So after day two of my Blackberry playbook with OS 2 I must say hats off rim! Great job! There are so many things i like about what rim has done that I made a list!!
- Native Contacts App - Blackberry managed to take all the people you know in your contacts, facebook, twitter, and linkedin and merge them together into one great experience! as well as adding the friends that have blackberry playbooks automatically to the native video chat app.
- Android App Player - While I have only experimented with a few Apps overall the experience has been pleasant. There are some great apps in Blackberry App World that take advantage of the player including Words with friends, Overdrive, tap talk. Those are just some of the apps and i am sure there are more out there.
- Blackberry Bridge - It was there before the update to 2.0 but now it is supercharged! Remote control of the playbook from the touch screen Bold 9930 is great.
- Folders and Blades added to the homescreen. I know it is silly but nice to have them.
- Podcast app updated! Now I can add podcasts using an RSS feed!!
- Video store! - Finally. It is about time. All the other major OS platforms are taking advantage of it
While i do like the update there are still some features that are lacking. That is not to say rim did not do a whole lot right, just would like to see some further changes to take it to the next level. First, it needs to be able to sync the contacts and calender from a blackberry phone directly. Rim has made a good design choice because you can access other calendars that are not associated with you blackberry but i would like to think if you have a playbook then you have a BB phone. Otherwise nice update! I did have a glitch on my first install and lost some apps but a quick 20 minute wipe and i was back up and running! So overall I have to say!! GO RIM!!
