Blackberry PlayBook Updates

Was bound to happen. People misusing it to port even paid apps freely was always going to cause problems. Hope the major developers jump onto the platform and provide native apps or make the popular apps available through their own sources.

Bored to see OS1 images being used even now

this is the start of the frustrating cycle that drives people towards either suicide or custom ROM's.

By the way , I am reading this update is mostly bug fixes... Also Zinio and Tv on the go apps are pushed as well.

The major positive with this update are a better speedier browser, also occasionally Android Player used to hang on some app, and required a restart of the device for it to start working again, a recent workaround suggested which worked was too open as many apps as possible, so that the android player gets shut internally. Now even if there is a hang, within 1 or so min, Android player gets shut internally without using a system restart.By shut, I mean not running in background, when we close the android player using the standard x symbol, it continues to run in background, now playbook seems to manage it better.
