    ome people have reported that Playbook OS 2.0.1.326 is showing up for them in Desktop Manager! It isn't showing up for me, but one of our tipsters extracted most the .bars from the Temporary directory and sent it to us!

    Download the 2.0.1.326 .bars OpenSourceBB

    If you just want the Netflix.bar and not the other files, I uploaded it separately here: Netflix.bar - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download

    I'll post later about how the updates work, especially Netflix! Just wanted to throw up a quick blog post to let everyone know and share the download link for people who, like me, don't have an update showing up yet!

    These bars can be sideloaded using any standard sideloading tool. I've loaded the Android App Player and Netflix so far, they work and a ten second look over suggests they're running great!

    Update: it looks like when you sideload the .bars they don't overwrite the existing apps, but rather create new icons which show up at the bottom of your app list like any other sideloaded .bar.

    EDIT:
    I would like some screen-shots, for some reason I feel this is a April Fools joke.

    Totally expected.

    Content providers have probably set some sort of benchmark for them to make their content available for Playbook. Given that there are now over 1 million Playbooks "in the wild", must have triggered Netflix.

    I wonder who else had the same metric ?

    Shame on you op. Preying on such a basic desire.

    It is funny though.

    Some of these jokes just are just stupid, i know its April fools day, but everything has a limit.

    We still need to petition Netflix to support the Blackberry PlayBook,

    Hopefully they will comply with the customer demand of a large market.

    How about making an app that looks like Netflix that runs for a little while before giving you an April Fools message?
