Blackberry PlayBook Tablet Review
Rather than make the same mistake carriers did with the Motorola XOOM, and Samsung did with the sluggish release of the WiFi-only Galaxy Tab, RIM has kicked things off with WiFi-only PlayBook models that match the entry-level iPad 2. That means $499 for the 16GB PlayBook, $599 for the 32GB and $699 for theBlackBerry Playbook 64Gb.
Relative value is a more difficult proposition. The BlackBerry Playbook 64Gb is obviously smaller than the iPad 2 and XOOM, a positive for those who want a more pocketable tablet but something that can make for a more cramped browsing experience. The enterprise security of keeping key data locked up on a user’s BlackBerry smartphone rather than on the tablet makes sense in some ways, but it also artificially limits the potential audience considerably. Lots of people don’t have a BlackBerry handset but might want a BlackBerry Playbook 64Gb, and right now they’re getting half the software experience out-of-the-box that Android or iOS slates offer.
The fact that the BlackBerry App World store is so sparsely populated, and that BlackBerry app and Android app compatibility is still somewhere on the unspecified horizon, means there are plenty of glaring gaps where other platforms have software choices. RIM may have matched the iPad 2 on price, but it falls well short on functionality.
