BlackBerry PlayBook Tablet OS Version 1.0.6 Available In BlackBerry Beta Zone For Developers

By Mauricio

RIM today released a beta version of the BlackBerry PlayBook Tablet OS with a focus on developers who’d like to preview the update and test their apps on it. Version 1.0.6 of the Tablet OS is available in the BlackBerry Beta Zone but is an exclusive “Preview Program” where not everyone will have access to it so if you’re not seeing it, that’s why. From RIM:

“On behalf of Research In Motion®, we are pleased to tell you about an exclusive Preview Program focused on providing developers a chance to test their applications on BlackBerry Tablet OS v1.0.6. The goal of this program is to ensure that your AIR 2.7 and Flash 10.3 applications are optimized and ready for the BlackBerry Tablet OS v1.0.6 release. Please read this entire notice, as it contains key information about your participation in this program.

This program is only available to a select group of BlackBerry PlayBook developers; as such we are very interested in hearing your comments and experiences. Since the program will remain open for approximately 1 week, it is crucial to submit all issues and feedback in a timely manner. Please use the programs discussion boards and share your experiences with us. RIM moderators will review.”

While beta version 1.0.6 is focused on developers some users who aren’t developers have reported receiving an invite to the Preview Program. If you’re a developer (or not) and would like to share your findings for version 1.0.6, feel free to do so in the comments!
