Looking good! Can't wait for the update!

Seems cool. I wish there was a jaw dropping app or feature in 2.0, but if such a thing doesn't show up until BB10 then OK.

I think for BB10 phones to be the hit we want them to be, we need a "wow can't get that on my iPhone" moment.

Many people in the US think RIM/BB is dead or about to go bankrupt. I believe they would switch back if they thought there was something cool that would make others switch too, but if they don't feel that "wow", BB10 will likely just retain the loyal users.

Translation: RIM needs something exciting, right now it seems like they are working towards "solid" rather than "exciting."

Not jaw dropping, but what is? Its a cool update feature that will be useful for us persons.
Americans are a finiky bunch, they have been known for rooting for the underdog, but they will drop everything to line up behind the winner. Not all Americans, thats just an unfair unrationalized generalization, but true for the most part. When RIM picks it up again, offers a few useless perks to level the playing field, many Americans will flock back, particularly those who abandoned BB for Android/iOS toys recently.

have we heard an exact date for the release of 2.0??

matty p

when i hear the word flow.. i think of a womans period... not a good name for a smart phone.. lol

just putting that out there...

Mathew, That comment is NASTY. Man, the more I hear about 2.0, the more I get excited. I have the 64g and I bought my son a 32g. My son wanted the Ipea and I told him no. He loves his playbook and so do I.

I need this update NOW because people look at me like I am a looser every time I try to convince someone to get a Playbook : /

I like the BlackBerry "Flow" experience. Now lets get out the Os and market the heck out of it!!

Flow is the name of a weaksauce radio station in Toronto so it's tainted for me.

Let's hope all BB10 phones are more cutting edge than 93.5 fm.

i can feel the awesome-ness of os 2.0 now!!!

So, any dates yet on when playbook 2.0 is coming out. I'm getting antsy waiting for it

I'm not sure we need a WOW factor.
This feature is USEFUL! and that's exactly what Blackberry is supposed to be.

I think the thing BB10 will have exclusive compared to others is all the companies they acquired mainly TAT..TAT created apps are gonna be big

but more interesting that what the Inbox can contain, How is the integration in the OS?

I expect it to be very easy from anywhere - to forward "things" to other systems... So when I read an article on the Internet, or twitter or facebook - that I can use the OS menus to forward a link/copy of the message/web to the other services - or send to e-mail.. For this to be good - it must be implemented in the OS - so the feature is available using the same menus in any app.

We have also heard that the native addressbook/contacts should be powered by Gist, something that could be very cool IF it is implemented as an OS integration.

What went terribly wrong with OS1, was the completely lack of consistent GUI's. All apps using different menus etc... Still we have this mess going on in BBOS, where menu-items change positions all the time... somtimes "Copy" is on the top, other times at bottom of list, other times in the middle etc... OS2 MUST have this sorted out.

i cant wait to get 2.0. and a question to everyone reading and kevin from crackberry today i was reading a book and though of a cool app that bb can develope since a lot fo people do still have hard or soft covered books that may not be free in kindle or even kobo books making an app that you can scan a bar code and have it looked up on pb or bb phone and have it be downloaded for free instead of having to pay for it 2 if you only want books on the phone or pb.

A nice little update shown. Let's hope OS2.0 comes out soon.

Bold 9900
Playbook 1.0

Sweet, can't wait because I hate when I get a facebook message and I check it on my playbook and my Bold 9700 LED keeps flashing so i have to check it on there too. I Love the Unified inbox experience, it makes it so simple and much nicer.
Also for everyone looking for the WOW factor needs to just relax a bit. I don't think facebook integration is a WOW thing it's just useful and nice to have.
Don't forget that Playbook 2.0 is only the beginning of change and that much more is still to come. Android got a slow start with it's first version and it grew quickly so have a bit of faith that RIM still has some WOW in them!

I switched from a blackberry to an iPhone not because it was cutting edge or had that huge wow for me but plain and simple because it worked when I needed it to and worked smoothly and well. For me as long as BB10 gets this part right, good OS which I know it will be and it is smooth to use and works well and when you need it to I will be getting one.. This is great to see things that are simple but no one else is integrating social networking and email into 1 app so good for blackberry! If it works seemlessly it will get people's attention and maybe they will realize that blackberry is making devices that are actually nicer to use than thier iPhones an androids and allows them to get around the os in less time and causes less hastle!

Does anyone know if the new unified messaging environment will also deal with Bridge Messages? IE can I use the new (and very nice) email app for my BB messages while I am linked to it? Maybe the emails will only be present while linked etc...?

Hey Kevin, what do you meanthe more I use it the more I love it? You holding out on us? :P

If you think back it's like the social feeds on BB OS right now but with the QNX touch.

So with messages thats all that is connected with your social networking right? for example if I have a twitter account.. I won't be able to see all the tweets right? Only when I get mentioned or a private message?

Hey!! I need my royalties for "Flow"
I believe I suggested it in possible names for the upcomming BB10 phone here on crackberry.
Now where is that link...

only missing texts, I wanna be able to read my texts on my playbook!!!!!!

this messaging app looks so cool. i can't wait to finally use it!
