Research In Motion releases vital PlayBook software upgrade

Posted by globe (#2) 452 days ago (http://www.theglobeandmail.com)

The PlayBook OS 2.0 update, which is free to download for RIM's tablet users over a wireless connection, brings a native e-mail application, a better calendar app, and a much deeper contact list that pulls in LinkedIn information and a live feed of news affecting a contact's company.

At first glance, the new operating system upgrade is sleek. The new integrated e-mail inbox pulls in social media feeds – such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter – in a format that is much smoother than the PlayBook's older e-mail application. The e-mail client also now has predictive typing, which is a big improvement over the previous version.
