Blackberry Playbook - First Look & Impressions

This is my first look and brief overview of the newly released Blackberry Playbook. Nothing hugely in-depth here, but more of a general overview and skim around the system and some of the core apps.

More to come in future videos!

You don't seem to be as educated as you might like to think on the device. The use of your technical terms didn't really help convince me about your review on the playbook and finally the camera you are using to record this video is absolutely terrible quality wise

[newbe5]

@WeeklyCutsTV I'm not educated on it, I never pretended to be ;) I used the PlayBook for about 30 minutes before making this video. I also never claimed this was a review, It's my First Look & Impressions. Hardly any point uploading a "First Look" video if it's my 500th look? This is a showcase of a normal guy, using his PlayBook for almost the first time, and how I felt about it. Apologies for the camera quality though, I was testing the camera on my Asus Transformer :P

Hey there! I have noticed that 2 people have disliked this video already... I appreciate the feelings and understand if you don't like it! But please, could you enter comments and explain why?

Otherwise I might start thinking you are just contracted by RIM to dispel bad press... Not that this is particularly BAD, just honest :)

@newbe5 I'd dislike it cos' it seems you have an Asus Transformer (filming this video) but you have not reviewed it. Rather have a 20 minute talk about that than the much maligned playbook.

[newbe5]

@bazanime LOL! Transformer review coming soon!

Hey newbe5, just wondering how many tablets have u actually got :L

cos if this is urs aswell and uve got the transformer in the background :P

plus the vega ofc ;)

@newbe5 Very possible people dislike the device more than the video, I was about to dislike it because of that. Stop wasting your time on that and get back on the Vega ;-P

[flibblesan]

@evilbobbins absolutely! And I agree with newbe5s comments about that. For a company that was pretty much built on email it's shocking that the device has no real support for email.
