[BlackBerry PlayBook review][4]
[RIM shows off new features for PlayBook 2.0 at DevCon][5]
[ BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.0 now ready for download][6]
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the world of email. Yes, email! Sure, many of you have [given up on the stuff][7] in favor of more instant means of communication, but don't worry, because that's here too! Yes, the [BlackBerry PlayBook][4], which was released 10 months ago, is now finally able to send messages all by itself. Sure, BlackBerry Bridge is still there and more useful than ever, tying the PlayBook even closer to your work-issued smartphone, but the 7-inch slate finally feels like it can stand a little more solidly on its own two feet.
Thankfully that's not all -- this recently refreshed refreshed tablet has a few other tricks up its sleeve, most notable being the ability to run some (focus on the _some_) Android apps without having to resort to any messy tweaks or hacks. The experience isn't entirely clean, nor does it quite feel like the refresh the "two dot oh" moniker implies, but it is a nice step forward. Click on through to see what you get.
