  • Sharp display has vivid, accurate colors, High-definition video playback impresses, Light weight makes this conducive to hold in hand
  • Initial software is buggy and lacks polish, No integrated e-mail, contacts, or calendaring, Awkwardly designed onscreen keyboard
  • The BlackBerry PlayBook gets a lot right, but it also feels very much like a work in progress. It could shine in the future, but for now it's constrained by its limited app selection, software glitches, and choices in functionality or design that shou...

  • Sexy design appeals to the Mies in you. Media is a joy with a brilliant display, great sound and an HDMI output. Two cameras: one on the front, a better one on the back. Supports tethering to BlackBerry phones. Comes with officeproductivity apps that can read and edit MS Office files. App multitasking is innovative and intuitive. Runs Flash, sorta,
  • RIM’s WebKitbased browser is about as stable as your bipolar uncle. No native email, calendar or contacts apps. App ecosystem is lacking. You’ll need to install a driver before you can connect it to your PC or Mac. Runs Flash, sorta.

  • Abstract:  The Playbook has a stylish design, feels well made and is nice and light. It's small with its 7-inch LCD screen and seems smaller than Samsung's Galaxy Tab, though that is also a 7-inch tablet. The Blackberry tablet device is easy to hold with one ha...
