The Blackberry PlayBook for the Woman of Today


How many times have you tried to multi task and come up short? Haven’t you despaired at having to put on your reading glasses to read the fine print on your mobile phone screen? Are you longing to read an eBook while on the move, without having to lug around a heavy book or stuff a magazine in your overflowing hand band? Well, a solution to all these problems is to buy BlackBerry PlayBook.
You already have a BlackBerry Smartphone and have read reviews of the latest tablet that BlackBerry has introduced in the market called the BlackBerry PlayBook. You decide to read up on a review on the BlackBerry website about their latest product. Surprised at the speed offered by their 1 GHz dual core processor and 1 GB RAM, you decide to check out the storage space capacity. Again you are pleasantly surprised to know that the BlackBerry PlayBook comes in storage capacities of 16, 32, 60 GB, and you can choose what is most suitable to you. Yes, large storage helps for all office documents and presentations that have to be always on call, wherever you are. The facility of being able to stream you tube videos without buffering is a real relief. The in-built speakers with stereo sound are a real boon, especially when you don’t fancy having to stick those tiny earplugs into your ears, which also cuts out all other sounds. Not helpful at all when you have to keep an ear out for the baby crying.
The BlackBerry compatible software allows for integration with the BlackBerry phone. The data plan that you already subscribe too is compatible with the PlayBook. Wi-Fi connectivity helps to access the internet wherever you are. With 3G, accessibility connectivity speeds will be much faster especially for downloading movies and videos, or even sending photographs across to friends and family. The two cameras also ensure that picture clicking will be easy.
You decide to check out these features in a store near you. The salesperson tells you before you even start asking questions that purchasing the BlackBerry PlayBook will allow you to enjoy ninety days technical support at no additional cost. This sure is a relief since getting the hang of all the apps could take a while if one had to figure it out on one’s own.
BlackBerry PlayBook accessories are also available at the store. Apart from the case, the most important was the data cable which would allow transference of data from the phone to the PlayBook.

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.

Could the current woes with the Blackberry PlayBook be an elaborate ploy to blindside the competition?


Why they named a serious gadget the PlayBook and then went out to launch it for the masses without great fanfare has us wondering. Most people in the technology world are wondering how great BlackBerry will do in the tablet market. If BlackBerry PlayBook was trying to challenge the Apple iPad, they did an unimpressive job of it, so unimpressive Sprint cancelled its deal months after the great launch because the sales weren’t as convincing, or maybe because most people who aren’t Blackberry users failed to see why they should buy a tablet that needed to have another BlackBerry device to access your e-mails because you might not be in a Wi-Fi hotspot. Most people think it was a case of bad marketing, some people think it was just bad timing, but how bad is the playbook to make it so hotly debated.
RIM introduced operating software unlike any other in the Smartphone market. The QNX, for example, developed features like bridging the tablet to another BlackBerry to ensure security of your e-mails. As confusing as that is, it’s almost like RIM wasn’t really trying to capture a new market of people who had never used BlackBerry, but had their sights set on the existing customers. The question that begs to be answered is why Wi-Fi? This and more questions have been asked about the design of the Playbook, and where the company was trying to make its mark.
There’s a lot that can be said that is good about the BlackBerry PlayBook accessories. It is smaller at 7-inches and weighing only 425g, sleeker, has a fast processor, and the front and rear-camera feature is a nice touch. The screen resolution is the best in the market, and the spreadsheet and word-processing viewing ability is particularly useful for business people. For serious multi-taskers, it is a great tool to have. You can play a game watch a video, and look at excel sheets all the same time with all applications working at the same time, also.
There is one great gripe that people have; the lack of third-party applications. The Playbook as it’s presented looks like a work in progress, but a work in progress that is undoubtedly not helping the company to move forward and claim a worthy spot in the tablet wars (as they are now referred to). Apple is sitting pretty at the top, even the Samsung Galaxy tab has been lauded as a great tablet when compared to the PlayBook. Maybe when they named it, they had something in mind like a sports PlayBook, which is only a guide to how a team plays but is adaptable once in play. Maybe by the time this game is over we will see some spectacular plays that might just put BlackBerry’s PlayBook in the lead. Buy BlackBerry PlayBook today.

Introducing the BlackBerry PlayBook



The PlayBook is the newest product to be launched by RIM. It focuses specifically on business customers. It seems to be a direct alternative to Apple’s iPad. It runs on a 1GHz dual-core processor, comes with storages that range from 16GB to 64GB, a 7-inch display, and a dual 1080p High Definition camera for video capturing and conferencing. The PlayBook was launched with Wi-Fi capabilities.

On its launch day 50,000 BlackBerry PlayBook tablets were sold. In addition, shipments of up to 500,000 were being planned to BlackBerry Singapore, BlackBerry UK, and other BlackBerry signature stores worldwide. That is still a long way from Apple’s iPad, which entered the tablet market and conquered it. To date, Apple has sold over 25 million units since its launch. Even though Research in Motion has made its way into over 101 countries, the Playbook made its debut in 16 Countries spread across Europe, Asia, North, and South America, and still has to make its way to other shores. The launch strategy was shoddily planned, so Apple conquered the world in a matter of days and BlackBerry’s PlayBook seems to be inching its way to more places. It is clear that RIM needs to put more effort into their innovation strategy. For a company that came into the market with a virtually unknown kind of handset, at a time when people were unsure of how far technology would go, they should have been the ones leading the innovation pack, not trying to catch up.

It has a long way to go with Nokia fast on its heels and Apple leading it by millions of miles. This innovative company is floundering amidst the fast competition hitting it from all sides. They are partnering with various companies to make more services and applications available to users of a BlackBerry Smartphone. Now all Blackberry users can download paid-for applications along with their mobile subscriptions. It still remains a safer phone to use for business transactions and for that, it will never lose its popularity.

This is disheartening because already there is news of Research in Motion releasing two more versions of the PlayBook in 2011. This has more to do with the fact that the first tablet released was only Wi-Fi compatible and would not work so well in most other countries where Wi-Fi is a bit of a problem. The biggest hurdle that most products have to deal with is shipping and being compatible with the mobile network in the countries in which they are being sold. With shipping set for the middle of the year, it might be a while until the market feels the arrival of the tablet, or worse, it could just vanish into oblivion, thus making it much more difficult to buy BlackBerry.
