The BlackBerry PlayBook – how is it different from other tablets?


Design: Measuring five-inches tall, 7.5 inches wide, and a slim 0.4 inches thick and weighing just 0.9 pounds, the BlackBerry PlayBook is the latest entrant in the tablets segment. It is handheld and can easily slip into a pocket or handbag.

Operating System: Research in Motion has commissioned QNX software systems to develop the operating system which allows languages like Java, and C. which allows support for 3D games and development of applications using the latest, as well as providing a platform for future technologies. The operating system supports the BlackBerry Enterprise Server, which allows integration of the tablet with the BlackBerry Smartphone. Combined with the 1 GHZ dual core processor, supported by 1 GB RAM, the BlackBerry PlayBook is a powerhouse juggling multimedia, apps, and internet browsing at commendable speeds. Operating systems used in other tablets make the use of apps slow and tedious. Buy BlackBerry PlayBook just for the operating system and processor functionality.

Features: A high-resolution touch screen affords easy intuitive navigation. The widgets are not crowded and are spaced in a user friendly way. Categorized as Browser, Pictures, Music, Camera, App. World, and Videos, the screen affords quick maneuverability by gliding the fingers across it. The 3 megapixels front camera (can also be used for video chat) and the 5 megapixels in the rear camera makes taking pictures easy and fun. The apps incorporate Blackberry software. They are compatible with the phone too, and can be used interchangeably; that is, once opened on the phone, the app can be viewed on a larger screen on the tablet. BlackBerry expects to allow Android compatible apps to be used along with its own apps. The inbuilt Wi-Fi and blue tooth support enhances the features of the PlayBook. The stereo speakers and compatibility with the popular music file formats, make listening to music and audio formats a pleasurable experience.

Accessories: BlackBerry PlayBook accessories have been simultaneously introduced in the market to give it an edge over other tablets being sold. From sober leather cases to neon colored covers there is a fascinating array of covers from which to choose. The BlackBerry PlayBook comes with a gel case that protects it from strong impact and the vagaries of weather, dust and dirt. This gel case is very useful if your PlayBook is rough handled or brought on the road. Straps or keychain patterns are also sold so that the PlayBook can be swung safely! Get a stand if movies or videos are to be viewed without having to hold it in your hands. It is very convenient when friends crowd around to view photos.
