Exclusive: BlackBerry PlayBook OS 3.0 Apparently Being Developed Already

Just did some search and found this,
"One of our sources let us in on a little secret. Actually, it is a fairly ‘top’ secret. RIM has apparently already started working on PlayBook OS 3.0"


This sounds really awesome and I'm pretty sure OS 2.0 is fully loaded and ready to be shipped soon!

Article: It's at N4BB. Quit posting links to other sites for nonsense.

What ya think?

The article states BBM will be absent from 2.0. I thought BBM was one of the upgrades that is part of OS2?

Nope. This time it will have a native BBM, not the one accessible through Bridge.

Good to hear that they are working on os3.
It means that they are following through with there commitment to finalize a design so they can get it out the door without delay.

[ezrunner]

Makes sense that they have already started

So will BBM via bridge become non existant? Only native with 2.0? I wouldn't think RIM would add native BBM and take away bridged BBM...Maybe I'm confused...Sorry

I 'Checked For Updates' just in case, its not out.

Native BBM will not be in the initial release of OS 2.0

[ericlc2]

If native bbm did come with 2.0 it would probably be half baked like the bbm via bridge that we have had for nearly a year already.....

[snuci]

Wouldn't "OS 3.0" be "OS 10" for Playbook and be called that so that the OS is in sync with the phone?

[Deathcommand]

They need to get to OS 10 by the end of the year so it makes sense. :P

I heard that the tentative release date for os 3 is Feb 7/03.
