Some Pics of Native Email, LinkedIn & More on PlayBook

Posted: 03 Dec 2011 06:54 PM PST

We have seen a few pictures and screenshots of the upcoming BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.0 but now we have more courtesy of Kevin @CrackBerry. He scored a beta on his device and posted up some screenshots of the setup screen for native email along with calendar and contact sync. This looks like the ActiveSync variant which is why it asks how many days to sync and also means it will have read/unread sync. This release Kevin was showing off has setup screens included for native Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn which is nice to see. It also has the blinking red LED for when you have an email…

Here is to hoping RIM makes a full public beta of this starting… yesterday!

2012 BlackBerry Roadmap BBX Phones and More

Posted: 03 Dec 2011 10:49 AM PST

Kevin over at CrackBerry posted an interest post this morning about suspected phones for 2012 as well as the 10″ PlayBook. There are no leaked images, or concrete specs, but insight on form factor and estimated release months.

We have all see the leaked BlackBerry London, but now we have more code names to go by Lisbon, Milan, Nevada, and Black Forest. The Milan has the same release time as the London, so it might be a CDMA version of the London or vice-versa. The code names internally are very close with London being R072 and the Milan R071.

There is no info on the Lisbon, could it be a BBX slider? I know that if it had the form factor of the Droid 3 and be a landscape slider I would be pleased. That keyboard is a dream, and spacious… compare to the Torch form factor of now.

The Nevada is suspected to have the classic form factory of BlackBerrys with the trademark QWERTY keypad and a form factor similar to the 9900. It would be nice as Kevin said, to see a slightly bigger screen to take advantage of BBX/QNX fluidity. But unfortunately this one isn’t scheduled to really be released until the Fall.

And finally the Black Forest, this one is thought to be the 10″ PlayBook. RIM has made it clear that even with their struggles with the current PlayBook, that they are completely dedicated to the tablet market. It is also suspected to be 4G ready when released as well.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out and hopefully we can see one or more these at the upcoming CES show.
