Blackberry PlayBook Tablet- Work Hard, Play Smart

New Blackberry PlayBook
Blackberry has always been known to revolutionise the way people work and for that matter now play. And once again Blackberry has gone out to prove that with its new PlayBook, which combines all the power packed features with an ultra portable design. The company initially targets its loyal customer base for its first tablet.  The Blackberry PlayBook faces tough competition from Apple’s iPad and various other tablets that are coming into the market.

So, the big question is that with already some worthy tablets in the market do we need to go for this particular one from Blackberry? Well, decide for yourself after reading this. The Blackberry PlayBook has lot of things that go in its favour like a solid hardware, speedy processors and dual camera which is first of its kind but it faces weakness on the software front, it lacks in useful apps which hold the key to a tab’s success and a weak flash player. Though it has powerful 1 GB RAM however, running too many apps at once causes overload and frequent system crash.

PlayBook Tablet
With most of the Tab’s in the market of being around 10”, Blackberry’s PlayBook is most portable with 7” and its screen provides for bright, sharp viewing experience while you are working, playing games or watching movies. The tablet weighs just under a pound.  Dual speakers frame the front on the left and right sides and can possibly be the loudest on a mobile device. They offer rich, full sound. At the top of the PlayBook, within the bezel, is a light sensor and the 3 megapixel front facing camera. The back of the PlayBook is quite sparse, except for the chrome BlackBerry logo in the centre and the 5 megapixel camera at the top centre and the camera is positioned pretty well too. The entire back is coated with the soft-touch rubber that is on the sides of the PlayBook which provides nice grip without showing fingerprints or minor scratches.

When it comes to app or app store, RIM has opted not to offer a handful of core applications that any user would expect to see on a modern mobile OS, especially one as flashy as the BlackBerry Tablet OS. The PlayBook relies on the browser for emailing and social networking. There are shortcuts pre-installed to open Facebook and Twitter in the browser, but there are no native apps for them. RIM has also left out any form of video conferencing to make use of the front-facing camera.

In Conclusion it won’t be wrong to say that PlayBook is not quite ready yet for mainstream and RIM has integrated much and also left out much.
