BlackBerry PlayBook 2.0 promo video shows off new features

The latest promo video for the BlackBerry PlayBook has turned up in the CrackBerry forums and packs a load of features into just under 3 minutes. While it's more of a promo than and actual commercial (similar to the original PlayBook promo) it's a well done spot that shows off all of the new features in the BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.0 software. It puts the PlayBook into the hands of people during their daily routines and shows off how to use the tablet in various different ways.

It's definitely one of my favorites so far and would have made for an awesome teaser before the actual launch of OS 2.0. The video itself shows off the features of the PlayBook including native Messages, Calendar and Contacts, video chat, "open on", presenter mode, camera, browser and more. What's cool here is that unlike some of the other commercials from RIM that I harp on, this one actually does an awesome job of showing just what the PlayBook can do in both business and casual environments. We've seen plenty of ads that really just show one or two features of a device or don't dive too much into them at all, and that really does work to sell the device at all. This promo is not centered around just a few features, but rather packs them all in and does it well. Hopefully we'll see plenty more like this for new devices down the road. Check out the full promo above and let us know what you think in the comments.
