RIM: BB10 OS Coming To BlackBerry Playbook

Turns out that the BlackBerry PlayBooks that were recently spied in the FCC with HSPA+ and LTE connectivity aren't the only bits of good news for RIM's 7-inch tablet. Rob Orr, RIM's VP of product management, has told TechRadar that the PlayBook will be updated to the BlackBerry 10 OS. Orr didn't specify when PlayBook owners could see the upgrade, but he did mention that RIM plans to release its first BB10 handset towards the end of the year and that the OS will then make its way to the PlayBook after that launch, but we imagine it will be around the same time that the first BB10 smartphone hits the market.
