Smaller size is easier to handle
Elegant design
Feature packed
Theoretically fast hardware
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
Great form factor, +Fast and very powerful multi-tasking, +Excellent camera and file storage
Terrible at sharing media, -Buggy browser and mixed flash support, -No meaningful app selection
The PlayBook might be the ultimate diamond in the rough. It features fantastic hardware and great stock features, but with a disappointing app selection and a handful of weird bugs thrown into the mix. I can't recommend this tablet to the average consu...
Overall I have to say I really enjoy using the PlayBook. It’s stylish, powerful and a very fast device. I love the fact that I can multitask, take decent pictures and surf the web with Flash. However I think the lack of apps and native email will scare...
As we have seen throughout this review, the BlackBerry PlayBook offers a lot to like, and a lot to hope for. The user experience is solid, it can be a joy to use, and we rarely found issues with crashing or instability. Unfortunately, that is not enou...
Solid hardware build quality, Excellent high-resolution screen, Speakers on both the left and right sides, Nice finger-friendly user interface, Comes with an office suite, Touch-sensitive bezel supports gestures, Top-notch HTML renderer, Flexible multitas
No expandable storage, Flash experience is underwhelming, Doesn't come with much functionality out of the box, Bridged file access didn't work for me, Crashes and other issues under high memory load
Although RIM has delivered excellent hardware and a well-designed user interface, the software experience still falls short of expectations. The tablet offers little functionality out of the box and suffers from an abysmally poor third-party applicati...
Great design and formfactor, U.I. is polished and easyto use, fast performance, excellent display that is complimented by a set of powerful builtin speakers, Android app compatibility is coming,
No dedicated email or calendar apps yet, hampered by lack of apps at the moment but that will surely change quickly, power/wake button is a bit too recessed, pricing could be more competitive.
We tested the WiFi only version of the BlackBerry Playbook with a 16GB capacity, although 32GB and 64GB versions are also available, and 3G and 4G models are also on their way. Overall, we've really taken a liking to the BlackBerry Playbook. The devic...
Abstract: For the better portion of the last month, we’ve been toiling away getting comfy with some of the newest tablets to hit the market of late, and now that we’ve gotten a feel for all of them, it’s best to sit down to compare and contrast them all in one m...

Abstract: No tablet since the release of the iPad has garned as much media attention as RIM's PlayBook. While the Motorola XOOM certainly had its fair share of limelight, the PlayBook has been herald not only for it's powerful hardware, but all new QNX-based operat...
Great design and sharp screen, Unique OS, Fun, intuitive gestures, Android, Java app support coming, Great keyboard, Best in class browser
Launch apps plentiful, but lacking quality, Screen size may be too small for some, BlackBerry Bridge has limitations, No native email, calendar apps
The PlayBook is not an “iPad killer, but if you're a BlackBerry phone user or are dying for a tablet, the BlackBerry PlayBook might be worth a look. ...
Wellbuilt body; gripfriendly back, Attractive IPS display, Wonderfully portable, BB Tablet OS is capable, clever at its heart, Fast; great at multitasking, Better than usual cameras for a tablet; 1080p, Solid battery life,
Painfully unfinished software; no native email, calendars, more, No BBM at all on launch, BlackBerry Bridge doesn't work as well as we'd need, Underdeveloped camera and image handling apps, Poor app selection triggered by poor developer tools, Screen too small for some (not all) tasks, No direct Mac syncing until summer.
We wanted to like the BlackBerry PlayBook, and in some ways, we still do. The hardware is designed with a love and attention that's still rare in tablets from beyond Cupertino. It's genuinely unique. And while we think HP would like to have a word with...
Lack of organizer apps and email client, No video chat support, Requires BlackBerry smartphone for some additional functionality, A bit pricey for its set of features
RIM is really introducing two products with the PlayBook. A new operating system, and new hardware in a different sector. There’s a lot of new-ness here. It definitely feels like they’re doing the right things. The hardware has great specs and the ope...
