The 7-inch Blackberry Playbook is the latest tablet to generate enthusiasm and intrigue. It offers a bunch of cool features, and EA has already announced that their two titles, Tetris and Need for Speed: Undercover will be pre-loaded on the device, which still lacks a release date.
One of the advantages the Blackberry Playbook has over other Tablets is its prowess at multi-tasking; hands-on trials have demonstrated the gadget’s ability to handle the execution of multiple applications without impaired performance.
The Blackberry Playbook will also include a document-editing program through Docs to Go. Through this program, users will be able to receive documents through email, make any necessary edits, and use the tablet to present the completed report to business clients (or whomever).
The Blackberry Playbook uses a 1 GHz dual-core processor, and has only 1 GB of internal memory (although this can be supplemented through the included microSD card slot). It also comes with two cameras; one is the main 5 MP camera and the other is 3 MP front-facing cam. The tablet will also support 1080i video playback. Another cool feature that the Blackberry Playbook supports is known as the Blackberry Bridge. The Bridge ensures that the security of data is never compromised through the secure Bluetooth connection that it provides, linking tablet to smartphone.
One distinction between the Blackberry Playbook and other tablets, like Apple’s iPad is that the Playbook is capable of transporting apps written in the ADOBE Air format from one platform to another in mere hours (where doing this on the iPad would take much longer). Blackberry has also stated that it ensured that all aspects of the Blackberry Playbook were up to par in meeting the “fundamental of the BBM messaging platform and the Blackberry Experience.”
Other neat specs included in the Playbook are the Micro USB and HDMI ports, dual HD video cams, built-in support for Adobe Flash, Java, and Adobe Mobile Air (amongst others). While a thorough investigation remains to be conducted on the Playbook, at a glance it appears to be a sound tablet that has a lot of promise.
