Description

RIM BlackBerry 4G PlayBook is the LTE enabled version of the BlackBerry PlayBook which is introduced as the first "professional tablet" keeping with the BlackBerry's heavy usage in the business world. The specs are hot enough to interest both consumers and business users. The PlayBook features a 7 inch capacitive LCD display with resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels. Instead of the new BlackBerry 6 OS, a new tablet version of the BlackBerry software devised by the QNX is running the show. The tablet will have some power under the hood with a 1.5GHz dual-core processor and 1GB of RAM on board. There are two cameras. The front facing shooter is 3MP with a 5MP on back. The WebKit browser will allow for HTML-5 and Adobe Flash Player 10.1.

Phone owned for less than 3 months

I was a bit hesitant at first, since a lot of people would only consider an iPad, but I am really happy I chose the Playbook. Firstly, the UI is really smooth and easy to use, the tablet is extremely well-built with a beautiful screen, and it surfs the internet, plays videos, and goes through emails perfectly.

My friend also tested out the Blackberry and Playbook connection functionality and that was pretty cool. Basically instantaneously beamed photos from the Blackberry to my Playbook and vice versa.

The micro-USB and micro-HDMI connectivity is an added bonus, as I like seeing stuff on my giant monitor.

The camera isn't perfect, as it could have a few more megapixels, but it still works great, easy to use, fast, and good quality photos.
