First and foremost, we need to commend RIM for crafting such a premium tablet while retaining that oh so firm pricing structure that’s increasingly appearing to be the golden mark at this point. Picking it up, there’s no arguing that RIM placed a lot...

RIM has been big on calling the BlackBerry PlayBook an uncompromised web experience, but honestly, the millisecond you put a browser on a seven-inch screen and make people use their fat fingers to navigate, it's already compromised. It almost feels like R...

Excellent user interface. Sharp, beautiful screen. Topnotch browser with full Flashvideo 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 email support at launch—only browser bookmarks for Webmail sites. Bridge support for BlackBerry phone sync is not yet finalized. No video chat despite frontfacing camera.

RIM's BlackBerry PlayBook is a fast, powerful 7-inch tablet with HDMI output, advanced multitasking and security, and a browser that integrates Adobe Flash 10.2 for a desktop-style Web experience

The BlackBerry PlayBook ably showcases RIM's powerful new mobile operating system, but its middling size diminishes many of its best features.
