It's taken RIM awhile but it looks like they've finally made some progress on the essential native apps for the BlackBerry PlayBook. In case you're unfamiliar with the PlayBook tablet, one of its biggest drawbacks was the lack of functionality when used without a BlackBerry phone. For example, the tablet didn't even have its own native email client. Yesterday at the BlackBerry Innovation Forum, RIM gave a demonstration of the native email, contacts and calendar apps that will be arriving on the PlayBook sometime in the future.
