Now you no longer have to connect your BlackBerry PlayBook to an external phone to send an email. In BlackBerry PlayBook 2.0, RIM has introduced a native email. RIM’s Co-CEO Mike Lazaridis said that, “with BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.0 we are building on this strong foundation, as well as leveraging our strengths in communications, social integration and productivity, to allow people to use their BlackBerry PlayBook in new ways throughout the day.”
The inbox for PlayBook will be such that users will be able to read and scroll across multiple emails at the same time.Users will also be able to mix work and personal email accounts. The lack of native email on PlayBook has been one of the major drawbacks of the tablet and it contributed hugely to it’s failure. Now with the availability of a native email, one can hope that RIM will do better on the tablet market.
Another important announcement RIM made at CES 2012 was that from today onwards, a new smartphone OS for it’s smartphone, version 7.1 will be available.

When Facebook acquired Instagram for a whopping billion dollars, many of us kept wondering that why on Earth would the social network pay such a hefty sum for a photo sharing service.
