Can't wait anymore!

OMG!! :D

When is the actual Playbook 2 coming out???

Man, I'm dying to get it. My PB is already sweet OS 2.0 can only make it better.

not even funny those tricks they pull on consumers should be illegal. they shouldnt be allowed of saying stuff like that if its not true. i bet they posted the same poster back in october. attracting consumer on suposition and rumors.

Arrghhhhhhhhhhhh! I keep hearing 2/21 but I can't hardly wait. I really want to get my hands on that Open On Playbook and that use your handheld as a mouse and keyboard for your Playbook option. So many apps will be better is you can get that mouse/cursor thing going, particularly those remote desktop options.

Just give us a date already!!!

couple of things. 1. Pricing $299 for 16GB and 2. Name Playbook OS2.0. Does this mean newly manufactured PB with pre-loaded 2.0 on it ?

Hmm, glad I got mine before the price increase O_o

About time! Well, eventually...

Again does this mean NEW Playbooks in new box with OS2 pre-loaded and perhaps better specs ?

Omg I just got a bridge update!!! Omg I so didn't just get a bridge update!!!!

what a joke ... that link www.bestbuy.ca/playbookos2 doesn't even work

I am in two minds about announcing a date, although its nice for us to know, it also sets them up for failure if they dont deliver by that date.

If you can avoid adding unnecessary pressure to an already volatile situation, why not do it.

got my 32GB for $145, yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup!

They better get it out soon so that tech writers have a chance to review it. In a few weeks, it will be iPad 3 coverage all the time, on every tech site.

I can't wait to see what the OS2 release does to the shares. I bought a few more today as Global TV ran a little spot about the release of BB10 (after they did a piece on Samsungs new 5 incher released today - Galaxy Note)
And now we're seeing PB market share cutting into iPad, we have this article, a similiar article about BB10.

2012 is shaping up to be a good year for us BB addicts!!

Staples also has an in store advert and instructions on the use of the new OS2 coming soon

My company went from Blackberry to Iphone in December and now I woun't be able to use the all of the features of the Playbook because I won't have the bridge feature. Right now I am using it to surf the web et home where I have WIFI and to read books on KOBO.

Is there a market to sell used Playbooks if people can get it cheap on line?

Does anyone have a sense if apps and software development will ramp up after 2.0? Or will the majority of playbook owners have to rely on existing apps available via android platforms?

Don't know if Thurston has leveraged the new OS with developers or if RIM has convinced developers to jump on the 2.0 wagon..

sooooo dumb.. I coulda told you that OS 2.0 was coming out soon..

A Best Buy rep told me the PB is being discontinued and now this?!?!? I hate Best Buy... not one rep that I have ever spoke to knew what they were talking about. RIM should find a more reputable company...

so is $299 the new price?

Making a mistake on pricing unless the specs have changed. But that's rim.

In addition to my previous comment, Staples said a new playbook is coming out. I said don't you mean a new operating system? They said no, new hardware, possibly bigger. I commented that would be a mistake as it's 7" tablet is more portable and one of it's selling points. So maybe RIM has another Playbook on the back burner.

Seriously this is getting kind of ridiculous. I think the teasing aspect is getting old for this.

yahooo. price should be up now since its finally complete.

Hoping for the original rumour date of this Friday. I'm gone for a week starting Saturday to rural areas with sketchier Internet so I really want to have it installed before I leave.

WTF!? if they're gonna post a link in a flyer atleast make sure it works...

edit: whoops, guess someone already noticed this

we will get all of our answers soon, i hope.

399 for a 32GB? Hah! I just bought a 64GB last night for 299! I assume this just has the 2.0 update and doesn't have new hardware though..

HOLY COW ! Give us a date already. MAN are they milking this thing!

PS I am not a farmboy.

i don't think the 16gb 299$ is a hot price anymore :)

No official Date = No Hope

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They keep pushing this. Early Feb they said it'll be released February 17th!!!!!!!!!!

