RIM delivered on this massive update to the BlackBerry PlayBook, and no one can say they haven't.

Let's give the media a chance to prove that they can publish a great article about RIM's new OS2.0 PlayBook.

After all, it just got released a few hours ago, let everyone learn, and write up their own opinion at a later time
