Blackberry Playbook 2.0 released

[sound1]

Today RIM announced Os 2.0 for Playbook. Has native email & social networking client and can run android apps (well if the developer has repackaged it). Initial reviews are lukewarm but those who already bought a playbook it's a good news.

News is that there will be much more Android apps available in coming days.

This is for Playbook owners who have updated their PB with OS version 2.0, or intend to do it.
