BlackBerry Playbook Review

BlackBerry Playbook Review

Better known for their business related technology such as the black berry ‘Bold’, ‘Curve’ and the rest. Blackberry has decided to enter a new Tablet market releasing the Blackberry Playbook.

This playbook is Blackberry’s attempt to compete with the IPad2, Galaxy Tablet and the many other tablets that are being released. With some truly stand out features Blackberry are truly out to impress.

Looking firstly at the multitasking feature that has been a hot topic for smart phones and tablets; the Blackberry Playbook appears to nail this one. Unlike the Android and IOs operating systems which claim to enable multitasking but actually pause’s the app in the state it’s in to allow you to access another app. The Blackberry Playbook actually allows multiple apps to run side by side to allow the user to experience a true multitasking effect.

Another great feature seen in the Blackberry Playbook is the full 1080p recording which provides stunning video recordings in full colour and crisp quality. The unit also has a 5 megapixel rear camera and a 3 megapixel front camera to enable video chat or Skype for its users.

The price is actually fairly competitive offering the 16GB for $499, 32GB for $599 and the 64GB for $699.

Coming from a company that specialises in business technologies, this unit is boasts stability. In the case where the user is running several apps if one were to crash the smart QNX OS is able to identify which app is causing the problem and automatically shut it down. Not only does it kill the risk but it reopens it in a more stable state to allow the user to continue using all the desired apps smoothly.
