7" 8gb (expandable memory up to 32gb thru micro sd slot) tablet with multi- touch IPS Screen, HDMI mini out, android 4 ICS, Quad Core and more in other words a FULL POWER HOUSE for only $249 and not a PlayJunk! Who Could Ask For More?

Feb 10, 2012 - As a Canadian I hate Blackberry. I love the iPad and iPhone. I use the iPhone at work and love it. I tried the Blackberry at work but it did not help me at all. I would love to seeRIM RIP. Buy RIM.

Feb 15, 2012 - the 21st of february apparently , the big thing we're getting is a plug in for android applications so its not just the kids games and useless (to me) apps

MultiBobandlarry Says:

Feb 15, 2012 - thanks, finally i get a straight answer. and yeah i agree pretty much ever app in app world is for kids or way over ppriced

MultiBobandlarry Says:

Feb 15, 2012 - never. they barley got the first one figured out...

CowardsBendTheKnee Says:

Feb 17, 2012 - @DragonFallCIA - get a free app called Air Browser

tokentreez Says:

Feb 17, 2012 - this is all great but have they gotten a working email app yet?

arriveleave Says:

Feb 18, 2012 - will this be a free update??

mattco72 Says:

Feb 19, 2012 - If RIM had put out the Playbook with PIM built in to begin with, it wouldn't be a dead platform right now. But I would venture to guess that RIM is circling the drain at this point. I was a loyal BB phone user for 10 years and bought the Playbook when it released, but the last phone I bought was crap and the playbook was great hardware but too many weaknesses and no app support.

ArkansasOrNothing Says:

Feb 19, 2012 - tablet looks plain and boring

MrMaloopi Says:
