BlackBerry PlayBook


RIM enters the tablet scene with the seven-inch BlackBerry PlayBook, which marks a handful of firsts. For the venerable mobile maker, the PlayBook is its first tablet, and it is also arguably the first BlackBerry product marketed for its consumer appeal. I’ve had RIM reps tell me that the PlayBook could be the first BlackBerry product many consumers own.

The PlayBook is also the first tablet running RIM’s new BlackBerry Tablet OS, which is based on QNX Neutrino (found in embedded applications, including in-car systems and the international space station). It is designed to be especially flexible and handle true multitasking.

Finally, it’s the first major, touch-based mobile tablet to contend with both Google Android and Apple iOS while also trying to elbow in on the Windows 7 slates currently targeting the enterprise.

Google, with its hardware partners, and Apple have spent the last year polishing and perfecting their tablet offerings, RIM is just getting started with its. Does the PlayBook contend out of the gate? Or is this first-generation tablet no good?
