But if this is what is going to save the playbook I just can't believe they didn't use the chance to brag about it

we're gonna do that part

Have to agree - a pre-release announcement would have made the tech news. Surely that would have been a Good Thing.

Maybe it's because there really isn't that much in OS 2.0 that's worth the hype. It doesn't seem that much better than the original OS - For me the only things that are added are spell check, file manager, print to go app and some cosmetic changes as I don't need native email, contacts, etc because I have a BB phone. Hopefully I'm wrong and there are things in it that I haven't been able to find yet because if there isn't anything else this OS I would say that it is a fail given the fact it took them almost a year to get this out.

It's a software update to a product that's still in transition to what RIM really wants to promote. BlackBerry 10 is the end goal. That's where the platform is migrating to. PlayBook OS 2 is a big step on the way to getting there.

Plus in the meantime RIM needs to keep selling BlackBerry 7 Smartphones - that's still the primary revenue driver. So I think there's a fine balance here. RIM will push PlayBook OS 2, and I'm sure it'll get reviewed by a good chunk of tech media, etc., but I think RIM is still mainly selling off hardware they built a year ago vs. ramping this up as a new device. Remember, there's no new hardware here and a lot of the features are playing catch up still (things that just were not ready during the migration process for PlayBook OS 1).

I think strategically RIM is playing this pretty smart. It is a big deal, but not *that* big of a deal. But definitely is going to start winning back some love.
