  • RIM's BlackBerry PlayBook is a fast, powerful 7-inch tablet with HDMI output, advanced multitasking and security, and a browser that integrates Adobe Flash 10.2 for a desktop-style Web experience
  • The 7-inch screen cramps the powerful browser; the wake button is difficult to push; and app selection trails the competition
  • The BlackBerry PlayBook ably showcases RIM's powerful new mobile operating system, but its middling size diminishes many of its best features....

  • Solid hardware and build quality, Superb e-mail functionality and social networking integration, Easy-to-use interface with touch-sensitive bezels, Fully functional without a BlackBerry smartphone to tether, Good speakers on each side for watching video,
  • Still no expandable storage, OS can be finicky at times, No native third-party integration, Official apps from A-list third-party developers are missing
  • One of the most important features of the PlayBook is its ability to seamlessly integrate with a BlackBerry smartphone, but unfortunately, we did not have a device on hand to test this functionality. RIM has managed to fix the Bridge issue since we last r...

  • Strong, fast performance, Gorgeous screen, Low price, Highly integrated e-mail and social-media apps, Pleasant to use
  • Still no BBM or Enterprise Server support, Android apps are hit-or-miss, No memory-card slot
  • A huge price drop and revised OS make RIM's tablet much more appealing to consumers than the first version. (Business users still need to use their BlackBerry phones in concert with it for some functions.) Read More...
