Thought this was important to us Playbooker's so I posted it.

[kbz1960]

Well thanks but rumor is RIM pulled .668

[kbz1960]

Funny I don't find anything on this searching.

[pick1eberry]

Well thanks but rumor is RIM pulled .668

It wasn't pulled. I installed it yesterday.

[stackberry369]

.668 here.

[Spencerdl]

Thanks for the heads up OP, but can you disclose your information source, or is this something that was detected during the last secret agent meeting

[kbz1960]

Well why are people reporting they called RIM and we're told it been pulled? Are they all trolls along with everyone reporting it isn't showing for them?

I get the Secunia security advisories by email (and shoe phone). This one was dated yesterday August 3rd.

I can only speak for myself and others who have posted that they have .668 installed.

[kbz1960]

Well I have it also but that was 2 days ago.

Where can I get one of those "shoe phones" from, just in case .....Thanks for the heads up

[kbz1960]

Bla1ze do you know anything about .668 being pulled?

Talk to Carlson at Control.

[Bla1ze]

Bla1ze do you know anything about .668 being pulled?

In particular, no but it does appear to be the case. I can't even get it on any of my PlayBook's any more.

[kbz1960]

Thanks for replying bla1ze.

[SCrid2000]

That explains why I can't get the update then. By any chance does anyone have a copy of it that they backed up with DM?

[BBPandy]

For those who are unable to get the update, don't worry.

On the BlackBerry PlayBook, the BlackBerry Tablet OS is designed to restrict an application's access to system resources and the private data of other applications, which limits the risk and exposure to customers. There are no known attacks against BlackBerry PlayBook tablet users at this time. BlackBerry PlayBook tablet users who have updated the BlackBerry Tablet OS to version 2.0.1.668 or later are protected from these vulnerabilities.

Rim will be releasing it really soon. But if you walk, "just around the corner....."

I heard that the shoe phones have now been delayed due to hardware. They want to make the shoe phones out of new super smooth baby T-Rex leather, but have to wait for the T-Rex to hatch.....Should be ready by the end of the year

I get this feeling that a cloned t-rex will beat BB10 to market. And then eat the pb for lunch.
