Why highlight apps? Show off OS 2!

ZINIO! here's hoping it's early feb.

You got apps?! No you got games....that's what PB has...but lacks essential apps....No wonder RIM's heading the wrong direction

I was hoping to see a consumer beta of 2.0 to be released on BlackBerry Beta Zone. Afterall, it is a consumer show. However, last minute surprises really are the best ones! :)

Cut the Rope is great... My 4 year old can't put down my 'Professional Grade Tablet'... :-)

This is just the start, now that big name developers are getting on board the apps will come. Like an Android App? Email the Developers, Tweet the Developers, be proactive!

Very polished video. I like it.

I like the video. About the only "disappointment" I have from CES is no word about the official keyboard/case thing from RIM that was shown on Crackberry sometime ago. I've seen a few tweets from people asking RIM about this and there's never been a response. Hopefully this doesn't mean it's been cancelled.

hmmm... no new bb 10 device to be shown off eh.... its a bit off a let down. I was hoping that they's at least announce 1 or 2 phones that will come out this year.

meh, the phone keyboard looks good to me, probably more reliable as well.

If this is a preview of the type of Marketing and commercials RIM is going after in 2012 .... I say they are on the right track. Is clean, professional, shows off multiple key benefits of the PB and is informative. Lets keep this up for the rest of the year :)

create something very similar once 2.0 releases bug free, and blast it out as often as $100 million per quarter will allow

I think the video was great and I think some of the minor nuances that give me hope that RIM is starting to tell the world what is going on with BlackBerry. Tell that!

Any word on DRM encrypted video to the playbook. I tried to upload my digital copys to my playbook with no success do to the DRM encryption. Can we now see uploading videos as a possible resolution for the upcoming 2.0. Great job at CES to RIM I am really very intrested in what 2.0 has to bring to the table and can't wait till the upload.

in the video when she says lifestyle the was what looked to be a magazine app! anyone have any information on that app?

What happened? For us nothing, we saw only promises again. PB OS 2, QNX presentation, everything only in show. When will we get it for the daily use???

Great video! Would be nice to see that as a commercial on TV for the next couple of weeks, then perhaps some new ones.

Loving 7.1 and I can't wait to get my grubby mitts on OS 2!

I like the video, but if they really want to impress us all, they should be really bold and release final os2 ahead of schedule. There is too much negative publicity about things being 'late'. They should learn to lie to us once in a while and beat the release date instead of a lot of let-downs. For us still on OS1, that would be sweet, and I think possibly attract some positive attention.

I'm not saying to release it 'early' (before major kinks are worked out), but 'ahead of schedule'.

is it just me or i think i saw microsoft word?

i really dont get why they dont wanna use the droid word when the guy ask her in the commercial...(what about apps?) i dont know what make them think the droid word defining as more apps would harm rim! instead would really get them more costumer, knowing they can have blackberry security and best email, and a bigger app selection whit android on blackberry. i dont know what its the mystery of hide that from new costumer.. only old costumers like us would know playbook support android, so how would that help if they been hidin like a big taboo the android player at CES 2012. i guess they have have done all this to make more money a get costumers as posible, but i really dont see it happen hidin such a popular thing like android

they really need to bring something so we can use this font camera!! because without skype this suck. i been having my playbook 6 months and i still have not video chat with this crapy video chat app, they need to eather bring skype or gave us more options to ad people on the video chat or video call. there is a lots of us having parents on other countriesl we really need to use the front camera on our playbook

I found myself asking why didn't RIM highlight those new 2.0 features that make the device so much different/better than the iOS and Android devices. Were those games really that important to the market? Maybe so.

In any case, I look forward to the release of 2.0. However, from what I can glean from the latest out of CES, the 2.0 has made some serious detours off the path of what we all were expecting; and that's not a bad thing mind you. Some of these new features are unique, unexpected, and quite beneficial to RIMs original business market. I hope this reflects a return back to developing a true business tool versus a entertainment toy.

On another note, I am very happy to say that I have earned enough money from RIMM stock in the past two weeks to not give a crap what I paid for my Playbook. Keep going up RIMM!!!

With all due respect to the cheerleading squad, I think your attempts to cover the holes in the boat with wire mesh aren't going to keep it afloat. IMHO, RIM needs more radical changes than it's showing right now. Wait 'til February? For what? A new OS for merchandise that has seriously undersold, and failed to meet expectations? I love my Blackberry. But, I also loved my pager and my Palm Pilot.

@mattyc47, you are asking me what its my video chat problem??... simple, nobody have a playbook, and if people i know does not have a playbook i can not video chat whit them!! did you forgot bb will have video chat on phones by the mayans end of the world, just then i could video chat whit a bb contact!
