Thought this was the real deal!

Downloading now. Dont think there is a lot of difference but who knows.

Had to do a double take. Thought it was it, but turns out only a dev-only beta. :(

Does it look close to the final deal or does it seem like there is a lot more to fix?

Lol bla1ze.

There ARE dragons ahead.
:)

Well... Might be time for me to jump on board! The last beta seemed like it was pretty stable no? Can't wait to hear what/if-any features are included (new)

Dragons?

someone said predictive text when bridged :)

correct me if I'm wrong but before the real thing comes out shouldn't we anticipate a bridge update? If I'm correct it always came first.

Heart missed a beat then reality sunk in.

So I have confirmed predictive text and more goodies when bridged!

will BB upgrade Flash with the updates?

no video chat
keyboard settings back

Does not need to be bridged for predictions and suggestions to work

Yes it does, using it to type this! Awesome!

In the browser when I do the "select all" I can actually copy or cut it, which is cool.

I enjoy the fact I don't have to double tap the cursor to enter my password on start up.

I love the auto correct, lol, this is excellent so far... Impressed.

Now all my posts won't be in all lower case, with less edits because I was too lazy and spoiled by my blackberry keyboard that I just didn't bother with all that punctuation and whatnot... Now I guess I'm the guy who's been "dumbed down" - lmao!

This is suddenly the best software keyboard in the tablet business!!!!!!!!

Is it video call show up in this update?

Android launcher has improved. Swipe at the bottom opens up a menu and option to hide similar to the browser, with a back button.

Iv never tried these beta releases but im very curious now, what are the limitations in terms of apps to download on this release? do i still have full access to app world and such? Can anyone confirm kobo still works? I have always been interesting in testing the latest but if im really limited than ill avoid this.

Any thoughts?

-- things are broken and there is dragons ahead!

LMAO - Quote of the day/week/month

So this build has the new Keyboard, but not the new email?

Downloading now! :)

Upgraded a Dingled PB that was running .6149 to .7111. Previous jailbreak was blocked by the upgrade.

It has Adobe Air 3.0

The installed Android Apps from the dingled install before the upgrade are still there and the android email and contacts still work. However, the Market option to add an account does not run.

Huluberry has stopped working after the upgrade. After selecting a episode to play, the following message appears:

"Unfortunately HULU is not supported on your platform. We apologize for any inconvenience."

Great, but today my Playbook wall charger stopped working.. RIM is such a piece of garbage company.. =/ Seriously I'm not happy today, not only has the value of my Playbook gone done significantly now the charger is not functioning..

If I still had my iPad 1 It'd still be worth $340.. I better get a replacement charger for free..

The browser is quicker on loading the sites I vist and the bookmark page now caches WAY faster than before, so it scrolls smoothly with a ton of bookmarks and does so even on a return. This area has been bothering me.

Here's hoping that they'll add in page search in the browser and arrow key buttons on the keyboard in a future update.

I am just curious as to why RIM released this update. The public release is only 2-3 weeks away...unless they are planning on announcing another delay?

is it worth downloading? all my apps i have now arent gonna disappear are they? will I have to reinstall and hows the compatibility? im really curious but at the same time i dont wanna have most of my apps broken

Ahh I want to update my for some reason, my pb on the beta stops connecting to my home wifi after a while. Gotta wait until I get to campus and use that wifi haha

Appears to break root! :(

I upgraded and the only thing that seems not to work for me is the e-mail bridge. However, I can live with that because I have the e-mails programmed in the e-mail program from the Android player.

Someone said hulu does not work with this version. It DOES for me. In fact, I just finished watching a Family Guy episode as a test. At the beginning the app took longer to load and log in. I closed it after it finally loaded. The second time I started it, it went smoother and fast.

Everything seems to work fine. No bugs detected so far!

Typing in MemoPad goes very slow... cannot use prediction and suggestions in MemoPad.

Just tried to connect my Sony Bluetooth headphones & YES they work, full control A2DP.....

how long did it take for the download to be puched to your phone

i hope the new update contain Arabic Support, can anyone confirm that?

Big improvement. Well done RIM! Predictive keyboard is very good. Never saw need for native email but really need NATIVE Kindle, Medscape, Skyscape and the ability to play Hulu and Netflix.

