    The email said developers, perhaps some users will get it too, but I'd suspect not many or we'd have seen the forums exploding now with people saying they got it.

    I've had PB user in my profile since 4/19, plus I'm pretty since some of the RIM moderator's know who I am, and I did not get picked. I doubt any regular users are gonna get picked. Pretty sure this is VERY limited and for developers only, BUT it also looks like it's gonna roll out quickly too. I don't think it's Android yet, this appears to be a flash update to 10.3. BUT you never know. I wouldn't count on Android yet, or the BB app player.

    I find it much more important that the time window is only 1 week.

    so we can expect the update next week to arrive. And obviously it will change a lot 'under the hood'.

    I hope for the best...

    Well we know the update will have flash 10.3 for sure. My guess is that Native e-mail, calendar, etc will also be included too as this is the biggest complaint by people and probably a key thing from getting some people to jump on board. Hopefully they'll spill some info on the earnings call this Thursday on what we can expect soon. They'll have to give some positive news as I think the news on the phone front is going to be disappointing.

    Hmmm, I'm not quite sure that's correct. I figure they would allow one week for developers to test their applications and give feedback, and however long it takes RIM to fix any issues based on feedback. So 1 week + fix time.

    Doubt it the email is dated the 13th then a week to beta test that will be the 20th. Then a week at the least to review the feedback and make changes if needed. So the 27th at the earliest would be my best guess.

    If we get three updates in under two weeks, I'm going to be giddy - and giddy is not a state that I'm in that often.

    That's exactly what I was thinking. A 1 week beta isn't a lot but it would seem like a gold release is imminent.

    Will it really take RIM a week to troubleshoot any issues? I mean, aren't they just a middle man here? Adobe released these version a short while ago.

    I know nothing about it, I'm just curious.
