As a device meant for portability, the 7" PlayBook is a much better size than the 9.7" iPad 2 or the 10.1" Motorola Xoom. It can fit easily into a small bag or suit jacket pocket, and weighs six ounces less than an iPad 2 (0.9 lbs versus 1.33 lbs). The BlackBerry PlayBook is also very comfortable to hold. The small size and light weight make it mor...
The BlackBerry PlayBook's display is reasonably bright, with rich colors. It actually offers the same 1024x600 resolution as the Apple iPad 2, even though it's only 7", which provides for sharp text and plenty of detail in images. There is also and HDMI-out so you can display the PlayBook's movies on your big screen TV in full 1080p. Audio from the...
With a dual core processor and full Flash capabilities, the BlackBerry PlayBook browser comes close to equaling the desktop experience. The PlayBook supports tabbed browsing, though switching between open windows requires two steps—similar to the iPad, but not as convenient as the row of open tabs on the Motorola Xoom. The PlayBook only comes in a ...
Tablets are usually too big to be useful as cameras, but at 7", the PlayBook isn't terrible. And the built-in 5MP rear-facing and 3MP front-facing cameras are actually quite good, especially when compared to the iPad 2's horrendous .69 MP rear-facing camera and .33 MP camera in front. Photos from the PlayBook had accurate colors and proper saturati...
Navigation on the BlackBerry PlayBook is intuitive and well thought out. The black bezel around the display, rather than just taking up space, is actually integrated into the navigation process, allowing you to bring up the notification bar, switch apps, get to the home screen or open settings with just a swipe. The homescreen consists of three sec...
What would a tablet be without apps? Well, in the case of the BlackBerry PlayBook, that question is answered. There are so few apps of note available for the PlayBook that it seems more like a prototype than something ready for public launch. The biggest hole is the lack of an app to manage email, calendar and contacts on your PlayBook. Instead, yo...
The BlackBerry PlayBook comes in 16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB models. The PlayBook does not offer an SD card slot.
BlackBerry PlayBook battery life is pretty good, but not up to iPad 2 standards. Engadgetreports 7 hours of movie playing for the PlayBook versus 10.5 for the iPad 2 and 8.3 for the Motorola Xoom.

The BlackBerry PlayBook has a lot going for it in the hardware department. The 7" size is much more portable than the 10" iPad 2 and Xoom. And its interface is more polished than the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7" running Android 2.3. Unfortunately, there are too many holes in the app department, in areas that are central to the role a tablet plays. Chief a...

Apr 28, 2011 · The BlackBerry Playbook looks like a small, sturdy, rectangular block of plastic and it feels nice, with the same rubberized plastic back as the Xoom.
