Sweet. OS2 Must be very close. Look at the version numbers. The simulator has a lower version number. The other stuff are quite similar to what we have now with the beta.
Forget Native mail.... Lazaridis would have announced it yesterday if it was a actually coming.
RIM never discussed what's going to be included in the consumer OS 2.0 version. I'm sure RIM is trying to hit a "Bulls-eye" with the launch of OS 2.0. The OS 2.0 that was revealed in DevCon was shown with a few changes, I expect the consumer 2.0 to be packed with all the features we are missing today.
fine, but cant they do it in a compelling way, both for users and news websites, with a preview and a solid release date?
they got a lot of flack for poor S1 and S2 software, and I respect they fact to do it right, but the way they do it is like shooting yourself in the foot

I reckon they will - and have kept it out of DevCon, which is focused on developers - to actually have a dedicated launch and presentation of the new OS, with all the fanfare.
A few things to add. If you add an account (I added my GMail and Facebook) you actually get system notifications for new messages, unfortunately clicking on them doesn't do anything. So it's built in enough to actually check email for you.
Also, I've been using the 2.0 Dev beta on my Playbook for about 24 hours now, and the browser kind of sucks. I really hope it's something they can easily fix. If you stay in a single tab, everything is fine. Once you open a new tab, and then try to close it, it's basically unusable until you close the browser and reopen it.
The new UI and other things are great, and I can't wait for the full release hopefully soon.
