BlackBerry PlayBook Sees Upgrade to OS 2.0

BlackBerry has been showing off and previewing its BlackBerry Tablet OS 2.0 for a very long time, but today, the new software finally became available for download. Just like on an iPhone, it can be downloaded over the air under the "Software Updates" page of the settings. BlackBerry decided to focus its improvments on features rather than design. So while you don't see much difference in the look, it adds calendar, contacts, native email, integration with Facebook, Twitter, and even LinkedIn, as well as Bridge functions. The most exciting part; access to a few Android apps in BlackBerry World! Jump past the break for the press release...
