BlackBerry Playbook


This is a gadget that we all have been hearing and waiting for a long time. I dint post a review of this before because I first wanted to play with the device myself and make sure that everything i hear about it is true.
Things I like about it is
1 The display is really bright and sharp.
2 It is supposed to support even 4g speeds.
3 The web experience on this device is excellent.
4 The multitasking capability on the device is great.
5 Its very portable and handy. (those are not my hands.lol)

The PlayBook also distinguishes itself from other tablets with its size, featuring a 7-inch screen (1,024x600) that falls right between the iPad's 9.7-inch screen and the 5-inch screen of the Dell Streak. In all, the PlayBook's dimensions measure 5.1 inches tall, 7.6 inches wide, and 0.4 inch thick, weighing just under a pound.

On the software end, the PlayBook runs an OS designed from the ground up by BlackBerry, which is compatible with a number of BlackBerry services and apps. The BlackBerry tablet OS also supports Adobe Flash 10.1, WebKit, Java, Open GL, and Adobe Air. Supported video formats include H.264, MPEG4, and WMV, up to 1080p HD resolution (scaled down to the screen's lower native resolution).

Though it seemingly isn't required for users to have a BlackBerry smartphone to use the PlayBook, it certainly doesn't hurt. Existing BlackBerry users can pair with the PlayBook over Bluetooth to provide them with a secure gateway to connect with their BlackBerry e-mail, contacts, calendar, and tasks. In theory, pairing with a BlackBerry phone also allows the PlayBook to take advantage of the phone's cellular data connection for surfing the Web or streaming media, though carriers have yet to weigh in on how far users can take this tethering capability. On its own, the PlayBook features an integrated 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi connection.

Battery life is going to be an obvious concern, especially considering the powerful dual-core processor and support for Adobe Flash, which Apple famously maligned as a big drain on battery life. Other features, such as multitasking, HD video playback, HDMI output, and HD video recording, are also well known battery-life killers. Currently, But it should be good compared to other devices which have similar capabilities.

well it all comes down to the price of the playbook and according to my sources it should be very good pricing. So in short we may have a Ipad killer at hand.
