RIM Confirms PlayBook Android Player Getting Multi-Tasking & More - BerryReview

"We heard during BlackBerry World about some features coming in PlayBook OS 2.1 but now RIM has confirmed the ones related to the PlayBook Android Player publicly. The only quirk is that RIM says they will be coming with BlackBerry 10 so make of that what you will. "

So.. Maybe not in OS 2.1, but atleast by BB10 - we will have it.

they have also said that no current blackberry model would get bb10. not sure about playbook though.

But it talks about getting these things on board by summer... Whereas they said BB10 is expected early next year.. So are we looking at 2.1 as an "in progress" version of the BB10?

----------

Oh - Playbook is assured of BB10 .. That is old old news.

----------

Actually, I would say its something like BB7 is Gingerbread, Playbook OS2 is Honeycomb & BB10 is ICS....

----------

So older BB devices may not get BB10 .. just like many Gingerbread phones wont.... Most high-end Tablets will get ICS, so will the new phones

----------

In fact, checked back & see what I found - I have even posted it here on March 15th!!!!!

Well we have had a few people @ RIM mentioning it here & there. But here is an official confirmation

RIM confirms BB10 is coming to BlackBerry Playbook | News | TechRadar

But going by their previous history. Need to wait & watch
