i carried out steps 1 - 6 more than 30 times, it will check for updates and then say: There are no Blackberry Tablet OS updates available

if there are no updates available, i am wondering why my device is not working

Great, at least now we're getting somewhere. You can now see the update function on BDM.

I too got the no updates available message several times. I found out it was coz my network was unstable. I suggest you keep trying it'll see the update or you look for another Internet connection to use. Btw, who is it Internet service provider and where are you located? Hope it's not starcomms.

blackberry released the playbook 2.1.590 develpers beta! u can multitask andriod apps

I am not going to upgrade for now. 519MB is no joke to download especially with Nigeria slow motion networks.

there are indications certain android apps might not work with 2.1. Encountered any so far?

I am running OS Ver 2.0.1.358 and all side loaded applications are working fine. But exercise caution if you don't have very fast internet with stand bye Generator to download the updates at once. Me think RIM should copy Microsoft in their updates which comes in bits and you can update it as you wish

Hmmm (sigh) interesting. All these posts have whet my appetite for a playbook. Well done guys for the magnanimous posts. God bless you. I can only imagine what bb10 will offer if os2 on playbook is this awesome. Oh by the way has anyone tried tango or skype on playbook?

TCD: LOL.

Abeg anyone here using a stylus pen for their device? Thinking of getting one for sketches and note taking

The stylus pen on the pb works well, but takes some getting used to.(I only use the spongy end)

i need help.....my PB and BB are not seeing connectify but ipad and other wireless can see it. any1 know how i can resolve this?

Make sure in the last box which is "security mode", you select "Access Point, WPA2-PSK" not any of the adhoc options. Blackberries don't recognize adhoc wireless connections.

I'm using the stylus, I'm enjoying it. I sweat alot on my fingers(weird I know ) the stylus makes things easier for me. PLUS I can draw sketches and sign scanned documents or pdfs accurately.

I don't know what tango is, but Skype is available as an android sideload, but the video chatting doesn't work. Just the text chatting

I dont know if anyone can help me out in this forum, got a brand new playbook just a week ago and about 3days i used the battery % to zero limit and the playbook went off by it self, since then i have been unable to charge it up back, now i cant even wake it up from its slumber, charging signal once shows red light and off it goes after few second if i plug it to the wall charger, i notice alot of other bb Playbook user complain of the same on Blackberry forum site. all tricks dey specify i have tried, do anyone have any idea on what to do, or where i can get the so called rapid charging pod. before i dig up a hole at the backyard for this trash tablet.

TCD. Maybe you should make it a new post I should be able to read cus I see no reason why the post should be ban. Also you can send ur advice to rasheed404@yahoo.com I should be able to get it in my mail. Am sure their might be other playbook user with this same issues as well.

Lol, dude this banning thing tire me. Anyway, have you tried repairing the OS using desktop manager? That's about the only saving grace for you now
