You are sure to gain entertainment and business needs under one roof from this Playbook only and nowhere else.

Let us peep into the design and features of the Tablet PC,

Design:

The tablet is ultraportable that comes with the convenience of easy to carry as it is sleek, slim and elegant in design. The dimensions are height × Width × Depth × Weight, 5.1” × 7.6” × 0.4” ×0.9 pounds respectively. The device comes only in one color of luxury, which is the color of elephant, black.

Features:

Blackberry Playbook will include a 7” LCD touchscreen display that sports a highly powerful computing power backed up 1 GHz dual core processor and a 1 GB RAM that supports multitasking.

The full Adobe Flash 10.1, built-in HTML5 support will support web browsing experience like that of your PC. The high speed connectivity solutions that the tablet can reproduce has been credited to 3G and 4G network accessibility, while the former runs on BB smartphone OS and the later on the 4G playbook OS. Other connectivity solutions will include the Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n and a Bluetooth 2.1 EDR.

Apart from this the tablet has a front facing 3MP camera for video calling and a rear facing 5 Mp camera with the necessary software to support an excellent video capturing at 1080p HD quality or pixel resolution.

BlackBerry Enterprise Server is the built-in software that enables corporate access and is meant for business operations efficiently. Otherwise, the OS of the tablet is meant for making the tablet powerful, user-friendly and is built on QNX technology, which is the secret behind the accessibility for multi-tasking.

Some of the other applications that have been introduced are the exclusive brands of rapid development support to POSIX OS, SMP, Open GL, BlackBerry 6, WebKit, Adobe Flash, Java and Adobe Mobile AIR. It has the following output ports like H.264, MPEG4, WMV HDMI video output ports, micro USB and micro HDMI ports with a fully-fledged multi-touch capacitive screen.

Review:

There are a number of goodies in this Playbook that helps with your wireless connectivity solutions like the real time accessibility to emails, calendars, address book, task list and BBM, in short, your personalized organizers that which is connected continuously with the internet and keeps you updated online too.

The multitasking accessibility on the BlackBerry OS makes this tablet convenient to do many tasks simultaneously and access information concurrently. This feature, in addition to the corporate access is a real gift to corporate sectors that will help you gain immense access of taking your office wherever you go.

To support the entertainment phone is the video conferencing accessibility that will produce crystal clear and sharp image outputs, backed with rich stereo sound and dual HD video cameras for recording high quality videos.

What is not good is the size of the tablet and it lags behind with the competing tablets in capturing videos in various shapes and angles, and is a difficult task to achieve as well.

Overall, the Blackberry playbook will receive a big welcome from the customers, despite this too cannot surpass the size limitations like other tablet PCs, but is well compromised with a better browsing experience that you have been receiving earlier. Yet another problem that is faced by the Blackberry Playbook is the amount of battery consumption that you will find it hard to work when not in connection, and with time, you will be finding the quality of the battery wears out sooner than before you think. An enhanced battery life comes with a cost of not being ecofriendly, which of course, will not miss the eyes of the environmentalists.

TechPerk Tagline:

Ultimately, in one sentence this seems to be one of the promising and will be a tough competitor for all the tablets out in the market and could be tagged as an all-in-one entertainment, gaming and business tablet that will keep you on the go!
