RIM delays the release of the second BlackBerry Playbook OS version to February as it does like the tortoise-- working slowly yet (hopefully?) steadily.
The news comes from a blog post from Playbook senior VP David Smith, who says the OS update will include "advanced integrated e-mail, calendar and contact apps, a new video store, as well as new functionality that will allow your BlackBerry smartphone and BlackBerry PlayBook to work together even better," the blog post says.
One promised feature sees the chopping block though-- the Playbook BBM app, meaning Playbook users will have to continue using BlackBerry Bridge to use the Blackberry messenger service on a Blackberry tablet.
A Playbook OS 2.0 beta is already available for developers taking part in RIM's Early Adpoter Program. Meanwhile, Playbook users will keep on waiting for the fabled email client promised within 60 days of launch... back in April.
