It is about preferences, I prefer the Blackberry Playbook for the school and business it is so great and it helps me a lot than other tablets besides I have a Blackberry Torch so I had to buy this tablet and it is awesome. If you have a Blackberry Smartphone don't hesitate in buying this
Battery life is shit, Flex API is shit, apps available is crappy (new platform granted) , charging this device takes way to long... only good thing about this device is that its dual core and QNX is nice. However the API's to develop for this thing are so limited that its not worth it...
my professional opinion wait for a quad core win 8 tablet.
I like how it doesn't play the video and he tries to play it off. Why would you buy this from a company that makes outdated phones. Just save yourself the frustration and buy an iPad 2
Wow this is getting disgusting Steve Jobs wad right this is the year of the rip off. And like every ripoff it doesn't come close to the iPad. As usual apple sets the standard in computing technology and for that reason they will always be #1. this tab sucks
@MrTNAfan2010 fuck you how the fuck is that a rip off its new idea, that shitty ipad doesnt have Real multitasking and flash, all the ipad has is a better app store and thats because its been out longer the playbook is a completely new device.
@MrTNAfan2010 Apple didn't even invent their technology!! they bought it, from a company in India who were already developing the software but couldn't afford to make it available.
I'm surprised Palm/HP have not sued RIM yet...the whole playbook interface is a complete copy of web os. Not surprised...did anyone really expect RIM to make something original?
if u prefer a 10" android the Asus Transformer is the best one out now for $400. It's sold out everywhere u have to wait. This playbook had negative reviews due mostly its incomplete.
I love how Apple fanboys/fangirls troll on videos nothing related to iPad,iPhone, etc. I think it's because they truly are looking for a better device cuz they know apple is shit heres to Apple, good hardware-shitty software
I am watching this video on my ipad 2. I have to admit that this thing is not even enough to compete with Ipad( the first generation). I just went to future today just because of the curiosity. I went there and played around this device. After all, I don't see any point that why this device costs so much money that almost the same price of an ipad 2. 1, the design of this device is simple, but it seems like a very ordinary square pane without any angle that helps users to comfortably hold in h
The stupid thing about RIM is that they release playbook, hoping to compete with Ipad2 when it is released. While true, playbook has good performance and web features but lacking what Ipad2 has now.
everyone that says it doesnt have email unless u have a phone to tether to is an idiot cuz it has FULL BROWSER SO IF YOU HAVE A WIFI WHICH YOU SHOULD IF YOU CAN SPEND 500 DOLLARS YOU CAN GO TO GMAIL.COM OR ANYOTHER EMAIL AND CHECK IT GOD PPL ARE DUMB and you can go to game sites and play the games online which ipad cant do so i can go watch porn and play any game online all flash lol
I don't care for 3g or 4g models my phone has a hotspot and i can use that why pay for another data plan. when i'm in the house I will use wifi and when i'm outside my Htc evo has hotspot and if i'm in a 4g area then I have 4g. I'm thinking the other tablet makers just haven't figured that out yet huh...how did the 800 xoom do...yeah i see the wifi version will be out by 27th. this is why ipad and playbook will do very well. they know you need wifi as well from day one.
@lliifvee .. there is no difference between ipad 1 and 2 either than a little bit more speed and 2 shitty cameras that look horrible. Ipad 2 is not better than the playbook. Compare specs, the playbook is still and always will be faster than both ipads
@Marclh1992 yeah RIM is managed by uncreative untalented dinosaurs. the ONLY thing they have going for them purely out of sheer dumb luck is BBM. once that moves to other platforms its fucking over for RIM.
@Marclh1992 ah its qnx technology which has been around for 30 years and since palm didn't really sell and hp bought them and hp itself has to make the webOs work. but since blackberry has there's already to go and in a 7 inch form factor i think you will see this sell very well. 9.7-10.1 inch tablets are to big a 7 inch tablet gives you enough screen space and still be easy to carry around. let see you stick hp palm pad fit in your pocket.
1:17.. that's why Apple is trying to push for HTML5.. your morons (the competition) are ruining our progress. Flash sucks.. and this device is way too small..
I think this is an iPad killer, they just need to support dalvik virtual machine for Android app support, multi language support, app world support in most the countries, they just need to work harder in operation management. The platform is obviously much better than the iOS and Android, They should take real advantage.
blackberry was the first smart phone phone when u think about it so I wouldnt count them out they have been around a long time and know how to make good products.
