Size matters. If you wanted it to be portable, then 7" is preffereale but tbh it's not that much bigger than a 4" touchscreen phone. 10" is the only way to go IMO.

But that's what I use it for. Some people need that functionality but portable. So HTC Flyer or playbook IMO.


Fanboyism is all over this place.

megavideo runs on flash, if you watch movies online m.v is the best streaming site to use. i remember reading shit like the sd card doesnt work on the blackberry yet because there is no software. WIP by all accounts

I'm not a 12 year old girl who plays farming games so rarely use flash sites

Bottom line, Playbook is better than the iPad because it has Flash and Android Apps.....

Playbook is as big a let down as the torch was.

1.5mm thicker; makes the playbook useless :facepalm: Still though. it's got Flash and can run Android apps.....


Its over 10mm thicker on the edge which is where you hold it. Does make a difference to the overall 'feel' when using it IMO.

In design it reminds me of the original tablets in 2001 that never took off.

Not sure where you're getting 10mm from; playbook is 0.40" and the iPad 2 is 0.34", which is 0.06" difference which is 1.524mm :|



Guess he means the sloped bit of the iPad at the sides.

Either way, it still has Flash and supports Android apps......

I was considering one. QNX looks fantastic and it's a simplenyetnelegant device. Let down by a couple of flaws though. No inbuilt bb mail client and no inbuilt blackberry calendar.

It has flash though.

Not seen a thread on this, but is it an ipad killer just like the storm was the iphone killer? :o
