Take a look at some of the apps features and planned features:

Features:

- View files from your CloudApp account
- Download files to your PlayBook from CloudApp
- Upload new files from your PlayBook to CloudApp
- View bookmarks right within the app
- Send files to and empty trash

Planned features:

- Auto-upload screenshots
- More as they come along

Keep in mind the app is currently in beta, and is available for those beta testers in Kisai Labs Test Lab.

I'm on Twitter.. A lot. One of the things I like the most about Twitter is the trending topics aspect. In case you're unfamiliar with the concept it's pretty easy. When something "trends" it just means it's being mentioned by a lot of people on Twitter at the same time. Topics can trend locally (city/state), nationally, or even worldwide. Sometimes these topics will be marked by a hashtag (#) to make it easier for people to join in. One of the most common Twitter hashtags for BlackBerry and its users is #teamBlackBerry.

Along those lines, I was thinking today how we don't really have a name for the date of the launch of OS 2.0. We needed something catchy; something that would grab people's attention and ask more about 2.0. Let's face it, we're all excited about this release and more people need to know about it.

So in honor of this release, we at BlackBerryOS have come up with the hashtag #TwosDay for the 21st. Seems appropriate, OS 2.0 + Tuesday = #TwosDay. We've tweeted this to BlackBerry and hopefully they will jump on this suggestion but even if they don't use it themselves we will.

We want all of our readers with Twitter accounts to also join in. On the 21st, tweet your favorite new feature(s) of OS 2.0 using the hashtag #TwosDay and maybe, just maybe we can get it to trend. Happy tweeting #teamBlackBerry!

PlayBook OS 2.0 articles are as common as anything right now. All this is due to one thing: BlackBerry has yet to issue an official statement regarding the 21st. Until they do, more and more leaks will be given attention, that's just how it works. This time we have more than just verbal speech to confirm this date, we have a written document! Apparently according to this doc, OS 2.0 will be available at 4:01am, assuming EST. I know I'll be up!

Usually with pictures like this we would encourage all to take it with a grain of salt, but even with the fact that word "untethered" is spelled wrong, we're pretty sure the date at least is right on. Four days and counting till "Twosday." Maybe it'll catch on...

As the release of the PlayBook 2.0 draws closer, we see more and more things relating to it be leaked and officially put up. The latest comes from Best Buy Canada and the fact that they are now showcasing the BlackBerry PlayBook and OS 2.0 on their website. The site highlights all the goodies will be getting on OS 2.0 and Bridge 2.0 next week. I personally love seeing Best Buy get behind the release this much. We saw the Best Buy flyer get leaked yesterday and now the site is up. Very, very cool stuff from Best Buy.

The suspense is killing us but we still have to wait. OS 2.0 for the PlayBook is coming and this Best Buy Canada flyer only adds fuel to the fire. According to Mobile Syrup, this ad will be running this Friday, the 17th so it's logical the update will be coming soon after. Our sources at RIM and Best Buy are still pointing to the 21st as the release date as we originally reported back in January. Apparently the rumored release date of the 17th was going to be accurate but the BlackBerry Bridge 2.0 would not have launched until days after, RIM wanted to avoid this as much as possible. They trying to get the BlackBerry Bridge 2.0 and it's Remote Control and Open On functions ready for the Tuesday launch.

I can't help but wonder though, why BlackBerry has put out an official date out there? What's stopping them for doing so? Although that does worry a bit, I can't help but think this update will come out on time and won't get pushed back. Just let us know RIM. It wouldn't hurt.

BlackBerry announced at the beginning of this month an offer for developers of Android and BlackBerry platforms to get more apps into App World for OS 2.0's launch this week. There has been such huge interest in submitting from developers, that BlackBerry has announced they will extending their original offer to developers to March 2nd, 2012.

How much interest has there been? According to BlackBerry's official DevBlog:

One of the things I personally think the PlayBook has been lacking is accessories. Yes, there are rapid charging stands and some cool covers/cases for it, but we're still waiting for a couple of cool accessories to make their way to our tablets; one of them being a docking station. Apparently PlayBook won't have to be waiting forever to get their hands on one. The guys at BlackBerryCzech have gotten some pretty cool pictures of what they say is RIM's upcoming OEM PlayBook docking station. Some of the reported features include:

Over the next week or so, we will most likely be seeing a lot, if not all, of our apps on the PlayBook update with the new OS 2.0 coming out next Friday, the 17th. Slacker Radio has now joined the party and has released a small upgrade to their popular app. No change log was available for this update.
