PlayBook...

[Point.IT]

When I first heard about this tablet and its name the first thing that came into my mind was Playboy. Playboy book The second thing that came to mind was a children's colouring book. If you're creating a professional, high-end tablet with business in mind, for the love of God, give a serious, dignified name! If that's even the case, as it's also marketing itself as a 'hardcore gaming device'. BlackBerry making a handheld games console is like BMW bringing out a range of kettles. Destroys the brand images and has no relevance whatsoever to what they do best.

That said, it still promises to be an awsome tablet. *holds thumbs*

Ja well, the IPad aint exaclty the best name either. Every time a client asks me for a micro sim I am tempted to ask if his pad is:

1. Light Flow
2. Medium Flow
3. Heavy Flow

I am still in two minds on whether its more a toy or a work-tablet.

My friend will be getting his playbook soon and to make me jealous and all he will be sending me the box. Recommended Retail price will probably be $500 U should check his video review on youtube, I am definitely going to get my hands on the playbook when it comes out....

1 - can't be used with a sim card only wifi for now
2 - can't use BES
3 - can't store anything on the device, except media, you want email, you need to pair with ur BB.
4 - no flash with camera.
5 - Playbook without a BB handset = Ipod.
Its playful, but not for the SA market for now. Ipad still wins for 2011 Galaxy Tab 2nd, Playbook 3rd.
