Today, Canadian mobile phone maker Research In Motion announced the availability of BlackBerry PlayBook OS v2.0.1.358 for all owners of the tablet PC.
The new software was made available for download over-the-air and is now up for grabs for free.
The update brings along a series of enhancements to the tablet PC’s browser, which are meant to improve the performance users benefit from when accessing specific websites.
Additionally, the new OS flavor brings better support for Android applications, and optimizations for the Video Chat, PIM and BlackBerry Bridge applications loaded on the tablet PC.
Various other changes were also included in the new software update, the Canadian smartphone designer announced.
Additionally, users should benefit from better performance on their PlayBook devices, courtesy of various bug fixes that have been packed inside the new OS version.
As soon as the new update is available for a specific device, users will receive a notification on the matter on the tablet’s screen.
“Users will automatically receive a software update notification on the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet status ribbon, or they can check for the software update at any time by going to the settings menu under “Software Updates” and tapping “Check for Updates”,” the mobile phone maker announced.
“Users who purchase and activate a BlackBerry PlayBook tablet on or after April, 17 2012 will automatically be updated to v2.0.1 as part of the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet setup process,” the company continues.
The new software weighs a little over 350MB. Before kicking off the update process, users should make sure that the device is fully charged. They should also backup all data on their devices, so as to make sure that no important files are lost during the process.
RIM announced the availability of a new software update for the tablet PC last week, when it also unveiled plans to make changes to app sideloading capabilities of its device.
