Here is another cool feature with the PlayBook OS 2.0 that allows you to remote control your playbook via your BlackBerry device. You will see in this video some features, but you can also control power point presentations and more via your BlackBerry while the PlayBook is connected to a screen with the HDMI.

With the BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.0 software update, and an updated BlackBerry Bridge application for BlackBerry smartphones, the functionality of the two devices will expand to include remote control, Open on PlayBook, and much more. Check out Michael Clewley and Jeff Gadway as they walk through a few of these features at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show.

RIM employees have said a few times in different videos today that PlayBook 2.0 will be available in February, so it does look like this release is still on track for next month.

  1. I’m in outside sales. I’m always looking for a way to keep my gadgets charged. You would think a car charger would do but when I have my playbook, 9900 and my laptop all to babysit everyday it sure makes it tough. The Zaggsparq sure would make my life a whole lot easier! Peace out and may our 2.0 make the playbook the best tablet eva!

    • I suggest drop your car chargers. All of them. Get a 12V to 120V inverter and use the wall chargers shipped with your devices. Note that the ‘generic’ USB chargers will not do a very good job for the PlayBook. The PlayBook needs a powerful charger to charge quickly.

      I also suggest to get yourself a “magnetic” charger. It will fast charge your PB without the possibility of damaging your micro USB port. This is the best investment you can make.

  11. Hi,I was lucky to get PlayBook for my 85th birthday
    .Now I am enjoying. Snooker, Suduko, Racing moto, Slide, etc.Sideload Kindle,(abit disappointed with it, not as good a reader as the reader I purchased from BB.)
    Maybe Skype soon?

  13. I am a new user here so be gentle if i screw up……i want to say how disappointed i am as i purchased the new 4g PB for my wife and especially to have the Kobo reader app, only to find out that the app is useless unless you are connected to wifi……she likes pb for simple computing needs etc but looks like i need to buy a kobo reader…what a pile of crap…..does anyone have a fix???….thanks…Bear

    • once your kobo books are downloaded you do NOT need to be on wi-fi to read them. I read kobo books from my playbook all the time, do WISH that kindle would get there butts in gear and give us a kindle app for the playbook.

  14. Hi, am I alone in having an app that refuses to delete by the regular way?
    Found a way, using sideloading delete button. A bit of a pain but reclaimed some space.
    I hope this helps if anyone has deleting problem.

  15. Was wondering how long it might be before kindle does an app for the playbook, kobo came free with the playbook can’t figure why kindle doesn’t care about losing all those customers.

  16. Yes I know it has been said we can side load and all of that for kindle but really, why should we do that when it is to help buy their books?
