Small form factor, poor application support
With a plethora of new tablets coming out with the Android operating system, and Apple still dominant in the market, the BlackBerry PlayBook has a mountain to climb. Over extended tests, the tablet has shown many strengths, and a few weaknesses....
Overall the PlayBook is a great bit of kit and a worthy rival in my opinion to the other 7 inch tablets on the market. That said, as it stands at the moment i don't think that a non BlackBerry user will get the most out of the PlayBook. If the PlayBook...
One of the things we love about the BlackBerry PlayBook is the fact that it's among the smaller tablets, with the 7-inch screen making it portable enough to take wherever you go. The compact screen also leads to a light weight, with the 425g body easily light enough to hold comfortably in one hand for long periods of time. Despite having a compact screen, the BlackBerry PlayBook goes one better t
The biggest problem with the BlackBerry PlayBook is a lack of apps. The Apple iPad 2, RIM's biggest rival, features loads of apps specifically designed for the tablet form factor, and the PlayBook really struggles to compete without them.
The BlackBerry PlayBook is a neat, compact and capable tablet. We like it, but sadly that isn't enough, as the lack of apps severely lets it down. Without apps, you'll often find yourself wondering what to do with this tablet – a problem you'd never ha...

What the PlayBook can do, it does very well. We thought this would be the dry middle-aged tablet, but we’ve been impressed by how well it’s been able to handle video, music (through the great 7Digital music store) and the internet browsing experience.B...
Speedy multitasking, Excellent Flash video playback in the browser, Smooth, intuitive user interface, Welldesigned music store
Must be connected to a BlackBerry phone for many key features to work, Video calling only works between PlayBooks, Fewer available apps than on competing platforms
The 7-inch BlackBerry PlayBook tablet has much going for it, including speedy multitasking capability and a zippy, fresh operating system. But we still can't recommend it, unless you're a confirmed CrackBerry addict....
