BlackBerry Tablets, A Step Above The Competition

Although both online product reviewers and Internet bloggers have all bewailed and purposely highlighted the BlackBerry PlayBook’s lack of native e-mail capabilities, this device will actually place its users ahead of those who have elected to use their competitors’ tablets. This is the case for two reasons. First of all, as it stands right now the only way BlackBerry PlayBook users can have access to standard BlackBerry contacts and e-mail is to use the BlackBerry Bridge software to interface with their BlackBerry smart phone. However, this is not the detriment of everybody believes it to be. BlackBerry PlayBook contacts is a far better contact management system then any of RIM’s competitors’ systems. For example, other companies’ Smart tablets automatically save any company’s or people that users have recently contacted directly in the address book. This makes non- BlackBerry contact systems unwieldy and even cumbersome. On the other hand , the PlayBook’s content management system is linked directly to a compatible smart phone, and only saves contact information for individuals listed in the phone's own address book. This may appear to be quite troublesome, because of the redundancy. However, despite its shortcomings, the PlayBook’s contact system is far easier to manage and to use as well.
Secondly, while many competitors have attempted to increase their product’s multitasking capabilities, only RIM has succeeded in this endeavor. There are two problems with their competitors’ multitasking software. First of all, some other Smart tablets lack the processing power needed for multiple applications to remain open simultaneously. Still others have created processes that are more than capable of doing this, but any application that is not currently being used fades into the background. This means that the user is required to manipulate their touch screen to navigate between open applications. Such frivolous activity is a waste of time and energy. BlackBerry users need not engage in these navigation activities that are required to operate other Smart tablets. Instead, the PlayBook allows users to open multiple simultaneously, by using software that behaves similarly to the “ALT + TAB” function used by most personal computers. This allows the user to freely listen to music while remaining productive, or entertain themselves with the wide variety of games available through BlackBerry apps. In conclusion, if you wish to avoid the pitfalls inherent in the other 4G tablets, then I suggest that you buy BlackBerry PlayBook, and remain a step above the competition.
