RIM's BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.0 adds native email, Android apps

For the first time, Research In Motion's (RIM) BlackBerry PlayBook tablet now has a fully functioning email app. Previously, PlayBook owners could only use the included email app if they had their tablet wirelessly synched with a BlackBerry smartphone nearby. RIM recently released the update to the tablet's operating system, which gives users the ability to run applications developed for Google's Android operating system.
