Hi all, Michael here once again to tell you about the latest update available for your BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet. BlackBerry® Tablet OS v1.0.7.2942 is available today and it introduces one small but very important new feature: differential updates. The differential updates feature allows us to update only the sections of the BlackBerry Tablet OS that require updating. This should result in smaller download file sizes and therefore faster updating for you! Of course, differential updates feature will also come in handy as we prepare for more feature-packed BlackBerry Tablet OS updates later this year. =D – Via Inside BlackBerry

Update: Several readers reporting that Android player does not work with this OS update.

    If anyone is following these updates closely, and I have since early May, there is some logic to this whole Playbook update sequence.
    Measured updates and enhancements certain areas being enhanced bugs fixed etc. 
    The latest is an obvious setup for the “BIG DOWNLOAD”, why else set up for “Selected” downloading
    I think this bodes well for the possibility of the “Android” and  / or Mail-Calendar upgrade on the Canadian Labour Day weekend September 2-5.
    Who knows…
    This update fixed some minor issues and the bridge is, at least in my case absolutely bullet-proof.
