BlackBerry PlayBook 2.0

I've been working with the PlayBook OS 2.0 update for a few weeks now analyzing features of the updated software, and I have to say, they are pretty slick. From the deeper integration of the contact and calendar list with social networks, to the visual cues of the calendar--for instance, bigger numbers mean a busier day--the company has shown it is paying attention to the details. Also , I'm totally loving the native email client (finally)!!!

I was however, a little disappointed in the Android app integration only because I had misinterpreted it as being an Android app player that cold emulate any Android app I wanted from the Marketplace. Not the case...as you can only download Android apps that have already been ported to the app store and the PlayBook Android integration is seamless (this explains why Android developers are getting free PlayBooks).

RIM's recently launched Mobile Fusion service, which finally brings secure e-mail to its PlayBook, is something that may turn some IT managers' heads. Features like the ability to send a "kill command" to wipe just the work data, and not the personal information, are a step in the right direction...