I took the plunge and updated. Very slick, love the enhancements to the browser and auto text ability. I'm typing this with it. Sweeeeeet!

the contextual keyboard works on Facebook web app --> need to tap the space bar to enable it.
opening playbook facebook app settings keeped, ,no contextual keyboard :-(
VEVO works better,FMDB is ok,
i had web browser with nba.com opened ( video stream),FMDB (video opened),bridge with my mails opened (2 boxes),NFB (opened),VEVO opened and running... hum Lana Del Rey singing) and 115 Mo RAM left and you know what? the Playbook said : hey i'm ok!.

I am unable to login into crackberry.com from my Playbook now with his new update?

Much improved Adobe Reader. Files load much faster and I don't encounter the lag that existed before when navigating. The browser is faster. What happened to presentations to go? I only see the document and spreadsheet now.

Tried also and correct was unable to log in too (will check if there's a kind of one unique SQL user session on the site (as i'm now typing from my laptop),but yes this's a kind of weird.
By the way :
Sunspider Javascript test done :
- 2420.2 ms +/- 0.4%
BrowserMark done with and error on the page refresh:
- score 48591 (Samsung Galaxy SII scored 35139)

Done these tests as is will check about their signification later,but as some devices are going through these...

the html5test is almost the ability for running html5.
you have browserscope.org also for browsers' comparison

Do You Lose Dingle with this Upgrade, can you just re-ssh to get it back?

Browsing the file structure with Files & Folders...seems to now be a folder called "/radio"...do tell.

why do not they include user feature..It would be nice to let people try it before the final release. running latest..it's nice

This may be a stupid question but is media considered end user apps? So but installing 2.0 I won't be able to access my music,videos and pictures?

For all:

Maybe it's me but I downloaded thing beta 2.0 and was not impressed. First I was disappointed that it didn't work well with Madden 2012 and what really got me was that it was having problems maintaining the BBM bridged windows displayed on my playbook. Also, I'm hoping that when the actual 2.0 hits they don't get rid of the bridged files option like they did in this beta release, which was the last straw for me. What sucked was when I decided to go back to the 1.0.8.blah OS I thought that backing up my playbook before updating would just load it again,WRONG! I had to format it then download the 1.0.8.blah again. Yes, I can load my stuff from the back up but after going through all that I was exhausted from it. What I was expecting for the updated do was simple spell check on the playbook, which you can't on either versions, and the two finger highlight, which I do all the time with my 9900. Anyway if I'm wrong please let me know maybe I missed something, cheers!

is there alternative method to install Arabic keyboard... my idea that the 2.0 will support Android Market, can i install Arabic keyboard from there?

Hi guys i just shot a video on how the Beta version is for those of you that are curious and wondering if you should download it or not
Check out the video :

My predictive/suggestive auto correct is not working at all...It says its on in the settings, but no bueno. Where are some places in the UI that it should work? it doesn't do anything in the browser addy bar or facebook

Wha? I updated my PB and now I can't login to Crackberry!?! What am I missing?

Agh! And now my browser is so........ freaking..................slow! Ugh.

For me the keyboard upgrade is alone worth the install. This is my 2nd 2.0 beta iteration and the system just feels more snappy from virtually every standpoint.

Keep up the good work RIM!

Amazing!!!
First I was affraid about the apps, I have my whole pro life managed with Conqu.... hehehehe.... After the update it works just fine, perfect, everything is back where it was, including my projects and tasks. Very good. I really reccomend.
I'm finally enjoying brigde (I was on the bugged bridge beta version).
The new intuitive keyboard is also wonderfull, not only for the bridge but for all the apps, just noticed a little bug when it comes to accents.... In portuguese... "Abraço" (Hug) or Renião (Metting) doesn't produce the word....
Really great job anyway!! I'm loving my PB / 9900 combo!!! Thanks RIM!!!

i'm already register with my pin few days ago. but i'm still don't get the new update

predictive text doesn't when the word has extended ascii characters. :(.

AndyFong.
Same thing here been trying to register last couple of days but no update.

The folder icon in the right-hand corner of the top bar of Adobe is missing. Anyone else notice this? Not a big deal since the library page is available as an open app. Just different.
