One of the things we love about the BlackBerry PlayBook is the fact that it's among the smaller tablets
With the 7-inch screen making it portable enough to take wherever you go. The compact screen also leads to a light weight
With the 425g body easily light enough to hold comfortably in one hand for long periods of time. Despite having a compact screen
The BlackBerry PlayBook goes one better t

Must be connected to a BlackBerry phone for many key features to work
Video calling only works between PlayBooks
Fewer available apps than on competing platforms
Hardly any worthwhile apps
Confusing bridge to phone
No email client
Smaller screen
The biggest problem with the BlackBerry PlayBook is a lack of apps. The Apple iPad 2
RIM's biggest rival
Features loads of apps specifically designed for the tablet form factor
And the PlayBook really struggles to compete without them.

No email
Not many apps available
There's a lack of apps at BlackBerry App World compared with the likes of Apple and Android's app stores. The WiFionly net connection may deter some

BlackBerry Bridge still required for access to BlackBerry Messenger
Solid hardware and build quality, Superb e-mail functionality and social networking integration, Easy-to-use interface with touch-sensitive bezels, Fully functional without a BlackBerry smartphone to tether, Good speakers on each side for watching video,
Still no expandable storage, OS can be finicky at times, No native third-party integration, Official apps from A-list third-party developers are missing
One of the most important features of the PlayBook is its ability to seamlessly integrate with a BlackBerry smartphone, but unfortunately, we did not have a device on hand to test this functionality. RIM has managed to fix the Bridge issue since we last r...

Abstract: 659Pros: Good battery life; good number of ports and buttons.Cons: Medium performance; no biometrics. We liked that the ThinkPad had 64G of hard drive space. Its 1G of memory was the average amount for those we looked at this time around, so that is ...
Strong, fast performance, Gorgeous screen, Low price, Highly integrated e-mail and social-media apps, Pleasant to use
Still no BBM or Enterprise Server support, Android apps are hit-or-miss, No memory-card slot
A huge price drop and revised OS make RIM's tablet much more appealing to consumers than the first version. (Business users still need to use their BlackBerry phones in concert with it for some functions.) Read More...

Handy size, Stable case, Brilliant colors / good contrast, Bright TFT for outdoors, HDMI video out, Long battery life, Operating concept
Only 12 month manufacturer warranty, Time Out can't be disabled, No virtual environment for Android apps, No email client, No SD card slot
The BlackBerry PlayBook looks like an alien at first glance. While Android is becoming very fashionable at the moment and the apps for it are emerging fast, RIM's tablet is on the shelves with the proprietary operating system, BlackBerry Tablet OS 1.0.The...

After having spent plenty of time with the updated PlayBook, there's lots to like, and plenty to not. RIM has made improvements with the software. I can take this with me when I head out the door. I don't do the same with the iPad 2 or the Transformer. ...

BlackBerry's PlayBook is an unusual entry into the tablet market. Its matte plastic and blocky design makes it clear this tablet isn't designed to compete with others on by wowing consumers with its must-have aesthetics.That would be fine – preferable, ev...
