Amazon Kindle Fire vs Blackberry Playbook

Planned a quick comparison, but there was too much to talk about so it turned out pretty long. I compare the specs, I compare features then I tell you what I like based on what's important to me. Big subjective comparison.

Also FYI, all Amazon features such as music and video streaming is available to the Blackberry Playbook; however, in web interface only. Not a native app.

How can you call the browser comparison a draw when the Playbook can play any and all flash content?

That's a fairly dismissive of the Playbook considering you went somewhat in depth on certain Fire browser features (server integration, for example).

@actuis So can the Fire.

[braedon218]

Which one has a wider variety of apps?

[custompcreview]

@braedon218 Currently, Kindle Fire but the Playbook is expected to have access to the Android marketplace next month.

i have a playbook and i love it! but i heard rumours that android is coming to playbookk ! maybe on the OS2...

[custompcreview]

@bernardo0605 Android isn't coming. Android app compatibility is coming and yes, on OS2.

Btw thanks for the comparison.

Also the gesture frame to wake up the blackberry Playbook & browser, close pages& open pages is awesome. Now if you want apps I would say.Kindle for but my phone does that.

I bought the Playbook 200 & galaxy tab 7 plus 300 & returned the galaxy. Screen & audio is awesome. App wrist it's weak. Web browsing the best

I feel like they are far from being similar at all.Maybe in size but that's it.He didn't cover gestures,the ability to play flash,e-reading.Especially now with the 16gb being $200 and the 64gb only $300.And android apps being added to the playbook.when they came out the playbooks were not worth the money.But now they are far better.I remember reading a good quote about them.If you want an e-reader that looks like a tablet,the fire is for you.But if you want a good tablet,the playbook is better.

@Tiffanyheartsbeauty Yes but you do it through the website, I don't think there's an app or a simpler way to do it.
