Blackberry Playbook: OS Tour

[123charlierod]

In amizon.com you can get the playbook cheaper but go on blackberry app world and list the apps you want

[Bireverything1000]

@qs28jj12 alot



[averageodd]

@eassd1 no

[Fckuimemanny]

I wish it was larger >.<, and get more apps.

then it will be a IPAD KILLER !!

[elliftv]

Haha....no excuses apple right? 2:47

[biggerben2010]

@LandOfTech screw you

[jamchals]

I'll wait for a 10" version and see how this thing sells. Would be interested to know what the e-mail client looks like. Move videos SKB!

[jrthetucan]

@jamchals hell yeah I'll wait for the 10" version to.

[mateo4779]

@Pazarsify its not copied from anybody... just because apple had the first widely successful one doesnt make it the inventor. in fact microsoft released some tablets back in 2001.

[LordWarlos]

Seriusly Soldier... Do u shit money?... or, are you a drug dealer? D:

[Skilledhomny]

I saw the advert on your gears 3 video and I had the urge to click x.

[goldcrownkingmod]

looks better than the ipad. amazing lol

[TheJamesc91]

looks amazing and i was really impressed at my friends playbook thinkin of grabbin one!

[lliifvee]

i like ios cuz its the smoothest os out there, honeycomb is cool but very laggy at the moment, this bb os is okay but not very customizable so just makes it another boring ios interface

[tallblondekid]

@SickoZone It will be able to run the apps, but you can't get them from google, you would have to get them from some other source, like Amazon

[SickoZone]

@tallblondekid which means u gotta pay... unlike the typical android devices.

[quest8899]

It's almost as good as iOS

[LandOfTech]

wow now thats a cool OS! screw honeycomb.

[ItzTimm]

@eassd1 Thats what she said!

[miguelgilmaya]

The PlayBook is the best 7 inch tablet and the iPad the best 10 inch. That's all. You can't compare them, the size is a very important difference, if you want a small tablet, go for Playbook, if you want it bigger, iPad.

[junaidkureshi1]

Nice device but screen is too small, price is high is the price of ipad 2 they are trying to sell 7" without basic email system, but for flash suckers u have flash in it no matter u cant use ur email on it, second tab rushed to compete ipad and missed basic functionality, RIM took one year to make this device and forgot email, fail

[kyfothye]

sick device love it but the torch hate it

[ezrs158]

Cool OS, but does RIM really think this will compete with the iPad? I heard it doesn't even have an email client...

[seken2nun]

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiice.

[seken2nun]

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiice

[SOLE1PRODUCTIONS]

....guess what this means? Apple is gonna have to do something RAD for ipad 3 in order to keep in the market, plus they are gonna have to do a price drop

[Roliva213b]

I find this video hard to masterbait to

[SOLE1PRODUCTIONS]

@Roliva213b i dont haha

[ProfitGSBH]

This Device Just Dunk From The Free Throw Line On The Ipad

[tinyindiandude13]

So is this better than iPad 2? I actually dont think you can compare it with iPad 2 due to its size.

[whitemsk]

very neat device

[itsamadman]

Okay, am I the only one who thinks that this OS is totally jacked from Web OS from all the palm devices?

[gollyzila99]

@itsamadman You're not alone.

[RedPaintedTable]

blackberry i would rather buy ur tablet rather then apples. This is because the hardware and softwore completely destroys ipad 2. Welldone blackberry but i would never use a blackberry phone over iphone unless u come out with something similar to ur tablet.

[NDSCollector]

so do have to start the swipe on the bezel? because otherwise it would go to the menu every time you scroll a page up on a browser.

[ushipp]

So i can't play fruit ninja on this? :(

[zeshfashad]

blackberry hahaahah why do suckers always have to buy crap?Thank god for apple. Apple was first at it and the best for sure. if apple agrees to put flash on their devices, do you really think RIM has a chance of selling this garbage and their garbage phones to idiots?

[eah2119]

looks good, but does it feel good? meaning, does it feel natural?

[Dugm94]

How is a normal person gonna know how to do all of those swiping gestures? You must have to read manuals or something, then remember it all...

[IamMeUareYou]

@Dugm94 ikr...lol, but thn, thy may just feel natural and common sence really, flick left/right , go left/right next app, corner you see the bar thing. mhm, but ik wat u mean

[Awayze]

If it gets access to Android apps and update brings mail, calendar and screenshot functionality, bye bye iPad 2

[420themilkman420]

Ipads lil bro lol

[xtracheeez]

Is there gonna be a full overview or a comparison to the iPad? I always love your comparisons...unbiased, which is a rare trait for a tech analyst let alone a Mac user!

