BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.0: Calendar, contacts and email hands-on photos and video

RIM announce a major upgrade to the BlackBerry Playbook, with the launch of OS 2.0 this week. Along with Android app compatibility, the ability to use your BlackBerry as a remote control; calendar, contacts and email have been dramatically changed. With improved usability and better integration with each other and social networking websites.

RIM has been demoing the changes at CES, and we’ve got some hands-on pictures and video.

One thing is for sure. The PlayBook is looking more and more enticing. Ok, the price in the UK has just gone up, but we still think £250 for 16GB is great value for a table that seems to be getting better.

We’re expecting the PlayBook OS 2.0 update to arrive in February, although there’s no news yet on the exact date.
