The new blackberry playbook has definitely soared high on user’s excitement and expectation. Its newly released product has brought the market the indisputable choice of users including the raised eyebrows if it’s really worth the swap from the already established competitors. But can the new blackberry tablet kick off the leading Apple and Android technology on the market’s stiff competition? The Blackberry Playbook can be purchased from online retailers as well as from network operators which offer free tablet PC deals. They are currently available from Vodafone and Orange.

Playbook Design

The RIM’s new Blackberry PlayBook will be surely loved by techno buddies who prefer to have a portable gadget with its remarkable 1024 x 600 pixels 7-inch clear screen size packed with fascinating touch sensitivity. The resolution is quite perfect for its size plus it has a very detailed and rich color depth making it great when it comes to viewing photos or videos. With a 425g weight, it’s surely captivating to hold this product, which is embellished with a thin sophisticated gun metal frame surrounding its entire display.

Maximum Performance

The most shocking thing about this playbook is that it extraordinarily wrapped up everything in a super-sleek 10mm-thin featuring a QNX operating system with powerful 1GHz dual-core processor, a massive RAM of 1GB, a 5-megapixel rear camera and a 3-megapixel front-facing camera with autofocus that can record a 1080p Full HD video but both without flash, Bluetooth, a fast-connecting WI-FI, USB, 1080p HD video playback with an HDMI-out port that is TV compatible, a headset jack that is 3.5mmm, a microphone and its speakers are practically one of the clearest and loudest speakers ever bundled in a tablet.

No 3G Support is a Disadvantage

Unfortunately, playbook doesn’t have a 3G support, so the WIFI is solely the way to connect to the net. Good thing is that you can connect it wirelessly to your blackberry smartphone through the BlackBerry Bridge that can let you access your emails, contacts or messenger and etc. Those looking a contract type of deals available similar to free laptop deals will be disappointed due to the lack of 3G support.

Easy Navigation with Multi-touch

Though if you’re not a previous Blackberry user, you may find this PlayBook a bit difficult to navigate since it supports a 4-finger multi-touch zooming the flicking up and down, left and right. Navigation can get even complicated at times due to its multi-touch functions but once you already get the hook of it, it certainly going to be much prettier to navigate.
Web browsing is the main spotlight of playbook. Its enthralling screen is just enough to display in full size web pages and can resize simply each pages making it accessible to adjust. The BBC iPlayer installed plays well and a Flash 10.1 and HTML5 with full support where you can enjoy playing flash games and perfectly browse YouTube videos. But despite the powerful pace of playbook especially when using its user interface accompanied with stutter-free video playback and an attractive transition between its apps, there’s apparent lag when you rotate portraits in landscape modes.
The battery life is OK since it is similar to other tablets where you can manage up to 1 to 2 days between charges depending on your usage.

Conclusion Not Yet a Leader in Tablet Devices

 

Clearly, BlackBerry has offered a reliable multi-functional device but very poor when compared with the iPad2. It’s truly an excellent deal for an existing Blackberry user but not good as a consumer tablet for the mass market. And if you opt to have a professional like photos, then this playbook is not for you.

Apple has release many new functions on the new iPhone 4s one of the most advertised is the voice assistant known as Siri. It won’t entirely substitute all commands on the iPhone but can manage many things that you do daily without the need to touch the screen. Siri currently has a women’s voice which is not possible to change to another voice. I am sure that in time Apple will allow other voices to be used. In order to use Siri the iPhone must be connected to the internet. You voice command is sent up to the Apples servers and a response is sent back, some of which can be very amusing. In order for Siri to understand your voice it is recommended that you are in a quiet room although Apple does use some noise cancellation hardware on the iPhone 4s.

iOS 5 with iCloud and iMessages

The new updates OS now comes with the iOS 5 system. Apple allows the synchronization of your photos, messages and documents across all your iOS devices with a new feature called iCloud.

Better Camera Support

The camera has also been revamped and now supports two cameras; one at front and one at the rear. The quality of the camera is 8 megapixels and allows for high resolution images and capturing HD movies. Movies are recorded at 1080 and can be viewed with much clarity on HD TVs. The video recording also boosts video stabilization for those with jittery hands. With Face time video calling feature already available the front facing camera can be used for video conversations. The built in camera can now be accessed when the iPhone is locked. Although it won’t replace a dedicated camera it does do a good job.

iPhone 4s a Compelling Purchase

There are many compelling reasons to buy an iPhone 4s one of which is Siri which also allows voice dictation and voice commands. Apple has also adds hundreds of new features in the iOS update to add more features into their phones.