[junior14norte]

where can i get one

[justjam11432]

how long is the battery life?

[myndwork]

alright bye bye!

[UniqueVisionsEnt]

Nicee!!!

[hsh8383]

does it have BBM and how much does it cost? i don't know about you guys but i look at the price of the item i'm buying before everything :p

[commanderbige]

My only concern would be the impact the flash has on the battery life. It has been proved that flash reduces the battery life by about 33%, but seeing as it isn't flash based, it could be different.

[TheBMR22]

I wonder how many times hes gone to his iPad and swiped up or down

[frypod18]

I just played with a PlayBook at officemax, I'm not gonna lie, it's pretty friggin sweet.

[MRTHEODORE123456789]

which one would you recommend the Ipad 2 or the blackberry playbook .??

[iamtheapple]

I have THE iPad 2, but I'm really jealous because it runs YouTube desktop-version and flash in general. It is really annoying that you can't see people's channels withouth subscribing. Just Some small annoying things, Apple. Solve them!

[Bloof123]

i see iPad2 and the Playbook being the dominant tablets, One Android, many companies battle to keep people going to them. Only thing bad about this one, no home button :( iPad = Playbook Zoom< Playbook and iPad

[Michael1Jackson11]

does really have a 4G 64GB version and 2 1080p cameras

[bosat73]

flash is the big advantage of this nice product!

[Tjosansa]

Really nice flow in that device.. Looks really good.

[HankIsAwsome]

i like that the youtube is the youtube on any computer the ipad has its own youtube app witch can be annoying

[Turbohead25]

Doesn't excite me for some reason

[BK1n2]

@Turbohead25 prolly cuz its not by apple ;)

[pilarlynn]

I would get it only because it have flash.

[TheArmenianBBoy]

@pilarlynn

Galaxy tab has flash too.why not Galaxy tab? anf fuck playbook?^^

[Geneoipad]

LAKERS ALL THE WAY BABY!!!!!!!!!

[tramlaw72]

It looks like the best tablet that has come to challenge the iPad. Though if I were to pick one right now I still thing I would be going with the iPad. The iPad is huge compared to this thing.

[zinkscott]

Looks nice

[ilikeipads2]

Do an Ipad vs. Playbook comparison

[Vortex640]

Can you do a site review for TinyChat on this? Since it includes flash.

[MrPlTA]

This is more along the lines of what I believe a tablet OS and true multitasking should look like...not a familiar mobile OS on a bigger screen.

Now take this technology to a phone and you might actually still have a chance at a phenomenal comeback...

Well done Blackberry.

[gollyzila99]

@MrPlTA Then you're definitely going to love HP's TouchPad and Pre3.

[randomnikka27]

@MrPlTA WebOS!!!!!!! blackberry copied the hell out of WebOS!!! mobile platform? webos 2.0 tablet platform? webOS 3.0.... dont be blind! WebOS is the true version of this biter crap

[3migo]

@randomnikka27 QNX existed long before webOS did, it was just never implemented in a mainstream consumer device until now.

[TheMrMuscian]

What tablet do you use the most

[tlewi13]

Battery life?

[GundamLegacyExtreme]

Give it a 10in screen and I think we'll have a contender for the iPad... FINALLY something that can shut android up... now Blackberry... PUT THIS ON A PHONE!!

[7o7munoz7o7]

@GundamLegacyExtreme - something to shut android up? are you saying something besides iOS?

[GundamLegacyExtreme]

@7o7munoz7o7

lol woops, forgot to say something OTHER than iOS to shut up android >.> my bad ^^' I'm still waiting for windows to FINALLY put Mobile 7 on a tablet now...

[osamaFXX]

Kinda cool.. but small

[McMaXiMaX]

you forgot the unlocking gesture lol :)

[imthebestinthewest12]

My friends think you are caramilk. rasist bastards

[Noro9894]

BRANDNEW is your word :D

[cdnml]

this looks unique and lot equal/better one to ipad so far.

so far very impressed :P

i was impressed by iOS and again after long time playbook's OS looks really satisifying

[Subtr3y]

u're late? :P

[mm0zgur]

real multi-tasking impressed so far...

the first genuine iPad rival?

[CCSniperzZ]

i am an apple person but, because the ipad and iphone ipod touch doesnt have flah it ruins it so i might be thinking of getting the playbbook

[DeceptiveDecepticons]

Looks quite smooth and not lagging though.

[LadyMyara]

cool but small!

[stevequadder199]

ipads all they way

[kjakur]

@SoldierKnowsBest

Isn't that slide up with one finger gesture annoying when you're browsing etc?

