    Will current PlayBook get BB10 as upgrade or do they plan to release BB10 for new playbook 3g. Will the existing PlayBook hardware be good enough for BB10

    Yep can't wait. We should get it before the keyboard BB10 is released too which I'm waiting impatiently for.

    Source? I've only heard that BB10 phones will launch then, not BB10 for the PlayBook.

    Heins himself said BB10 would roll out for Playbooks after the handset launch.

    Right, I don't recall him saying it would be Q1 2013 though.
    We know the PlayBook is getting BB10, I just don't recall ever hearing a when.

    The leaked roadmap showed it.

    I'd say we'll see BlackBerry 10 launched for the PlayBook late Q1 to mid Q2, of course going by calendar year and not RIMs fiscal year.

    Wow just in time for the batteries to start dying in the early adopters pb. Hope they last longer than a couple years.

    BB10 will make its way to the Playbook by late January, 2013. It has been confirmed today by Thor that BB10 phones (both full-screen and QWERTY version) will be released in January. The full screen will be released first, then BB10 will be released for the Playbook and finally the QWERTY version.


    It's Blackberry, or it's not.

    Yes, Heins announced Jan 2013 for BB10 phones (RIM CEO on What Went Wrong and the Future of BlackBerry CIO.com) but did not say the PlayBook will get it at the same time.
    I HOPE it does, but let's not create the illusion of release dates when RIM hasn't announced them

    right, i hope they add some new eye candy though, already bored of 2.0 and want a whole new experience, 2.0 isn't that better than 1.0, so i hope 10 is way better than both. Maybe some native BBM?

    Honestly I think to make up for the BB10 delay (even if it did come to light today that it's not much of a delay), they should get BB10 on the PlayBook VERY SOON after BB10 phones come out. The same day would be really nice. :P
