As some of you may already know, the next generation of BlackBerry devices will be powered by QNX. The very first of those devices is the PlayBook that was launched in April 2011. With the recent preview of PlayBook OS 2.0, it was announced that the native email application will be using Activesync instead of the usual BlackBerry NOC. For BES users, their emails will utilise the same Activesync while additional layers of securities will be added by BlackBerry’s NOC to provide the business users the security they are used to from BlackBerry.