If it isn't out by Friday I'm getting rid of this POS!!!! RIM deserves to go down a burn if they can't even hit a fuckin deadline!!! WOW!! And I'm a huge RIM fan btw. Or will be till Friday anyways.

They should continue with the price cuts to gain market share. Once everyone is onboard it will be easier to upsell them on both the new phones and the new playbooks.

v2.0 released 28th of feb across N.A. and Europe.

Lol, how do we even know that this is a recent pic? hasn't OS 2 been coming soon for some time now? Like since Aprl 2011.
I went into best buy the other day, was going to update to a 64G Playbook from my 16G. OS2 looks nice...errr looked nice I should say. I tried a Toshiba Thrive, it was on sale, and I got it instead. I'm not hating, I've been loyal to RIM, bought my pb release day. OS2 doesn't compare to the big 2. Seriously, it doesn't. It brings email and contacts to your tablet. I hope that they have more up their sleeve for 2.0, otherwise, the PB will be just be a 200 dollar tablet. Docs to Go is a joke compared to what the Thrive out of the box. Print to Go is a waste of time, unless there is some hidden feature that I don't understand on it. I mean, I can open files on my Playbook outside of the app that I normally could open them in?
The Android apps that are being ported over are not good apps.

I use to think that Appworld was going to explode with new apps once 2.0 came out, but then I thought about it. RIM has been around longer than Apple and Google in the cell phone company, and yet they have less quality apps than either. I don't think that is going to change.

I hope I am wrong, I really do. I makes me sad to see that my Playbook, my business tablet, is now used as a Dora the Explorer player for my 2 year old, and that my Otterbox is almost worth as much as my PB.

I really hope I am wrong.

the anticipation is killing me. i can't wait. hopefully os 2.0 will be released this week. then our playbooks will be that much better. oh by the way i love all the new blackberry commercials!

Waiting almost a year for OS 2.0 - I really hope it doesn't disappoint. My $499 16GB Playbook bought on day 1 deserves the full package finally.

Uh, this story isn't news you know. Unless you're a PB owner who lives under a rock where there is no wifi and you aren't connected to a BB.

it comes out on february 31st...lol

I for one am tired of all the d--k teasing, RIM is flaunting 2.0. like a "hooker in a mini skirt". It's time to put up or shut up. What other company could make people wait a YEAR for a product and still be in business? Oh wait? maybe that's why they are on the bubble! And here comes the Boy Wonder (Blunder) and he follows the same game plan as his predecessors. GREAT MOVE!!!!!!!!

Too little...too late!!!! RIP RIM

It will be coming out Febuary 21st I spoke to a blackberry rep today I work at an electronic store.

soon, as in 60 days within launch? Lol its about 60 days short of a year within launch.

Feb 21st!!! .. Playbook 2.0!

What a flop this has been...
...and still no OS2

Dutch websites reporting the OS 2 is coming on 21 of february.

In Canada, BELL Mobility and Telus usually release their BlackBerry/PlayBook updates FIRST.

Adam - Have you heard anything? I hope BGR doesn't get an 'Exclusive' on this. Just sayin'.

- CB

lets see ......

- no idea when products are being released

- no marketing build up prior to release

but remember......... lets Rock and Roll This!!

So much has changed at RIM hasn't it?

BlackBerry News,
BlackBerry PlayBook

We have been waiting to hear an official date for OS 2.0 a really long time from BlackBerry or a RIM employee. Ever since the first whispers of a date were published, it's all been speculation. Today though we got some official RIM confirmation. At the Developing Native Games with the BlackBerry NDK 2.0 Webcast today, Angel Aldana, RIM Manager (Latin America Alliances), confirmed the official date of PlayBook's OS 2.0 launch to be... Tuesday, February 21st! Barring any setbacks, we will have a shiny new OS on our PlayBooks in about 5 days! This is awesome.

Does anyone know if the new OS will make the playbook compatible with adobe digital editions, making the device able to download public library books?
