It was quite a long time coming, but after 1.5 years the BlackBerry PlayBook 4G LTE tablet finally got released to the market. It doesn't differ much from its non-4G LTE-enabled counterpart but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Best screen for a 7 inch, never seen one better yet. Best sound, with two real FRONT speakers for stereo (Ipad: crappy mono) Easy to use, factory loaded with all you could need to watch movies, listen music, surf, email, work. Many free games on the appstore.

A nice little tablet that manages websites better and faster than any tablet I've tested, including ipad2 and several androidplattor. Bought it mainly for the media player, but find myself using it more and more for everyday surfing too. The screen is good but not the best on the market.

With its business focus, RIM could well be onto a tablet winner with the Blackberry Playbook -- bring on the apps.

This tablet malarkey is really taking off isn't it? Anyone who's anyone is getting involved with increasingly mixed results. The latest to make a splash in this convergence pond is RIM, which is surprising in itself as it's a manufacturer who has never been known for its innovation, but has rather...

Great at multitasking; with an intuitive; gorgeous-looking display; it?s also dinky enough to fit comfortably into any average size bag

The BlackBerry App World is lacking in apps when compared to Apple and Android?s offerings; The fact you can only get online via Wi-Fi may put off some

While Android and iOS are the big movers of late, BlackBerry is a key player. The company's first tablet looks to build on its impressive, smartphone-based reputation.

When BlackBerry released the original PlayBook it had some curious issues. Native email, contacts and calendar apps were missing, the app store was barren, and the price matched the iPad at £399.

Well, everyone's jumping on the tablet bandwagon now aren't they - some being more successful than others. The latest company to take a leap into the pond of convergence is RIM - quite a surprise as it's never been big on innovation, preferring instead to stick to its tried and tested devices.

Excellent multitasking; intuitive; vibrant screen; it's also small enough to fit easily into your average bag

There's a lack of apps at BlackBerry App World compared with the likes of Apple and Android's app stores; The Wi-Fi-only net connection may deter some
