Occasionally glitchy softwareMissing appsExpensive for a seven-incher
Writing this review has been a lot like trying to hit a moving target thanks to a series of software updates that have been dropping every few days. The PlayBook of today is considerably better than the PlayBook of yesterday, which also was a big step for...
Good multitasking power, Sleek and solid design, Crisp 7-inch display, Captures high-quality 1080p video, Powerful speakers
Need BlackBerry phone to get native e-mail, calendar apps, Buggy software, low-on-memory messages, Lackluster apps, No video chat option yet, Android Player coming later
It's not really a matter of too little, too late with the BlackBery PlayBook. If anything, RIM's first tablet feels as if it was rushed to market. The PlayBook has a well-designed interface and plenty of power under the hood for serious multitasking. T...
Excellent user interface. Sharp, beautiful screen. Top-notch browser with full Flash-video support. Wirelessly transfers files to and from computers on same network. Internet tethering with Blackberry phones works well—and it's free.
Some hardware issues and significant software bugs. No native e-mail support at launch—only browser bookmarks for Webmail sites. Bridge support for BlackBerry phone sync is not yet finalized. No video chat despite front-facing camera.
When RIM pushes out the updates to make the BlackBerry PlayBook a better tablet for e-mail, video chat, and productivity, we'll revisit this rating. For now, though, it's outmatched by competitors with more versatile and complete feature sets. ...
Sharp display has vivid, accurate colors, High-definition video playback impresses, Light weight makes this conducive to hold in hand
Initial software is buggy and lacks polish, No integrated e-mail, contacts, or calendaring, Awkwardly designed onscreen keyboard
The BlackBerry PlayBook gets a lot right, but it also feels very much like a work in progress. It could shine in the future, but for now it's constrained by its limited app selection, software glitches, and choices in functionality or design that shou...
Sexy design appeals to the Mies in you. Media is a joy with a brilliant display, great sound and an HDMI output. Two cameras: one on the front, a better one on the back. Supports tethering to BlackBerry phones. Comes with officeproductivity apps that can read and edit MS Office files. App multitasking is innovative and intuitive. Runs Flash, sorta,
RIM’s WebKitbased browser is about as stable as your bipolar uncle. No native email, calendar or contacts apps. App ecosystem is lacking. You’ll need to install a driver before you can connect it to your PC or Mac. Runs Flash, sorta.
The PlayBook is a very solid product, from the hardware to brand new operating system, I love where RIM is going.The company is entering a brand new space, and I can’t wait to see future versions of the PlayBook and even smartphones that will eventuall...

Abstract: No, it's not bad, like you expected it to be.The BlackBerry PlayBook isn't just the third major tablet platform to launch, or the first one to deeply poke at figuring out why 7-inch tablets should exist—it's literally the future of BlackBerry, since the Q...
Abstract: The Playbook has a stylish design, feels well made and is nice and light. It's small with its 7-inch LCD screen and seems smaller than Samsung's Galaxy Tab, though that is also a 7-inch tablet. The Blackberry tablet device is easy to hold with one ha...
Abstract: Because it's a BlackBerry at heart, the tablet could find favor with feds Welcome to a new feature from the GCN Lab. Each month, we’ll search for a product that we believe deserves special attention from government tech managers and workers. It might ...
