BlackBerry Playbook Receiving Nice Update with OS 2.0

The interface is so nice and usable that most of us at Chip Chick in fact prefer it to Android Tablets. Playbook is very intuitive. If you’ve never played with it, navigation is optimized with gestures. From the playbook border you swipe into the screen. So, swiping from the bottom border up will access your common apps from any screen. Swipe up again and you access all of your apps. Swiping from either side will transition between apps, which is very efficient for multi-tasking. Lastly, swiping from the top down accesses in-app multitasking features and other options.

Big improvement in Playbook

Messaging has seen a big improvement in Playbook. Now there’s a unified inbox for Email and social messaging that includes better notifications, in-app multitasking, and an improved keyboard with smarter predictive typing. The in-app multi-tasking allows you to compose and background a number of different emails straightway without having to save as a draft and reopen it. The messaging app includes social networks like Twitter and LinkedIn. The contacts and calendar as well integrates information from these social networks.

Android apps will work seemlessly, on the Playbook OS 2.0.  If there are Android  Skye, Netflix and Kindle apps at that time you may be in luck.  I’ve heard from OS2.0 beta testers the some android apps may as a matter of fact work better on the Playbook
