    BB10?

    • Compton

      just installed on my bold and bb10 loaded! wow!

      Mike BB10 is for grown ups. Don’t concern yourself with it. I believe your iPhone came with a huge box of crayons that should keep you busy until the next iPieceoShit comes out.

    Why bother? Rim is dead.

      Back under the bridge troll!

    This is not BB10. BB10 will be released later this year or early 2013.

      Early 2013 for RIM usually means December 31 , 11:59 PM

    For all the people that bash the playbook, I have to assume you never actually used it?

    yes it has had its software issues, however the new OS is actually very nice, and fast. Browsing the web is great, editing documents is easy.

    what else do you need your tablet for? if you only want something to play games get an Android or Ipad, if you are more buiness/casual brower minded, this really is one of the best tablets to get for the price.

    Just like Eddie said, Playbook is for real user and those who’s bashing the Playbook I believe they’ve never used a Playbook at all….maybe they don’t even have money to buy a coby tablet at 79.99$….jealous people !!

    Playbook is good now. I have both an ipad and a playbook at home. Both have pros and cons, but Playbook holds it’s own very well. Also, it seems they’re starting to get more apps now.

    Updating now hopefully I won’t have to send it back to RIM again for repairs like the last time. I have had so many issues with this tablet from not charging or turning on all due to software glitches. Hope this fixes some of them.

    Since switching my cell to the Galaxy S3, I haven’t been able to turn on my Playbook and get past the blackberry ID log in portion…no clue why. Yet, when I go on blackberries website, i can log in just find with my BBID. Anyone know why?

    I have had all the tablets and the playbook is way better than the rest. It is solid with amazing external sound. I don’t have to since with itunes. I can load on piles of books and tunes. It’s a breeze to add movies and aftermarket apps all for free. Seven of my coworkers traded the ipad for the playbook after using mine. If I was to have one complaint it would be the lack of a usb port for external media. The Microsoft tablet will soon arrive and I am looking forward to testing it. What is rims new tablet really offering me?

    Why can’t I update the software, no update for me

    • ash

      Even I am unable to get the latest OS. My PB currently has 2.0.1.358 and on checking for updates says that it has the latest update. Can anyone help us?

  • miked

    i live in Spain andI have 2 playbooks, a 32 gig and a 64 gig. The 32g updated OTA with no problems. The 64g does not offer me the option to install update niether OTA or via the desktop software.

    When I check for updates I get the “You currently have the latest software installed.” message. I currently have Version 2.0.1.358!

    Any pointers please?

  • John

    Me too and I have 32g and I live in Canada…no updates.
