So they take it out, realise how dumb that was, and put it back again - presumably hoping nobody noticed (except I guess the really early downloaders).

Actually there are valid reasons behind it as stated by others earlier.

Just updated to .3894 and all works well
My bridge apps have always worked with this update and the first OS2 release with no work around or any troubles at all

[chrism_scotland]

Hmm I'm half wondering if I should give this new 2.0 a go and see how I get on, could do with a couple of the Android Apps thats I managed to get installed.

These aren't "developer" betas. If they were they wouldn't be so easy to get. They want us all to test this, They just can't admit they would push unstable crap out to regular users so they are calling it "developer" beta

The 1.0.6 beta worked the same way --- white listing with your bbid/email address and it was pushed to the white listed Playbooks.

Only now --- RIM got rid of their much maligned developer registration requirements (and the need of getting things notarized). You can now download all the developer tools without registration --- so RIM doesn't know who the developers are anymore. Therefore in order to download the developer beta, you just have to tell them your bbid/email address.

So it has nothing to do RIM pushing out unstable crap via "easy" software push.

Wi-Fi� profiles are now saved and no longer disappear during tablet reboots

My 2.0.0.3778 didn't lose wifi profiles after a re-boot...?

I was thinking perhaps it just didn't save new ones? Im not sure though.

That said, I am not getting this update pushed and DM wont recognize my PB, as of today. Wondering if something went wrong after registering for this update on their end, between them and my device.

Edit: NVM. I used the link in Post #2 to register, but that is for HTML5. When I registered for the first OS2 beta, I registered for Android Apps. As soon as I tried the Android page, the update showed. Weird.

Could be... I haven't added any new profiles since the update...

Sure there are. That's why RIM quietly reversed that decision a short time later.

Left hand..., meet right hand.

my app world is working after update

Yes. That's because RIM changed their minds and put App World back into the OS2 Dev build shortly after announcing they'd removed it (which has confused everyone as to whether it's in, out, or shaking it all about!).

Maybe that's a good sign... it shows that RIM can sometimes listen to feedback.

Strange ... I don't think they did remove/put it back (just bet the time to recompile and deploy) ...

Updated: RIM Deletes Mention of Removing App World From PlayBook OS 2.0 Developer Beta - BerryReview

^---- this.

Cached web page shows RIM announcement that App World removed from OS2, which has then been quietly updated to remove that removal announcement.

Voila! - as they (don't) say in my part of the UK!

Whether any actual OS2 build escaped into the wild that didn't contain App World, I don't know, but that was certainly RIM's original intention.

[shupor]

Don't download, it doesn't have App World.

I haven't personally tried it but from previous reports, it said app world is missing.

It works afterall

[KermEd]

With one hand they giveth and the other they take away.

Do you need any more proof that RIM are completely out of touch with their user base? No doubt they had a huge number of downloads of 2.0 and for some reason think that its bad that end users are eager to get updated software so now they intentionally cripple the update.

Lets not mention that any dev now wanting to keep using 2.0 to develop the NDK now has to have their device crippled but hey devs would never use their tablet like ordinary people.

You should't believe everything you read AppWorld was included, a blug made a typo based on an errant assumption and everyone jumped on it...

Edit: One of the thigns I love about mob mentality. And not just you, tons of people and blogs started posting it. Too bad people never double check their sources

Dude, the blogger at BerryReview and effed up by making assumptions. For example your assuming it was intended to be missing to begin with - which it was not.

[KermEd]

LOL... no, really, LOL, LOLOLOLOLOL.

You couldn't make this disorganisation up!

Sigh: It was missing from a list of features, not missing from the actual build.

[antonissen]

For one direct link
Register your Playbook

i need to want where skype too long for upgrade 2.0 thank Louis

[KermEd]

Does RIM actually think through any of the decisions it makes. Just unbelievable...

Glad to know you checked first before trusting some random blogger

Seems the address bar in the browser doesn't lock anymore. It minimizes(?) when you click away.

Try this link: https://bdsc.webapps.blackberry.com/...et20/register/

I tried the link in Post #2 multiple times, but no luck. This is the Android App registration, which i initially registered for with the last beta. The link in Post #2 is for WebWorks registration.

Maybe it was a coincidence, but right after I registered there and checked for updates on the PB, it was there.

Glad it worked. That is so weird it matters what development site you register from.
