The BlackBerry PlayBook Review

The BlackBerry PlayBook Review.The BlackBerry PlayBook Review, the latest tablet computer hoping to knock the Apple iPad from its lofty perch. But what have the reviewers said about it since its US release in April?

The BlackBerry PlayBook is a high-fiving, chest-bumping tablet with a name inspired by American football and a background in business. Its good looks and speed may tempt you, but unless you're a BlackBerry fanatic -- or forced to be one by your IT department -- we think its high-security system is more trouble than it's worth.

The 7-inch PlayBook costs £399 for the version with 16GB of storage, £479 for the 32GB model, and £559 for the 64GB device. There isn't a 3G version of the PlayBook.
The PlayBook costs exactly the same price as the equivalent iPad 2. Considering the iPad 2 has a larger, 9.7-inch screen, the PlayBook's price seems a mite high. Still, it's less expensive than the HTC Flyer, which also has a 7-inch screen, and costs £480 for the 16GB model and £600 for the 32GB version. The Flyer does, however, include 3G connectivity.
