RIM Pulls BlackBerry PlayBook Update After Being Released Yesterday

Jul. 19 BlackBerry, Tablets 1 comment

Research In Motion put out an update v.1.0.7.2650 for the BlackBerry PlayBook and less than 24 hours later they pulled the update. It appears users are having issues with the BlackBerry Bridge once this update is installed and because the PlayBook requires the Bridge for basic functionality (email and contacts) this was a major flaw.

RIM is expecting to release another update with a fix later this week. It’s reasons like this that are causing tablet manufactures trouble competing with the Apple iPad. Hopefully RIM keeps their word and the fix is released soon.
