" BlackBerry has announced that its PlayBook tablet will no longer be receiving the BlackBerry 10 operating system. Unhappy with the way the software ran on the device, company CEO Thorsten Heins has confirmed that plans for an upgrade have been scrapped.  The PlayBook runs a more rudimentary operating system based on the same framework that BB10 was built with. Heins assured users that support for the tablet&amp;#039;s existing software will continue. BlackBerry 10 was unveiled in January along with the BlackBerry Z10 smartphone. Two other devices running the operating system have since made it to the market - the Q10 and the Q5. The Canadian firm announced its quarterly financial results earlier today, reporting losses of $84 million (\u00A355m) and lower-than-expected BlackBerry 10 device sales of 2.7 million. BlackBerry shipped 100,000 PlayBooks during the period in question. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
