BlackBerry OS 10 on a first gen Playbook?
Hi everyone
As someone who currently looks into making the switch (well. Not exactly a complete switch. I'll probably still use WebOS as a secondary OS and for my smartphone) from WebOS to Blackberry OS 10, I'm very much interested in whether Blackberry OS 10 will be fully compatible with the Playbook.
I know RIM has already pointed out the Playbook's compatibility with Blackberry OS 10. However, I couldn't quite figure out whether they were referring to the "2nd generation" 1.5GHz Playbook or the Playbook platform as a whole.
Are there any specifics yet?

Can't wait to buy a 64GB Playbook now. Might be a total overkill, in terms of flash memory (in all probability, I won't install many 3rd party apps and only use it as a development tool for my own apps), but it's the only one currently on sale in a store near me.
Right now the issue that's really affecting performance for QNX on a PlayBook is just the amount of RAM on it. It was said that 2 GB is needed for truly efficient use on a device. Of course, having more on-board memory doesn't hurt at all :)

You mean pessimistic?

If Blackberry can somehow make it less resource intensive for the Playbook to run BB10, I'm sure it will be good. But it still remains to be seen.

This is my thinking as well. And really to keep the OS running smoothly I think this is the right approach.

The PLAYBOOK getting active frames would be a step back. I like how my apps launch and stay running how they are now. I like being able to swipe left and right between apps. It makes no sense to put active frames on the PLAYBOOK.
Whatever they do it will be an improvement. Getting rid of this browser and keyboard along with getting BlackBerry10 apps will be a huge leap forward for PLAYBOOK.
There is no need for the peek hub etc. That is good for a phone...not so much for a tablet.
