  • Make no mistake, the BlackBerry PlayBook has plenty of potential. The hardware is fast, the design soberly striking (annoying power button notwithstanding) and the QNX OS pulls many of the best aspects from rival platforms into a stable, generally wel...

  • Abstract:  BlackBerry Bridge, the app which promises to bring all of your core smartphone apps to RIM's latest tablet, has gone live with the launch of the PlayBook today. Despite a few hiccups with the app rollout, I managed to get my Torch 9800 paired up with the...

  • Solid construction, Premium compact feel, Brilliant looking display, Responsive platform experience
  • 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
  • First and foremost, we need to commend RIM for crafting such a premium tablet while retaining that oh so firm pricing structure that’s increasingly appearing to be the golden mark at this point. Picking it up, there’s no arguing that RIM placed a lot...

  • RIM has been big on calling the BlackBerry PlayBook an uncompromised web experience, but honestly, the millisecond you put a browser on a seven-inch screen and make people use their fat fingers to navigate, it's already compromised. It almost feels like R...

  • From its multitasking abilities to extra features like video chat to quality of apps, the RIM BlackBerry PlayBook is bested by both the iPad 2 and the Xoom. Where the PlayBook succeeds, aside from the jammed Power button issue, is in overall design. The R...

  • Excellent user interface. Sharp, beautiful screen. Topnotch browser with full Flashvideo support. Wirelessly transfers files to and from computers on same network. Internet tethering with Blackberry phones works well—and it's free,
  • Some hardware issues and significant software bugs. No native email support at launch—only browser bookmarks for Webmail sites. Bridge support for BlackBerry phone sync is not yet finalized. No video chat despite frontfacing camera.
