Research in Motion (RIM) has left customers disappointed with its latest announcement that the software upgrade for its Playbook tablet has been delayed till February next year. Evene worse, the tablet will most probably ship without the Blackberry messenger (BBM) software which means users will have to continue to use Blackbery Bridge messaging service.
According to a blog post by David J. Smith, SVP for BlackBerry PlayBook, “As much as we’d love to have it in your hands today, we’ve made the difficult decision to wait to launch BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.0 until we are confident we have fully met the expectations of our developers, enterprise customers and end-users”.
RIM had already launched the beta version of its BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.0, as well as the final version of the native SDK for the tablet last week at BlackBerry DevCon Americas, which allows developers to begin porting their native apps to the Blackberry platform. The company also announced that it “will also be starting a series of closed betas of BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.0 with select enterprise customers from our Early Adopter Program (EAP)” to bring a range of capabilities to their tablets.
Let’s see if Blackberry can stay true to its words this time around and deliver the PlayBook OS 2.0 update in February 2012.
