We posted a few videos of PlayBook OS 2.0 from CES but a friend pointed out that they were not the best quality. That is why I was happy to see The Verge do a really nice wrap up video with Jeff Gadway showing off the new PlayBook OS 2.0 features. I am loving the rich text editor for email along with the combined contact cards. I am really impressed with what RIM has done so far. I am also digging the idea of using the PlayBook as a media center using my BlackBerry as a mouse. Anybody else seeing the potential there?
Check it out for yourself below and let us know if you spot more videos!

Hi @Varun,
Ty from RIM here. Sounds like you’re excited as I am about PlayBook 2.0! From new apps and content, including support for the Android App Player, to improved messaging and more powerful pairing with a BlackBerry smartphone, there’s a lot to be excited about.
To get a better idea of what PlayBook 2.0 will feature, check out a couple of videos we posted yesterday on our Inside BlackBerry Blog. The first video highlights the latest version of BlackBerry Bridge (http://bbry.lv/z1IsJk), and the second shows off the enhanced communications experience 2.0 will bring (http://bbry.lv/A42wAO).
Cheers,
Ty, RIM Social Media Team

Thanks for the info, TY! I have checked out all the videos of 2.0 update! looks great with glimpse of TAT UI…with this update, I think Playbook will be one of the best 7’inch tablets available in the market.
I hate the RIM bashing that goes on ‘some’ media outlets.
Anyways, Good Luck with BB10!
