BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.0 ist da – Funktionen, Funktionen, Funktionen

Wer ein BlackBerry PlayBook besitzt wird wohl den heutigen Tag ganz fett im Kalender anstreichen und ihn auch nicht so schnell wieder vergessen, denn der Hersteller RIM hat heute das PlayBook OS 2.0 endlich freigegeben, welches eigentlich schon seit dem Launch des Tablets erwartet wird. Jetzt ist es endlich da und bringt einen ganzen Haufen an neuen Funktionen mit.

Unter anderem dürfen sich die Nutzer nun endlich über die nativen Apps für Kalender, eMail und Co. freuen, zudem wurden auch Apps für Linkedin und Twitter in das System integriert. Des Weiteren wurde heute ein neuer Videostore gelauncht, man hat am Browser einige Verbesserungen vorgenommen und zig neue Apps (auch Android-Apps) in die App World hinzugefügt. Das hierzulande 500MB große Update sollte euch in den Einstellungen zum Download zur Verfügung stehen. [via, Quelle]