[shatyraboyd]

i think i will stick wit my ipad 1, and ipad 2

[FonDullYoAnis]

I prefer an ipad2

[RonjaMiin]

YouTube isn't optimize for touch devices :o So it doesn't make sense :o

[jonsutubechannel]

If it had a better app store I'd buy!

[NSBexclusive22]

I love this BB PlayBook Im thinking of getting this = )

Ipad 2 or Blackberry playbook? which one should I get???

[smasherz9]

@NSBexclusive22 PlayBook because BlackBerry have really changed the way we interact with tablet devices and Apple only use the small interactions that we are so used to like app switching. PlayBook is what i'd go for. :)

[littleG227]

Is the foundation of the OS Android or not? What are the possibilities of these incredible features being implemented into either the iPhone5 and iPad2 or iPad3. Please answer this question either on ask soldier episode or any any other fashion you so may choose.

[CarthaginianPeace]

surprisingly looks very smooth and it has a pretty clean os far as i can tell

[flazy]

wow very nice i didnt expect RIM to put so much into there OS they must really want to come back in the game.

its nice BUT

- small

-not enough apps

- no jailbreaks

- no experienced device (too new)

- some people smart phones can do almost same functions so whats the point of a tablet?

it is a really innovative OS but i dont think it will be a huge hitter for lack of apps a development.

[SuperMachead1]

@flazy "some people smart phones can do almost same functions so whats the point of a tablet?"...I think you hit on a huge point....smart phones can do almost if not everything...so size is "key" and basically the only draw to a tablet...blackberry phone users are used to tiny screens and lackluster multimedia, so this might be perfect for them....but for me, I already have a 4 inch high res screen on my phone and it can do everything...so for me it has to be much bigger than my phone....

[IIIKrazyKiDDIII]

Touchpad rip.

[rvelamala]

If you watched Dr.dre-I need a doctor feat eminem, youll see is a marketing ploy for hp:

1:They show off the hp touchpad alot

2:they show the hp touchpad with another hp phone showing off the bezel bump thing

3:They show off the hp envy 14-beats by Dr.dre special edition.

doubt it? go watch the vid

[rvelamala]

BlackBerry OS==Web OS==Android Honeycomb>>>iOS>>Symbian

Do you agree?

(apple fanboys please dont comment)

[zelehun]

@rvelamala So practically, if someone agrees you it's good, if don't then don't comment? Sad sad person.

Now if you'd elaborate why the way too young and unpolished bb os / web os and the boring android is better then the iOS...

[mrmagoo662]

Wow. This thing just ripped of web os. Nice

[rvelamala]

BlackBerry OS==Web OS==Android Honeycomb>>>iOS>>Symbian

Do you agree?

(apple fanboys please dont comment)

[SkiiDizzle]

yeah, I'll keep the Ipad. Passing on the Fakebook!

[zeektyhbomb]

meh, I'll stick with my laptop... it does everything this does and more.

[thatonebeone]

hows the battery life? i dont like flash its a battery eater..but its good to have just in case

[kizz1101]

what are the complaints about? small power button and small screen.. at least they nailed the dual camera and multi tasking thing.

and yeah, ppl still use BB phones coz they are awesome. ( i havent heard of such a thing as appleM)

screw haters

[BigManNiNo305]

I'll keep my iPad but I would but this before the xoom

[LayDLuv]

Its already a WIN over the ipad because of flash.. Yay for FB games!

[matholo11]

"appication"

[cazaders]

Playbook is a FAIL on arrival. You forgot to say that it doesnt have a native email app. You can only view email if you have a blackberry device and sends it to the playbook.

[patilsaurabhr]

@cazaders That single point that news on TV is singing about isn't going to make it fail. Even honeycomb doesn't have this good multitasking, and iPad has no real flash. But anyways, it's nice device.

[KishanOG]

@cazaders whats so special about a native app for email. you can just use the browser to view your emails - just like your pc..... o.O

[InfindecimalSlice]

I want an ipad with flash :/

[djrollzz]

they stole the multi tasking interface from HP web OS ! hahaha

[BlackberryAllDay]

how much money u make from this comment?

[MrEdward1105]

Haha, I used to have the pre and most of the swapping gestures are the same

[TheX3Gamer]

power button feels like its gonna break everytime i press it, i swear one day that tiny thing will just bust off

[nehlda]

@soldierknowsbest you should put an anotation saying you have to swipe up on the bezel

[TechnologyOnCall]

Nice review, Nice Tablet. Not bad for a BB device as they are on their way out of this industry. :-)

[lucafe006]

hmmm the eddy beddy off button, sound like they need to put that in mind in there next review of black berry 2

[SCHIZOPHRENlC]

"Alright, lemme get rid of this... alright, bye bye."

