BlackBerry PlayBook OS confirmed for February 21st

Earlier this week we heard reports about the PlayBook OS 2.0 update arriving on February 21^st, and it looks like the rumor has turned out to be accurate. According to reports online, in a webcast about “Developing native games with the BlackBerry NDK 2.0”, RIM confirmed the release date of PlayBook OS 2.0. Well, assuming that everything goes well and there aren’t any problems with the rollout, we should see PlayBook OS 2.0 by next Tuesday. For those of you planning to pick up the BlackBerry PlayBook just because of the upcoming update, you should start shopping around for one by now.

PlayBook OS 2.0 is said to bring features such as native calendar, email, and contacts apps, support for Android apps, and the usual host of fixes and tweaks to the operating system. Who is excited about the upcoming update?
