The long awaited update to the Blackberry Playbook hit the streets today. Here’s what the updates give Playbook users:
- Native email, contacts and calendar functionality.
- RIM’s Android app player is finally on board
- Video chat has been enhanced
- BlackBerry Bridge has been updated
- Social networking such as Facebook and Twitter have been added
You can see the full list of updates here. From Playbook users I’ve spoken to, it’s a welcome update. The question is, is it too little too late? After all, the iPad outsells the Playbook something like 100 to 1 and if you believe the rumors, the iPad 3 is about to ship on March 7th. That will make it even more difficult for RIM to compete.
We’ll see what happens. I suspect it won’t take long to find out which way this goes.
