Now that we know what to expect from the BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.0 update that is due to be released in February, CrackBerry wants to know which of these features you are most looking forward to. Is it the native email, contacts, or calendar? Does the BlackBerry remote feature look exciting? Or is there something else you spotted that has you on the edge of your seat waiting? Vote in the poll and let us know in the comments what you think of the upcoming new features!
Forget which feature, how about they just get it rolled out and released, that would be nice...
Autocorrect. You know, like BlackBerry phones have had for a decade.
Why isn't everyone shutting the hell up about the update an option. I'm so looking forward to that.
Still no BBM? Anyone know if there will be DLNA support, so you can watch local streamed video?
Yea I think they should start working on this next. Once they get their BBX phones out I would like to see them working on DLNA as a way to have your BB's interact with many things, like TV's, lights, therosthats, security alarms ect. the QNX kernal is the perfect OS for the smart house of the future.
i just have one question.
Is Tebow now quarterback for this Blackberry team also?
Suddenly I like this teams chances!
btw I voted for them all. Had they "just" added email, contacts and calendar it would have be easy to vote for phone as remote, but they made all these additions very compelling and unique in the market.
Awesome job!!!
I'm excited by the new OS. Also, I'm hoping that it finally has a Twitter App! Hopefully not just the link again!
I'm really excited for Contacts because it is more a people-manager (like Windows Phone) and not just strictly information. I'm really excited for email because that's the one that will be used the most. But I voted for the BlackBerry as remote. I probably won't use it that often. But I've been waiting for the other 2 for months so all the excitement is down for me. This is a new announcement so it still has some power to impress me.
+1 I voted for Contacts.
I hope they will sync ok with my current BlackBerrys
THE VIDEO STORE
I second the video store. I think the email, contacts, and calendar look great but an easy "it just works" movie source is what I miss most right now. BlackBerry Bridge satisfies my requirements for the others for now. I actually kind of enjoy not having email barging in all the time on my Playbook unless I decide to use Bridge.
The keyboard with predictive text and BlackBerry short cuts will be nice too. I can't count how many times I have hit the space bar twice on my PB for a period to end a sentence!
Most of my favorites are more specific than this survey, like opening files from my phone onto my playbook and having tabbed email. I guess that's what happens when RIM releases a lot of features like this.
Was hoping for native MemoPad to sync with BB. Thought that was part of the original plan.
Im excited about it all!!!! Now roll it out already! It looks very polished and ready!
I wish they would add the ability to answer your phone from the tablet. I mean the caller ID is great and all (if the phone is right next to you), but I want to be able to answer the phone in a bluetooth speakerphone mode. For me, it would be more handy than making the phone a bluetooth remote. Not sure if others feel the same though.
Double tapping the space bar...
Honestly, this is what I miss most on my PlayBook.
Nothing really.
Looking forward to not being lied too. Hopefully that was just an os 1.xx bug
They're all great updates, and its cool RIM is letting us see them ahead of time. I just really hope they meet the Feb. timeline.
Good improvements.
Any word on host USB? Will it be able to use a media card reader or back up to a hard-drive?
SMS over the bridge.
No doubt. SMS over the bridge would be awesome.
+1
Seriously? What about BBM and SMS on the playbook?
+1
BBM works on the Playbook already via Bridge.
additional features such as phone calls, messages, via bluetooth. too good
While the three main product additions seem a step in the right direction, I would really appreciate having autocorrect and SMS functionality. Bridging with my 9900 has been fantastic since Day 1, so e-mail, calendar and contacts have never been a problem.
Im going to love it all! RIM kicks ass!! Love my Blackberry's! remote mouse phone option is amazing!
hopefully support os6
I'd personally like to see a dock that has HDMI out, and if it had a full sized SD slot it would just make my day! Seeing these presentations and watching them with the tablet laying down it makes it look so sloppy and unprofessional. Come on, can some manufacturer make it already, it's been like a year since the PlayBook came out and still not one dock has HDMI out yet. Also, how about instant messaging Apps so we can FINALLY use the front facing cam -i.e. OoVoO, Skype, Yahoo Messenger, Live Messenger etc... The perfect dock would have to have Full size SD card support, Full Size HDMI out and like 3 or 4 full size USB ports so that we can connect a keyboard/mouse and possibly even an external hard drive. Yes, I want my PlayBook to be able to do everything just like a computer because I have faith in RIM and I want everyone else to be impressed at what the PlayBook can do compared to the other OS's.
voted for everything because all of it combined is what makes it impressive. native email or contacts alone is not impressive as thats what the pb should have had from the beginning.
having the ability to read usb flash drives would be pretty awesome as well.
I may value native Calendar more than native email on the PlayBook. Hard to believe, but true.
the New UI *sarcasm*
AD2P Bluetooth streaming FTW! Kind of embarrassing that this was left out of 1.0, which is why it's not being promoted as a "new feature."
Yes, I'm with you mavrixx. We need MULTI-PLATFORM VIDEO CHAT apps!!!!
RIM this a great opportunity being missed! Work with Skype!
Idk wtf RIM was thinking not including a native email app. Such a fundamental function of an internet enabled device.
DLNA would be nice. Like Bubbleupnp. I'm not holding my breath
Improved Bridge Tasks application! Wait, that's coming, right? Right?!
Anything that makes this thing more than a toy for my 2 year old would be great.
Be able to minimize apps to system tray.Like Battery Guru or Im+, they are always shutting down.
