BlackBerry just announced Playbook OS 2 which finally makes the Playbook useful. As opposed to the silly joke it was! The new OS, which really should have launched with the Playbook, adds e-mail, calendar and contacts. Finally! From the company that brought e-mail to your pocket, there’s e-mail on their tablet.
The e-mail app looks a lot like other landscape tablet e-mail apps with a universal inbox and notification options. RIM is adding a better keyboard (with text prediction) and easier text formatting in the OS update, as well. The contacts app is a social hub with people’s information from Twitter and LinkedIn (haha, business!) being displayed in their contact card. The update is supposed to release in February 2012.
