Blackberry PlayBook Updates

[mhsabir]

Like I mentioned before, because of leaks & various people trying to root and access it, it had become obvious a while back that BB10 on Playbook may not be as smooth an experience, and I for one had expected them to release a 2.2 (Kind of what Windows did with 7.8 to old devices), to pacify the public & when the news broke that they are no longer seeing tablet as a viable market, even that became a question. But seriously, to keep users happy and potentially create new customers, they could have atleast tried releasing a few patches , like this article mentions...

However, with no BlackBerry 10 scheduled for release, those hopefuls cried for at least the core updates (Cascades, Browser, Android runtime, etc.)

First we had an odd leak of an OS for the PlayBook and now we have an official release. BlackBerry has pushed out OS 2.1.0.1753 as an official OS release for the device. This update packs in 390MB+ so its a whopper. On the other hand it includes an updated Adobe Flash for security along with other “Tweaks & Bug Fixes”

Its 373 MB here. Have just hit update a few minutes ago..

It's nice that they're still giving updates for a 2.5 yr old device.

Probably getting bored sitting in the office with nothing to do.

Yeah.. Only catch is that they were atleast 1 year behind (in features) when they launched it :sinister:
