I just got update for my playbook 2.1.0.1526 132Mb is size!
Any obvious changes?
Likely just BlackBerryWorld branding. Bug fixes.

Account and browser changes too. Bb development tweeted earlier today
Sweet, BBM!!!
132 MBs - small update....might help with bridge on bb10 but got no clue
LOL, kidding, yet to download. Sure hope so! #wishfullthinking
Yeah, it's showing on my PB. I'm not biting till I get a full report as to the changes. Guinea pigs, update and report back on your findings.
Must be changing a lot of system files though. It has been installing for more than 10 minutes now

I'm actually updating my PlayBook right now as well but I decided to look up information about this update the second I saw a notification pop up on screen in BlackBerry Desktop software with my PlayBook connected to my laptop. The update process seems to smooth and quick for me so far.
OS Version 2.1.0.1314 > 2.1.0.1526
Build ID 394445 > 428550

I guessing that now that BlackBerry App World is now called BlackBerry World on PlayBook, we'll be able to access movies, music, and TV shows all from BlackBerry World just as if we were using a BlackBerry 10 device like the Z10. That would be pretty amazing.
Blackberry still working on OS 2.1 :(, I think it would be better to focus on BB10 update for PB
I wish! How sweet would that be!
Hmmm, does javascript load any faster?
Can we sort/edit bookmarks yet?
Same size for me here.
I'll settle for better JavaScript. We can sort bookmarks already, it's just manual. :p
I was wrong. Unfortunately for us PlayBook owners, BlackBerry App World just simply got re-branded to BlackBerry World. So, we'll have to wait till the PlayBook gets updated to BlackBerry 10 before we'll be able to access movies, TV shows, music and apps all from BlackBerry World.
Still though, 133MB is still a lot of size. I'm sure these are not only features added. I mean renaming the blackberry app world shouldn't take that much space. Neither should audio boost
As I wrote in another thread - will NOT download till I know Rim (or bb) did not remove BRIDGE Email, memo, calendar..............
So... does this mean they fixed the Google CalDav issues that were preventing calendar sync?Improvements to Gmail� and Yahoo!� account setup services
One of the things that has always impressed me about the pb is the volume level when listening through headphones. Being old and decrepit, please please tell me that this doesn't mean another 'we are controlling your volume level for your own good' European rules that mean I need an audio booster?
Still nothing for bridge when linked to Z10. Guess we might have to wait until BB10 release for PB
downloaded it.... noticed no difference....any changes?
Well this is baffling. Right when BB10 rolled out, my PlayBook's WEP connectivity issues just magically cleared up even though BB10 has nothing to do with the PB. It's worked fine ever since, and that includes this morning.
Now? Broken again even though I've not ran the update and am still 2.1.0.134
I have no idea what it's doing.
