It's kind of casually referred to, but these guys actually ARE at DevCon and likely a reliable source.

BlackBerry PlayBook 2.0 OS - video walkthrough and remove control features; OS will be arriving in two week, confirms RIM | ITProPortal.com

At least that puts it as sooner than "the end of the month"... Still likely Feb 21, I think.

I REALLY dig all that remote stuff. Aside from being genuinely useful, I can totally see people going "ooooo" when I show it off to them.

At least now we have a rough date. The internal release date has apparently been sort-of confirmed by multiple sources as the 17th for a while. As many have pointed out, that's a Friday, and an unlikely day for the public release of new software as it could conceivably tie up support staff all weekend. The following Monday (the 20th) is a holiday in Ontario, so it would seem that Tuesday, the 21st, is gonna be it!
