For those who are looking to root their BlackBerry PlayBook, the updated version of the Dingleberry tool makes the task a lot simpler. The features which the new release has on offer include the option to downgrade the standard operating system to an earlier version — to let the Dingleberry app to gain root access — along with support for streaming video from Hulu. Of course there is also access to Android market that the Dingleberry app makes it possible on the PlayBook.
The process to root the device requires downgrading the PlayBook OS to the older version. This required a lot of tweaking with the previous instance of the Dingleberry tool. With the new version, that has been taken care of as the app itself includes the option to downgrade. Once downgraded, rooting then becomes a simple job.
Research in Motion had earlier issued an update in response to the first version of the Dingleberry rooting tool which had patched the loop hole that led to the birth of the Dingleberry in the first place.
Also if you are unsure if its really worth installing the DingleBery app, well this process allows one unlimited access to the device innards by way of software capabilities. Like for instance to install Google Android Market on the device — which it does not come preloaded with — rooting would be a necessary first step.
Meanwhile, a leaked roadmap of RIM products for 2012 include an updated 3G+ complaint PlayBook that should be ready by April which is around the same time the 7 inch tablet would be complete one year of its existence. The rumored 10 inch Playbook tablet is also in the pipeline though it won’t be ready to hit market before December 2012.

With a keen interest in tech, I make it a point to keep myself updated on the latest developments in technology and gadgets. That includes smartphones or tablet devices but stretches to even AI and self-driven automobiles, the latter being my latest fad. Besides writing, I like watching videos, reading, listening to music, or experimenting with different recipes. The motion picture is another aspect that interests me a lot, and I'll likely make a film sometime in the future.
