BlackBerry has debuted the update to its tablet operating system at CES, the PlayBook OS 2.0, which brings quite a few new features with it. The update goes nicely with the recent price cut the tablet got in India.
The new OS 2.0 finally brings native email and calendar clients to Research In Motion’s tablet – something that was sorely missed. Along with the ability to multi-task in emails, the unified inbox allows users to manage multiple email accounts as well as social networking sites like Twitter, LinkedIn and others.
The other cool feature that PlayBook OS 2.0 brings is BlackBerry Bridge, which allows a user’s BlackBerry smartphone to act as a keyboard and mouse for the PlayBook. So you can now type on that comfortable, super-fast QWERTY keyboard without needing to resort to the touchscreen virtual one.
These improvements and others listed below in the press release make the BlackBerry PlayBook a much stronger tablet to contend with, especially given the huge price cut it has gotten in India recently. A few days ago, BGR reported that RIM had slashed the price of the 64GB BlackBerry PlayBook to Rs. 19,990.
