At long last, RIM and BlackBerry are getting into the tablet game to take on the likes of Android's Motorola Xoom and Samsung Galaxy Tab (for starters) and, of course, the iPad. The PlayBook falls into the 7-inch category, and it packs a lot of power into that small space.
So how will the BlackBerry Playbook stand up to the likes of the Xoom et al? We'll have to see when it goes on sale on April 17 at a starting price of $499. But reviews are starting to roll in, and we look no further than ol' CrackBerry Kevin Michaluk himself, who leads off with the following:
"With solid hardware specs, an operating system that utilizes a gesture-based user interface to deliver true multitasking capabilities and a web browser that supports Adobe Flash, on paper the PlayBook appears to have the raw talent to be a contender."
And don't forget about the PlayBook's untested coup de grace: It will eventually be able to run Android applications, folks.
We're going to spend the next few hours poring over CrackBerry's PlayBook review, that's for sure. And we suggest you do, too. Keep your enemies close, and your frenemies closer, they say. Here are some links to get you started:
