This is the first major update available for BlackBerry PlayBook users ever since the tablet has been released last year. Among the most important features available in PlayBook 2.0 OS we can find native email, contacts, and calendar support, direct integration into Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter, support for some Android applications, and better Bridge support.

RIM says that the BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.0 will give users the possibility to unify inboxes from several work and personal accounts, and to receive messages from Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. The new contact cards will automatically extract information from the three social websites, while the calendar will also be updated with information from your social media accounts.

The new BlackBerry Bridge application allows users to connect their tablet with their BlackBerry smartphone via Bluetooth, thus giving users the possibility to access the information on their smartphone on a larger screen. You can view photos, edit documents, or browse the web among others. The Bridge app also gives users the ability to use a BlackBerry smartphone as a wireless keyboard or mouse for the PlayBook tablet.