WE WANT FLASH.

[PenileFracture]

Hmm. iPad has better apps, but I really like the OS on this one.

[nehlda]

@soldierknowsbest if you swipe up to boost... how do you swipe up to multitask?

[nlvg6585]

@nehlda you swipe up once to use boost DURING the game, if you swipe up again it takes it off full screen

[nehlda]

@nlvg6585 i just noticed how it works, you have to swipe the bezel cause its touch sensative. thanks though!

[darkthehedgehog2]

(sarcastically)so wheres the buttons?

[greenscreeningthings]

Nice, but geez, they seriously just copy and pasted webOS

[gordonandsandy]

iPad 2 all the way!!!

[TechnoHelp02]

now that is a 2x ipod touch

[HipHopTheme]

the browser is better than apples.....

[BearGrylls123100]

dunno if i missed it, but whats the price? also anyone know if its coming to ireland? it looks really cool

[SoraGoku]

Why couldn't Apple pull this off????

Playbook > iPad but the iPad does have a huge App Store so thats decent enough to want to get that over the Playbook (games and such)

Anyway, Playbook is better as a tablet... iPad = big ol' iPod Touch

[Khalduknight]

Multitasking on the Blackberry Playbook looks to be great compared to the multitasking functionality of other platforms. Unfortunately, it is (in a way) eclipsed by the smaller screen.

[Aidanbrooks321]

I like it :) 

[crazyjd64]

the ipad might be the first, but it is also the worst

[Idolivan]

lol when the AD on the video soldier showed on youtube i went to my mouse and tried to exit out of it but then realised it just paused the vid instead of exit out of the AD...FAIL

[iPwnisher]

I think I would be more satisfied with the xoom

[effahthebest]

If only it was BIGGER!!

[Mrglyndyfrdwy1]

@effahthebest That's what SHE said :D

[KishanOG]

@effahthebest ...size doesnt matter ? =P

[robertonator101]

@KishanOG size thats matter

[OMGItsMitchell]

I'm actually pretty excited about this thing

[jjchenjj]

Stream

[jjchenjj]

Once they have something like airplay so i can stream

[MetalFTWin]

Seems like a cool device!

[MajorBreakfast]

They finally pulled it off! Well of course it lacks very important apps. But I think it's far more important that they released it. They should have lauched this way sooner. Still now it's there and it looks great. The multitasking on that device is supreme and the flash playback is smooth. There are many blackberry owners out there and for them this device is perfect. What I don't like is the small screen. AND: It has not such (minor) but interesting features like airplay.. apple is still ahead

[drla0000]

Amazing'!!!!'"???!Junhbfrhgwih­hdbifbhqbsdqfhijbsdacbojhdscob­jsacxojnbjnbocsanjob Xx

[megadetroyer100]

incredible fast!

[teknikmonstret]

good video as always !

A little request MR Soldier! I would love if you did all your coming videos in 1080p (right now it is only 720p) beacuse I always watch my youtube videos in full HD with my Sony TV wich is connected to my computer as a secondary screen... geeky i know .. but hey!

\ TeknikMonstret from Sweden!

[Graystonia]

to many exploits with flash... very vulnerable to infections... it is nice to have, but adobe doesn't take care of the product for me to really like using on my mobile device.

[henrikroxs]

There's not even a Mail app for this thing. Complete fail. This thing is dead on arrival.

[Huffdev]

its looks like a ps3 kinda eww

[howsmartareyou]

looks decent, i still prefer iOS

[IIIKrazyKiDDIII]

@howsmartareyou

No you prefer Apples ecosystem, not the operating system.  Am I right?

[saadpaki96]

does that tablet have bbm

[herezlenny]

when is it out in the uk

[hroksvaag]

Much bettermulti

[hroksvaag]

You forgot you can swipe from app to appwhen youare inside an app. Poor mark. Arnt you a tech reviewer

[hroksvaag]

U fiorgot youcan swipe from app to sp

[chilled99]

@hroksvaag the replay button is there to prevent you from making stupid comments. Try.

[Noro9894]

that multitasking is very hard sometimes its gone crash,trust me

[effectsportal]

I love Apple and have a mac and an iPhone, but I would be more likely to buy this than the iPad 2!!

[NikolasTerenceStow]

THis just looks difficult

[SqeakyGoldfish]

This tablet actually seems really good.

[boardiee]

It's nice but it's too small :/

[Noro9894]

@boardiee

yeah its too smal to watch porno :p

[detroit110]

@Noro9894 its actually not, watching brazzers on it is amazing in true hd. the screen so hd that the screen size dont matter.
