The Blackberry Playbook launched and it had promise. The biggest issue was that the tablet didn't have a native email application. The second issue was the lack of apps available for the Playbook. This looks like it's now been rectified with Playbook OS 2.0. That's right, you can now use Android applications on the Playbook. A very good move by RIM, that and the fact that you no longer need a Blackberry handheld to get email on the device. A snippet from the press release: "Thousands of new apps are being added to BlackBerry App World™ today (including a range of Android® apps that will run on the BlackBerry PlayBook)."
