The word coming from BlackBerry World is that PlayBook OS 2.1 will arrive at the beginning of summer. Brad from BerryReporter learning during a BB10 session that a Dev. beta build should be out towards the end of the month for devs to get their applications ready. The public release is schedule for early summer. This new build should bring a few new features:
- Portrait Email, Calendar, and Contacts
- App World Carrier Shelf
- Bridge Texting and WiFi Transport Support
- Android Multi-Tasking
- Camera API and In-app Payments for developers
- Over-the-air activation with Mobile fusion
- Personal Encryption
One of the really awesome features of BlackBerry Bridge is the addition of Bridge texting to this update. BlackBerry Bridge was made fun of by some in the media but the more I use it the more I like the options using the PlayBook to BBM, or controlling your PlayBook with your BlackBerry, can’t do that with most of the other gadgets out there.
