To say that RIM's BlackBerry PlayBook has been a sore spot for the company would be an understatement. In our initial review, we chided the PlayBook's lack of basic features, such as a native email client, as well as its buggy software. And we weren't alone.

I simply asked with so many customers on their forum wanting the unlimited timeout why the company does not simply add it but one response was that the company is concerned about screen burn in which was the only answer that made even a lick of sense.

Cons: Limited in applications, Poor software compatibility Slow and very weak processing Awkward operation Pros: Price Point Secure We have a blackberry playbook and a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0" In comparison, the Galaxy Tab 2 is easily 5 times the unit (not kidding) Of course it's newer with better

Playbook is the first tablet launched by BlackBerry. I was very excited for it, but after purchasing and using it, ut was very disappointed by it. It has good design and the built quality but I lacks in features.

Going through the BlackBerry PlayBook Review, one can understand that BB has lived up to the expectation of offering the consumers with an advanced and latest tablet PC. Light, stylish and powerful, PlayBook makes a good choice for tech-freak generation.

No useful apps. Nothing like with Android and Apple provides. If you're just using this for web browsing, then it's fine. Other than that, it's got nothing else. No good games to play or useful apps to download that's why I returned it.

Fast; that's about it

no apps

No microSD slot; Missing dedicated PIM apps; Small Power button

The words "play" and "book" are a bit of an odd choice for RIM's latest attempt at consumer relevance, a tablet that, at its core, runs one of the most hardcore and industry-friendly operating systems known to man. The OS is QNX and the hardware is, of course, the BlackBerry PlayBook.
