Pt2; BlackBerry Playbook test; Blunty's Fantabulous PB Journey - Part 2

RIM have tasked Blunty3000 with digging into the capabilities of their new tablet device, the Blackberry Playbook - So he nicked one form their office, and figured the best way to really get to grips with a device like this is go get on a train, for eleven hours... why? Well, this way Blunty's got 11 hours with nothing else to do but watch chunks of Australia whizz by and get to know the blackberry playbook back to front -

Blunty's job is to explore the playbook and it's job is to keep him from falling into a boredom-coma on a brain numbingly long train ride

the iPad 2 as better microphones though, with for me as an Audio geek is more important

[Blunty3000]

@PAPO1990 Its the way the audio is automatically processed that's the difference, the iPad, by dafault and with no way to turn it off, uses automatic noise cancellation (which is why the levels are MUCH lower), the PlayBook does not... as an "audio geek" I'd have thought you'd want a signal as free from automatic processing as possible so, if you need to, you can do it yourself manually and MUCH more accurately.

@Blunty3000 Why Twitter appear in a mobile version instead of the full desktop version. Rim mentioned "uncompromised browsing experience" didn't they?
